Shop Using a Collaborative Cart

BuyerQuest allows coworkers to share carts and create groups to shop collaboratively. Use collaborative carts to shop for items needed by a group.

Create a Collaborative Cart to Shop as a Collaboration Group

You can create and share a cart with colleagues to shop as a group from the Shopping Cart page.  To avoid duplicative ordering and gain efficiencies in shopping, use a Collaborative Cart that is viewable and accessible by the members of a Collaboration Group that you define. 

The Collaboration Group you define is available from MY ACCOUNT in the Main Menu and from the Shopping Cart page for your shopping activities into the future.  

To create a Collaborative Cart, click on Create Collaborative Cart from any Shopping Cart.

The Create Collaborative Cart page is available for you to create a new Collaborative Cart. 

1. Enter a Cart Name.
2. Select a Collaboration Group from the list of existing groups or create a new Collaboration Group by adding a Group Name and Adding Group Members.
3. Share Cart to save the Cart and the Group Members associated with it.  

The Collaboration Group you define is available from MY ACCOUNT in the Main Menu and from the Shopping Cart until it's deleted.
