Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, log in with your Ply credentials, and you're ready to go.
Open Chrome and go to the Chrome Web Store. Search for "Ply Punch-Out" or ask your Ply CSM for the direct install link. Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the permissions. The Ply icon appears in your Chrome toolbar after a few seconds.
Click the Ply icon in your toolbar. Enter your Ply email and password. These are the same credentials you use to log in to the Ply web app. Once connected, the icon turns green and you're ready to go.
The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Y on Windows or Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac. This opens the Ply side panel instantly from any supplier page. Highly recommended for daily use.
What you'll see: After installing, look for the Ply logo in the top-right area of Chrome's toolbar. You may need to click the puzzle-piece icon to pin it so it's always visible.

Tip: The green badge ! on the Ply icon means a supplier cart has been detected on the page you're viewing. That's your signal to open the panel and import.
The most common workflow. Shop as normal on any supported supplier site, then pull your entire cart into Ply as a purchase order.
Go to any supported supplier website (Amazon Business, Ferguson, Grainger, etc.) and add items to your cart as you normally would. No special steps needed at this point.
Navigate to the supplier's cart page. The Ply icon in your toolbar will show a green badge with "!" to let you know the cart has been detected and is ready to import.
Click the Ply icon or press Ctrl+Shift+Y (Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac). A side panel opens on the right side of your screen, showing all cart items with names, quantities, and prices.
"Create New PO" (default) creates a fresh purchase order in Ply. "Add to Existing PO" lets you select an existing draft PO and add the items to it.
"Match to Catalog" (on by default) matches imported items to your existing Ply catalog so you don't create duplicates. "Update Existing Items" refreshes prices and quantities if items already exist on the PO.
The extension enriches each item with full product details and images, then creates the PO in Ply. A success message shows the PO number with a direct link to view it in Ply.
Browse supplier product pages and collect items into Ply lists before you're ready to order. Lists work across all supported suppliers.
Go to any product detail page on a supported supplier site. You'll see a floating "Add to Ply List" button appear in the bottom-right corner of the page. The button only shows on product pages, not on search or category pages.
A dropdown shows your existing lists. Select one to add the item, or type a new name to create a list on the fly. The item is saved with its name, SKU, price, and product image.
Continue shopping across any supported supplier site. Add items from Ferguson, then switch to Grainger and add more. Lists pull items from all suppliers into one place.
Open the Ply side panel and go to the Lists tab. Select your list and click "Import List to Ply". Choose to create a new PO or add items to an existing one.
When to use Lists vs. Cart Import: Use Cart Import when you're ready to buy right now. Use Lists when you're researching or gathering items for a future job and want to compare across suppliers first.
Have a draft PO in Ply? Push items directly to a supplier's cart using AI. No SKU lookup, no copy-pasting.
In the Ply side panel, click the Export tab. Select the draft PO you want to push to a supplier cart from the dropdown list of your open POs in Ply.
Check the items you want to export. You can select all items or choose specific line items. Items you don't select stay on the PO in Ply but won't be pushed to the cart.
Go to the supplier's website (e.g., Ferguson.com). The extension detects which supplier you're on and confirms it's ready to export.
The AI analyzes the supplier's website and automatically searches for each item, sets quantities, and adds them to your cart. Items the AI isn't confident about go to a review queue so you can confirm or skip them individually.
Your supplier cart now has all the confirmed items. Proceed to checkout as normal. The supplier handles fulfillment from there.
The AI review queue: For items where the AI isn't fully confident it found the right product, it will pause and show you the match so you can confirm or skip before adding to cart. This keeps your orders accurate.
