Click the supplier name to view information about working with each supplier, such as searching for items, confirmation receipt, returning an order, etc. Note: the suppliers you see within eSHOP may vary according to your campus so you may not see all those listed below.
eSHOP contains different types of suppliers which determine how their products appear in eSHOP and how we interact with them. The list below will continue to grow and change as we continue to build relationships with our suppliers.
- Hosted Catalog Suppliers - A hosted catalog is an electronic form of the supplier's printed catalog that is loaded into the eSHOP system. Items in hosted catalogs can be easily searched for and/or compared and can also be added to Favorites lists.
- Punch-out Catalog Suppliers - Punch-out
catalogs are
integrated external links to a supplier's web-based catalog. From
within eSHOP, you can click a link to the supplier's site to search and
select
products from their web catalog and then return the items to eSHOP's
shopping cart. Level 2 Punch-out suppliers have the capability
to display results from their catalog that match a search in eSHOP.
However, you must access the supplier's punch-out site to view pricing
and to add the item to your shopping cart. You can identify these
results by the "Order from Supplier" link where a price would normally
be.
- Level 2 Punch-out
