Purchase Orders 101
Purchase Orders, or PO’s, are a payment method Buysocceruniforms gladly accepts, but perhaps you are asking “What is a Purchase Order?” Well, allow Buysocceruniforms to explain that. Purchase Orders are a payment method exclusive to institutions that possess a high level of financial confidence, and oftentimes public backing. The institutions which most commonly use Purchase orders are educational but can also be cities and other municipal bodies. This is why Purchase Orders are especially popular among high school soccer programs, college club soccer teams, and city recreational soccer leagues.
Purchase Orders are a sort of “I owe you”, essentially an institution, whether it be a high school or city recreational department, enters a contractual agreement with a business for goods or services, the institution does not need to pay for the goods or services up front but instead pledges to pay the business within an agreed upon interval. Many Purchase Orders have a “Net 30” designation meaning that the institution agrees to pay for the outstanding invoice within thirty days of the purchase.
The process for your high school or city recreation department to purchase soccer uniforms with a Purchase Order is incredibly easy with Buysocceruniforms. To use a Purchase Order for soccer uniforms or warm-up suits, you simply file a request with your accounts payable department for a Purchase Order in the amount you were quoted on. Then have the Athletic Director, Principal, or other institutional executive sign the order (this varies by the institution). Once the Purchase order is signed it is official and can be used by Buysocceruniforms to place your order immediately. To complete the process you can e-mail or fax Buysocceruniforms a copy of the order, once we receive that copy we are free to place your order.
Here is an example of the process, imagine you are a high school soccer coach and your varsity program needs new soccer uniforms and warm-ups. After speaking with Buysocceruniforms and receiving a quote for the team apparel with printing services at a great price you:
