Amazon Business Punchout Registration

Overview  

Punchout vendor catalogs are accessed through the BruinBuy Plus Home Shopping Dashboard. Once selected, you will automatically be routed (i.e., punched out) to the vendor’s website and then brought back to BruinBuy Plus to check out. 

REMINDER: Departments can still use their PCard to participate in UCLA’s Amazon Business program and make Amazon Business purchases. We encourage your team to choose the method that best works for you. 

Registration Steps 

You can access the Amazon Business punchout directly through BruinBuy Plus.  

  1. Once you’ve logged in to BruinBuy Plus, click on the Amazon Business tile from the Home Shopping Dashboard's Showcase.

NOTE: When you first access a non-shopping page, you will be prompted with a one-time password workflow.  
IMPORTANT: Only follow Scenario 2 instructions if the Amazon.com account associated with your UCLA email address has solely been used for business-related purchases.  

 

Records indicate your UCLA email address is already linked to an Amazon Consumer account. To use Amazon Business punchout, you will need to convert this to an Amazon Business account.

Follow the steps in that email to complete the activation process as soon as possible.
