Buy Lists — Buyer's Resource Guide

Buy Lists

Save the products you order again and again into reusable lists, then add them to your cart in a couple of clicks. This guide walks you through creating a list, filling it, managing it, and turning it into an order.

A buy list is a saved collection of the products you buy on a regular basis. Instead of hunting through the catalog every time, you build the list once and reuse it whenever you're ready to reorder — the items are added straight to your shopping cart from the list.

You can keep multiple lists to match how you actually work — for example, one per site, crew, season, or vendor. Unlike a cart, a buy list isn't emptied when you order from it, so the same list is ready to use again next time.

Sign in firstBuy Lists are available to logged-in company users. Sign in to your account before you start so the lists save to your profile.
Master buy listA master buy list can be created for you per request, including all products you have historically purchased from GrowGen.
1

Create a buy list

There are two easy ways to start a new list.

From your account dashboard

  1. Go to My Account › My Buy Lists.
  2. Choose Create New Buy List.
  3. Enter a Buy List Name and an optional Description.
  4. Choose Save.

From a product page

This is a shortcut that creates the list and adds the product at the same time.

  1. On the product's detail page, choose Add to Buy List.
  2. Choose Create New Buy List.
  3. Enter a name and description, then choose Save.
NoteYou can keep many lists on your account (up to 999, depending on how the store is configured), so feel free to organize them however suits your workflow.
2

Add products to a list

Once you have a list, you can add products to it from two places as you browse:

  • A product page — choose Add to Buy List and pick the list.
  • The shopping cart — send your complete cart or individual items within the cart to an existing Buy List.

When you add a product, just choose which existing list it belongs to (or create a new one on the spot).

3

Open and manage your lists

Go to My Account › My Buy Lists, find the list you want, and choose View. From the list page you can:

  • Rename & describe — choose Edit to change the list name or description.
  • Adjust quantities — update the Qty on any line, then choose Update List to recalculate.
  • Edit product options — use the Edit (pencil) icon on a line, change options, then Update Buy List.
  • Move or copy items — select items and use Copy Selected to send them to another list.
  • Remove items — select items and choose Remove Selected.
  • Export or print — choose Export for a CSV, or Print for a paper copy.
  • Delete the list — choose Delete Buy List when you no longer need it.
4

Add items to your cart

When you're ready to order, open the list and:

  1. Select the items you want — tick each one, or choose Select All.
  2. Enter the Qty for each item.
  3. To change any product options, choose the Edit (pencil) icon, adjust the options, and choose Update Buy List.
  4. Choose Add to Cart.
ReusableAdding items to your cart does NOT empty the list — everything stays on it, ready to reorder next time.
5

Check out

Your selected items are now in your shopping cart alongside anything else you've added. Open the cart and proceed through checkout ( or the Quote process ) as usual — shipping, payment, and review all work exactly like a normal order.

Because your list stayed intact, you can come straight back to My Buy Lists the next time you need to reorder.

Buy Lists: Streamline Your Purchasing with Requisition Lists

Company Structure Overview

Using a requisition list helps you save time by allowing you to add frequently ordered products directly to your shopping cart. GrowGeneration’s requisition lists let you manage multiple lists based on vendors, teams, campaigns, or any other categories that enhance your workflow.

Why Use a Requisition List?

  • Reusable: A requisition list remains intact after sending items to the cart, so it can be used multiple times.
  • Compact Interface: The user interface displays many items in a streamlined, space-efficient view.

How to Create a Requisition List from Your Account Dashboard

Getting Started Screenshot
  1. In the sidebar of your account, go to My Requisition Lists.
  2. On the Requisition Lists page, click Create New Requisition List.
  3. Enter a descriptive Requisition List Name and Description.
  4. Click Create to save the new requisition list.
