Shopping can be accomplished using hosted catalogs, punch-out catalogs, or with the non-catalog form.

Punch-out catalogs are maintained on the suppliers’ CU-custom websites and accessed from CU Marketplace. The punch-out catalog shopping experience is different from supplier to supplier. Punch-out catalogs are created and maintained by each supplier so the exact steps of how to search, shop and add items to your shopping cart will vary.

Instructions on Punch-Out Catalog shopping 

Hosted catalogs are maintained directly within CU Marketplace. The hosted catalog shopping experience has a consistent look and feel regardless of the supplier.

Instructions on Hosted Catalog shopping

To order from any company that does not have a hosted or punch-out catalog, you will need to use the non-catalog form.

Instructions on non-catalog purchasing
