Trade Membership Qualifications

We reserve the right to make all membership determinations at our sole discretion. Each designer must individually apply for membership by submitting their individual qualifications.

Tax Exemption
Trade Program Members are eligible for tax exemption on all orders, if they have successfully completed the application for tax exemption (separate from the application to the Trade Program), and have been approved prior to the time of purchase.
If you have not already done so, you can upload proper documentation here when you are logged into your Chairish account.
Please note that we cannot refund tax from any orders placed prior to being approved for tax exemption.
Membership Types and Costs
There are two levels of Membership in our Trade Program:
- Standard Trade Membership
- Premium Trade Membership
Our Standard Trade Membership is free of charge to Verified Trade Members and is the entry point to our Trade Program. Our Premium Trade Membership is $995 per year, or free, once you spend $20,000 or more on Chairish.
Membership Benefits Overview
The Chairish Trade Program provides access to four key features:
- Net pricing on items where sellers offer Trade discounts.
- Extended return windows
-
48 hour hold requests
- This allows you time to confer with your client on items they may be interested in
- You can have a maximum of 20 holds at once (both pending requests and approved holds)
- Auto enrollment in Trade Rewards, a program that allows trade members to earn rewards for purchases made on Chairish.
Premium Trade Membership Qualifications
A Trade Member (or company*) is eligible for a Premium Membership in one of two different ways:
- Pay an annual membership fee of $995
-
Trade Member spends $20,000 or more, on Chairish
- All "spend" on your current Chairish account contributes to your achievement, even if the "spend" was prior to joining the Chairish Trade Program.
*Chairish recognizes "companies" as groups of individuals with the same business email domain.
Company Premium Trade Membership
Company spending is pooled, and once your cumulative company spend is $20K or greater, all members of the company become Premium Trade members.
If your company paid for the annual subscription for Premium, all company members become Premium.
Learn how to join a company here. Please note that all additional members of a known Company must upload their tax exemption documentation to their individual accounts here.
If you have a paid Premium Membership, and your spend exceeds $20,000, you or your company will receive a coupon in the amount of $995, for use on qualifying purchases on Chairish.
Designer Directory Portfolio
All Premium Members are eligible to submit their Company Information and photos for consideration to join our Designer Directory.
- All portfolios are subject to review, ensuring that the portfolio is complete and meets our requirements before publishing on our site.
- All portfolios must contain at least 10 professionally photographed images, company name, and address. We suggest that you consult with our Trade Member Specialist prior to uploading content to ensure it will be approved.
- For paid memberships, your Designer Directory Portfolio is deactivated if your membership lapses. Upon renewing your membership, your Designer Directory Portfolio will be reactivated.
Editorial Coverage
Chairish offers an extensive editorial calendar and we are always looking to feature Premium Trade Members.
- We utilize various platforms such as our Blog, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and directly on the Chairish site.
- If you are interested in being featured, you will see a complete list of upcoming opportunities to submit work here. We request that you only submit work that is currently in your Chairish Portfolio.
Termination
Chairish reserves the right to terminate a membership or cancel our Trade Program at its sole discretion, with or without notice to the member. Members may cancel their membership at any time.
