Purchase an Item from the eMarketplace
Purchasing Items and Services
Each available item in the eMarketplace has an Add to Cart button. Some items also require the
user to enter additional information. For example, the user may need to enter a size and color if
purchasing a T-shirt from the store. When a user decides to purchase a product, they must first
enter any required information and then click the “Add to Cart” button. The item is then added to
the Shopping Cart, an abbreviated version of which is displayed in the left menu column of the
eMarketplace.
When the user has selected all of the items they wish to purchase, the user must click the
Checkout button in the menu column Shopping Cart. This will direct the user to the full Shopping
Cart page. On this page, the user can edit the quantities of each item, remove items from the cart,
continue shopping, or proceed to the Checkout screen. The user enters their billing information on
the Checkout page. Once Checkout is completed, the user may view and confirm their order details
one last time on the Order Confirmation page, which also includes the sales tax. Once the final
confirmation takes place, a pre-authorization transaction is initiated. If the user’s credit card or
Campus Card account has sufficient funds for the transaction, the order is placed and the user
receives a confirmation e-mail for the order and awaits fulfillment from the Vendor.
