Show Me Shop is the University’s eProcurement marketplace, providing access to contracted suppliers and University-specific pricing through PeopleSoft. Through Show Me Shop, users shop through approved catalogs on vendor websites customized for the University (sometimes referred to as a "punchout"), then return the cart of selected items to Show Me Shop to create a requisition within the purchasing system. Some suppliers also allow users to configure item features or upload special quotes.

How Show Me Shop Works

Show Me Shop is accessed through PeopleSoft and connects users to approved supplier websites through “punchout” catalogs created specifically for the University of Missouri. (They are called "punchout catalogs" because users leave the procurement system temporarily to shop directly on the supplier’s customized website.) After selecting items from a supplier's catalog, users return their cart to Show Me Shop, where the items are added to a shopping cart and used to create a PeopleSoft requisition.
 
These supplier sites reflected discounted pricing for the University, however, available items and prices may change based on each supplier’s contract. Some suppliers also allow you to configure items with the features you want (e.g., computers) or upload special quotes.
 
Each supplier catalog works a little differently. Functions like search tools, updating shopping carts, managing favorites, item comparison and returning carts to Show Me Shop vary by supplier, although they often function similarly to the supplier’s standard website. While users cannot compare prices between suppliers within Show Me Shop, some supplier sites allow product comparisons within their own catalog.
