Quartzy is in the purchasing system at MIT! After accepting a quote or requesting an item from the Quartzy Shop, follow the instructions for purchasing the item using B2P@MIT. 

Method 1: 1-Click Purchasing Extension (Recommended)

Tired of the tedious "copy-paste" shuffle between Quartzy and your university’s purchasing system? The 1-Click Purchasing browser extension bridges the gap between your Quartzy cart and the MIT's procurement platform, automatically transferring your order details to save time and reduce data-entry errors.

How to Get Started

1. Install the Extension: Visit the Chrome Web Store to download and install the official Quartzy 1-Click Purchasing extension. (Also supported on Firefox and most Chromium-based browsers).
2. Set Your Payment Method: Ensure the preferred payment method for your Quartzy Lab is set to Other.

Using the Extension

• Navigate to your Quartzy Cart: Ensure you have your items ready for checkout.
• Click "Create PR": Look for the new button in your Quartzy cart.
• Launch Your Purchasing System: The extension will automatically open the MIT procurement system in a new tab.
• Login: If you aren't already logged in, the extension will pause and wait for you to authenticate.
• Auto-Creation: Once logged in, the extension will navigate to the purchase request page and automatically populate all line items, catalog numbers, and pricing from your Quartzy cart.
• Review & Submit: For security and accuracy, the extension will never submit the order for you. You must manually review the information and click Submit within the university system.
• Close the Loop: Return to your Quartzy cart, paste in the newly generated Requisition/PO Number, and click Mark Ordered to keep your Quartzy records up to date.
