Purchase options

Purchase options are a digital representation of the contract line items you have already purchased, which allow Bazaarvoice to pre-populate your campaign request forms. This should lead to a faster time to launch as you don’t have to manually enter data that we already have. These purchase options as a proof of purchase when submitting a campaign request. To obtain purchase options, contact your Bazaarvoice account team or sales representative.

  • Edit the request to match the purchase option.

  • Proceed, which will trigger a new purchase process.
