WVU Amazon Business Account now available

To provide additional purchasing options for WVU PCard holders, the Procurement Contracting and Payment Services (PCPS) team launched a new program with Amazon Business today, Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023. All University business purchases made through Amazon must now be made through WVU’s central Amazon Business account.

This new partnership will allow purchasers to take advantage of Amazon’s wide product selection and competitive prices. Shopping on Amazon Business is as easy as shopping on Amazon.com, creating a simple and user-friendly purchasing process for WVU PCard holders.

Additional benefits include:

Free two-day shipping on Prime-eligible items
Automatic tax-exempt purchasing on items sold by Amazon.com LLC and participating third-party sellers
Access to millions of additional products, available only to Amazon Business customers
Business-specific pricing, including quantity discounts on eligible items
Access to the WVU Amazon Business account on your mobile device through the Amazon Business Mobile App via the App Store or Google Play
Access to a specialized Amazon Business Customer Service team

WVU PCard holders received instructions via email today, Nov. 1, 2023, to set up their Amazon Business account and can begin purchasing. Moving forward, all Amazon purchases for WVU purposes must be made through WVU’s Amazon Business account.

Please review the Purchasing and Payment Guidelines and the WVU/WVURC PCard Manual for guidance on items that can and cannot be purchased with a PCard. WVU’s Amazon Business account should be used only for items that are not available for purchase through Mountaineer Marketplace catalogs. Please review the requirements of the IT Purchase Request process (WVU Login required). IT approval is required for most technology purchases, including many items in the Mountaineer Marketplace catalogs.

For questions about WVU’s Amazon Business account, please review the FAQs or contact the PCPS team at PCardAdministration@mail.wvu.edu.
