Quartzy is already in the purchasing system at University of Houston! After accepting a quote or requesting an item from the Quartzy Shop, follow the instructions for purchasing the item using MyNSM.
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 University of Houston's procurement platform, automatically transferring your order details to save time and reduce data-entry errors.
How to Get Started
- 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).
- 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 University of Houston's 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.
