SHI Punchout static elements available on every page to help you to navigate the site

1. Use the Cancel Punchout button to cancel the punchout and return to CruzBuy.
2. Use the Home link to go to the SHI Punchout starting screen. If you have items in your cart, they will not be lost. Returning to the starting screen is an easy way to add additional items.
3. The Quotes link allows you to retrieve quotes provided by our SHI reps, or quotes provided by other UCSC staff.
4. SHI's search function is very robust. If you know what you need you can avoid category browsing by searching instead. For example, if you want Adobe Acrobat you can type in "acrobat".
   
   Tip: If your query receives many results, you may narrow your results by including an additional word, "acrobat win". You may also view all results on a single page by clicking "View All".
   
   
5. Use the Shopping Cart link to display your shopping cart contents, and to prepare to checkout and return to CruzBuy. You can remove unwanted items or continue to shop after viewing your cart.

Tax Notice

UCSC is not required to pay tax on items that are downloaded electronically. This includes most software sold on this SHI punchout. If you are not purchasing media, please deselect tax once you return to CruzBuy. See the CruzBuy Reference Review Cart Screen: How to Turn off Tax.

After your order has been submitted to SHI, you will receive an order confirmation and an invoice. It may be a good idea to save these messages, however, you will not be required to do anything with them. An additional message from the software company (i.e. Adobe) will follow to provide you with a way to access your purchased software.

If you have questions regarding the use of the punchout, please contact Procurement and Business Contracts at 459-2311, or email buy4me@ucsc.edu.
