How to buy
Buy Custom Merch with a Purchase Order
For schools, districts, and companies whose finance office pays by PO. Here's exactly how ordering custom merch on a purchase order works with us.
Yes, we accept purchase orders. Schools, districts, and companies with a purchasing office can order custom merch on a PO: you approve a quote, your office issues the purchase order against it, we produce and inspect the order, and we invoice. Schools and districts get Net 30 on an approved purchase order. Businesses, nonprofits, and student groups pay in full by Stripe invoice (card or ACH) at quote approval, and we handle corporate POs case by case, just ask. For your vendor file, the school and district vendor packet has our legal name, terms, and W-9 details on one page.
How buying on a purchase order works
1. Approve a free quote
Send your design or logo and we'll return a free mockup and an itemized, delivered quote, the figure your PO is written against.
2. Your office issues the PO
Your purchasing office issues a purchase order to Your Merch Factory against the approved quote. Schools and districts order on Net 30 terms.
3. We produce
Once the PO is received, we schedule production, inspect every piece before it ships, and deliver it with duties paid to the one US address on your PO.
4. We invoice on net terms
We invoice against your PO. Schools and districts pay on Net 30 terms against the PO. Everyone else pays in full by Stripe invoice (card or ACH) at quote approval.
W-9 on request
Need us set up as a vendor in your system? We'll send a current W-9 on request, along with our remittance details, just ask when you request the quote and we'll include it, so your accounts payable team has everything to add us before the PO goes out.
Invoicing
We invoice against your purchase order once production is scheduled. Schools and districts pay on Net 30 terms. Businesses, nonprofits, and student groups pay in full by Stripe invoice (card or ACH) at quote approval. Every invoice is itemized to match the approved quote.
What to send for a fast quote
The faster we get these, the faster your PO can be written against a real number:
- Your logo or artwork, any clean file works for a mockup.
- Products and quantity, what you want and roughly how many (see our bulk quantities and pricing tiers).
- Your deadline, the date you need it in hand, so we can confirm the timeline.
- Ship-to: the one US address the whole order should arrive at, usually the school, office, or receiving dock.
