Can Corporate Award Orders Be Paid by Purchase Order?
Purchase order payment may be available for corporate award orders, but it is not automatically approved for every order. A Flawless Awards specialist must review your organization’s procurement requirements and the specifics of the project before confirming eligibility and payment terms.
Yes, you may be able to pay for a corporate award order by purchase order, but Flawless Awards must review and approve the arrangement first. Approval depends on your organization’s procurement requirements and factors such as the order size, design and production needs. Submitting a PO by itself does not confirm payment terms.
How PO approval works
Flawless reviews purchase order requests during the initial project discussion rather than applying the same payment policy to every corporate customer. Your award specialist will consider your procurement requirements along with the order quantity, design complexity and production logistics.
Raise the PO request early, before completing vendor setup or assuming that particular payment terms will be available.
Details needed for the review
Be prepared to provide:
- Your organization’s procurement requirements
- Whether you are considering catalog or custom awards
- Estimated quantity
- Design or personalization requirements
- Budget
- Required in-hands date
- Any requested payment terms, such as Net 30
How the quote is prepared
For catalog awards, quantity discounts appear on each product page and update automatically when you change the selected quantity. Custom awards are quoted individually based on the design, quantity, budget and required in-hands date.
Your organization can then review the project quote and confirmed payment terms through its normal approval process.
Where payment review fits in the order process
Payment terms are reviewed early in the process, before production begins. Flawless also follows a proof-first workflow: the artwork and personalization details are reviewed, a production-ready digital proof is provided, and production begins only after the customer approves the final proof in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Do all corporate customers qualify to pay by purchase order?
No. There is no universal PO policy for all corporate customers. A Flawless Awards specialist must review eligibility for your organization and specific project.
Does submitting a purchase order mean the order is approved?
No. Flawless Awards must confirm the payment arrangement. Sending a PO does not by itself mean that the order or requested terms have been approved.
Can we request Net 30 terms?
Yes, you can request Net 30 terms during the initial project discussion. Eligibility is not automatic and must be confirmed for the specific order.
Is a deposit required when using a purchase order?
There is no confirmed universal deposit policy for PO-based orders. An award specialist will confirm any deposit requirements for your project.
Are purchase orders handled differently for catalog and custom awards?
PO payment must be confirmed for both. Catalog pricing follows the quantity chart on the product page, while custom awards receive a project-specific quote based on the design, quantity, budget and required timing.
