Shop Online with TUmarketplace!

We are pleased to announce the release of TUmarketplace, Beta version, a convenient online one-stop shopping site where you can browse, buy, and take advantage of automatic payment for departmental purchases up to $5,000.

Similar to Amazon.com, TUmarketplace Beta allows authorized Temple University staff to:

      ·        shop at anytime from any computer with an internet connection

·        select commodities from Temple University contracted vendors

·        compare prices

·        store products in a draft cart

·        keep track of items frequently ordered in the My Favorites folder

·        combine orders from different vendors into one shopping cart

·        take advantage of automatic payment and fast shipping

·        track new orders and refer to previous orders

·        generate reports to monitor expenditures

Commodities available from Temple University’s contracted vendors include scientific and lab supplies, computer hardware and software, maintenance, repair and operating supplies and more. This new service will reduce many P-card expenditures and eventually eliminate expenditures on master purchase orders.
