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.

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

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