Guest Post: Skyward's Ecommerce Partnership with Amazon Business

#Product Updates Read time:
Editor's note: Amazon Business played a role in multiple fall user group conferences and it was obvious from the attendance of their sessions and the engagement at their booth that the Skyward community sees great value in this partnership. We hope this guest post will be of assistance to those who have not yet set up the Ecommerce integration.


It’s no easy feat keeping schools fully stocked and running smoothly.

Thankfully, you can make shopping and submitting requisitions easier than ever by using Amazon Business through Skyward’s Ecommerce portal. The simple setup and convenient access can save time and money, helping you get students and staff everything they need to succeed. Here’s how it works. 


 

Amazon Business + Skyward
