The Benefits of buyWays
Clemson E-Procurement Solution: buyWays
buyWays is Clemson's online catalog and ordering solution. This electronic requisitioning tool helps you quickly locate the best pricing with our preferred suppliers, find an item available through Clemson and state contracts, compare products across suppliers, and much more.
Everyone can shop in buyWays, but not all can submit a shopping cart for approval. If you are only a shopper, you must assign your cart to the requisitioner in your department. To modify your role from shopper to requisitioner, your Budget Center must submit the role identification form.
