    You are redirected to the supplier site to add items to the cart. Depending on your setup, the following occurs:

    • If you've installed Shopping Hub, you are redirected back to Shopping Hub from the supplier site to complete the checkout process.
    • If you haven't installed Shopping Hub, you must complete the checkout process and place the order on the supplier site. For more information about the checkout experiences for shoppers based on whether they have installed Employee Center, Shopping Hub, or both, see Shopper checkout experiences based on installed applications.
