What is a resale certificate?
A resale certificate (also called a reseller’s permit or sales tax exemption certificate) is a state-issued document that lets your business buy goods for resale without paying sales tax at purchase — because tax is collected when you sell the finished product to your customer. Screen printers, embroiderers, and promotional product companies use them on every blank they buy.
How to set it up (about 2 minutes)
- Open a free account (or sign in).
- Go to Account → Tax Certificates and upload your certificate.
- We review it (usually within one business day) and mark your account exempt for the applicable jurisdiction.
- That’s it — every future checkout is automatically tax-exempt. We keep the certificate on file and handle renewal reminders.
Which states does it cover?
Your exemption applies in the jurisdictions your certificate covers. If you sell in multiple states, upload each certificate and we’ll apply the right one per order. You remain responsible for the accuracy and validity of any certificate you provide.
Don’t have one yet?
Resale permits are issued by your state’s department of revenue, usually free or nearly free, with a same-week turnaround in most states. It typically pays for itself on your first bulk order.
