MyMarketplace Training & Resources

MyMarketplace is a purchasing platform that integrates the BearBuy supplier catalogs to streamline search functionality and increase price transparency across suppliers.

You will access MyMarketplace from within BearBuy, and your MyMarketplace order will be transferred to your BearBuy shopping cart to complete checkout and approvals in BearBuy.

Please continue to use the BearBuy purchasing forms to buy items from suppliers that do not host a hosted catalog or punch-out catalog in BearBuy or MyMarketplace.

MyMarketplace is accessible in BearBuy.

1. First, log into your UCSF MyAccess account.
2. Then, click the BearBuy link to open the application.
3. Next, click the MyMarketplace icon located near the top of the BearBuy shopping homepage.

These instructions explain how to search for items and compare prices across suppliers. This search technique is limited to items hosted in the MyMarketplace catalog. Additional items are available in the supplier punch-out sites, such as Amazon Business or CDW (see Open a Supplier Punch-out).

1. In MyMarketplace, enter your search terms in the search bar at the top.

2. Use the filters on the left to refine your search by Manufacturer, Vendor, Free Shipping, Small Business, etc.

3. Click on the item to view the product details.

4. If the same item is available from other suppliers, a price comparison will display. Scroll down to view prices and/or Similar Products.

5. Click Add to add the item to your cart. The Cart icon at the top of your screen will display the number of items in the cart. Click on the Cart icon to view your cart.
6. Click Proceed to Checkout.
7. Click Place Order. Your order will be transferred to a BearBuy shopping cart.
8. Complete checkout in BearBuy.
    

Supplier punch-out sites contain additional items and customizable options.

1. In MyMarketplace, click the Suppliers dropdown at the top, and select the supplier name, such as Fisher Scientific. This will take you to the supplier’s page.

2. On the supplier’s page, click the Punchout To [Supplier Name] button. Wait a moment for the punch-out to open.

3. Shop in the punch-out and checkout. When you are brought back to MyMarketplace, select Add to Cart to add the items to your MyMarketplace cart. Note: If the same item is available in another supplier’s catalog hosted in MyMarketplace, you will see the “Lower price available” alert. Click the alert to view options and select the item you wish to buy.

4. The Cart icon at the top of your screen will display the number of items in the cart. Click on the Cart icon to view your cart.
5. Click Proceed to Checkout.
6. Click Place Order. Your order will be transferred to a BearBuy shopping cart.

Typically, you will find your quote in the supplier’s punch-out. However, in some cases, you may need to upload the quote yourself in MyMarketplace.

Note: To upload a quote using the Quote Order functionality, the supplier must be a catalog supplier.

1. In MyMarketplace, click Quote Order.

2. Start typing the supplier’s name in the search box and select the correct supplier.
3. Select Upload and Parse (AI Powered).
   • The order details will automatically appear below the quote image. Remove any items you do not plan to purchase.

5. Review the order and click Proceed to Checkout.
6. Then, click Place Order. Your order will be transferred to a BearBuy shopping cart.
7. Complete checkout in BearBuy.
