Frequently Asked Questions
Creating and managing your account
How do I register online?
Use the Create an Account link and enter your contact information, and shipping and billing addresses, to register for an online account. Your information will be reviewed to create a new account or link your online login to an existing account. If applicable, your institutional pricing will be applied to your account and calculated for each order. You can place credit card orders until your purchasing account is approved. However, your shopping cart will display list prices.
How long does it take to have my online account approved?
It takes approximately 72 hours for new online accounts to be approved. If you are placing a credit card order (Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®), you can register and place your order immediately. If you have not previously purchased from BD and would like to order by purchase order, you will be asked to complete a credit application. This will be emailed after you register for an online account.
What is the difference between a Shopping Account and a Purchasing Account?
Shopping Accounts let individuals without purchasing authority create, share, and save Shopping Lists with colleagues and authorized purchasers.
Purchasing Accounts let individuals create Shopping Lists, buy products, view product availability, track current orders, and view order history. Purchasing Accounts apply institutional pricing on orders.

Placing your order
How can I place an online order?

Our eProcurement options work with your systems and processes to ensure orders are placed within your institutional guidelines.
Flexible buying options with procurement controls
- Operational efficiencies
Institutions today are striving to lower costs and gain operational efficiencies using eProcurement systems. These efficiencies include reducing time, touch points, and order errors. - Order aggregation

Learn more about Bd Biosciences' eProcurement options:
Electronic orders
Electronic orders directly link your eProcurement system with BD Biosciences ordering system through a secured connection. This method reduces errors introduced via manual processing. Electronic order procesing supports purchase order and credit card payments (PCI compliant).
Setup requires involvement from your internal information technology staff and enables authorized purchasers to:
- Connect directly with your eProcurement system
- Transmit orders via secure connection
Online marketplace portals
Marketplace portals streamline all or part of the ordering process by enabling purchasers to shop from a static catalog directly from your eProcurement system. This method offers an efficient approval process and purchasing control. To maintain a relatively up-to-date product listing, electronic catalogs are periodically updated, and must be accepted by your organization.
Marketplace portals enable authorized purchasers to:
- Connect directly with your eProcurement system
- Transmit orders via secure connection
- Browse and search catalogs to find products of interest and place orders
- View institutional pricing
eProcurement punchout
Punchout automates ordering directly from your internal eProcurement system while delivering a modern shopping experience.

How punchout works
The punchout solution offered by BD Biosciences lets authorized purchasers browse products and information on the BD Biosciences website from your procurement system; no additional login is required. When a product is selected and added to the shopping cart, your institutional pricing and any online discounts are applied. Then, the shopping cart information is transmitted from the website to your eProcurement system and standard procurement workflow. After the order is approved, it is forwarded to BD Biosciences for fulfillment. Invoices can also be generated and transmitted electronically.
The punchout process is seamless and transparent to your internal authorized puchasers. Transactions flow smoothly and securely while maintaining visibility to orders and invoices.
Seamless integration with your eProcurement systems
The punchout solution is easy to implement and use. The full solution is scalable and cost-effective to own and maintain. Seamless integration with your online ordering through marketplace solutions such as Ariba®, SciQuest®, and Oracle® is also enabled.
Multiple message formats and transaction protocols are supported. Supported systems include:

- Peoplesoft®
- SciQuest
- SAP®
- and more
Direct institutional buying via the BD Biosciences website
In addition to various eProcurement methods, BD Biosciences offers a leading eCommerce website that allows customers to browse rich product information, view institutional pricing, and place orders.
Account setup is easy, and once established, can be leveraged across an institution. BD Biosciences customers who currently purchase via telephone or other offline methods may be eligible for additional discounts for products purchased online only.
