Overview
Amazon Business (BearBuy catalog) new user registration guidance.
Getting started with Amazon Business just takes a few simple steps. First, find the scenario below that applies to you and follow the steps provided to complete registration.
Scenario 1: Email Address is New to Amazon
Scenario 2: Email Address is Currently Tied to an Amazon.com Account (Convert existing account to an Amazon Business account)
Records indicate that you previously registered an Amazon Consumer account with UCSF email address. Please navigate to BearBuy (via MyAccess) and click on the Amazon Business logo to register your login to the UCSF’s Amazon Business account. After you punchout, you’ll be asked if you use your current account for personal or work purchasing, and will receive next steps accordingly.
Follow Scenario Two instructions if you have made only business-related purchases on your Amazon Consumer account associated with your UCSF email address.
Review your account information and indicate what kind of shopping you have done on your account.
Confirm whether or not you wish to add your Amazon.com account to UCSF’s centralized Amazon Business account.
Click on Start Using Amazon Business and you are ready to go.
