Credit Application

Buying custom apparel for a school, business, team, or organization? Apply for net payment terms and we will invoice you after your order ships instead of collecting payment up front. Fill out the short application below and we will get you an answer within 2 business days.

  • Takes about5 to 7 minutes
  • Decision in2 business days
  • Terms availableNet 15, 30, or 45
Have these handy before you start:
  • Your federal tax ID or EIN
  • Your accounts payable contact name, email, and phone
  • Your purchase order process, if your organization requires a PO
  • One trade reference, meaning another supplier who already bills you on terms

Schools, districts, and government entities: you can skip the trade references. Just enter "N/A, purchase order on file" and tell us your PO process.

One thing the form cannot collect: your paperwork.

After you submit, email your tax exempt or resale certificate to support@theteehive.com with your business name in the subject line. If you have a W-9 or a bank reference letter, send those along too. We cannot finish setting up a tax exempt account without the certificate, so this step matters.

What happens next

  1. We review your application and check the references you listed.
  2. We email you either way within 2 business days, approved or not.
  3. If approved, we set your terms and credit limit in our system and your next order is invoiced instead of prepaid.

New accounts usually start with a modest credit limit. After a couple of orders paid on time we are happy to raise it, so just ask.

Good to know

  • Invoices are due in full by the terms date. Past due balances accrue a 1.5% per month late fee.
  • Accounts more than 30 days past due go back to prepayment until the balance clears.
  • Custom decorated goods cannot be returned or restocked, so please review your art proof carefully. Approved proofs are final.
  • Applying does not obligate you to order, and we do not run a personal credit check on you as an individual.

Questions, or want to talk it through first?
