Payments

If you select PayPal during checkout, you will be redirected to that website, then back to ours to complete your order.

• If your order has backorders, you may not be redirected to the PayPal site. This is because we do not take payment until your order is ready to ship. Once everything is in stock, we'll send you a money request.
• Make sure your addresses are correct on our site. We do not verify any address information with PayPal.

Use this option to get your order in the system now and handle a formal order with payment later. This is a useful ‘self service’ tool if you need a quote to get a purchase approved. Place your order with this option and you can use the resulting invoice as the quote. You can also contact our Support Team and we can provide you with a more official quote if you require. Then, when you are ready to order we can cancel the Offline Payment order so you can place the active, paid order. 

If you no longer need the order as placed, please contact our Support Team so we can cancel it.

This option is not available for guest checkout.

To make a purchase that you intend to pay for with a check or money order please select the Offline Payment method in checkout when you place your order.

In order to make sure we provide the most accurate pricing information possible we have removed the ability for our website to convert to any other currency other than USD as of January 20, 2017. Any pricing and invoices will only display USD. 

All orders placed with applicable state sales tax on the total dollar amount of your order will be charged tax unless you possess a certificate for a valid exempt or resale status that has been submitted and accepted by Sparkfun.

To submit your documents please provide a sparkfun.com account number and a PDF copy of your tax exempt certificate to set up the exemption with the third party software we use for our exempt customers. Please make sure it's a clear copy that shows the institution's name and the tax exemption ID or FEIN to exemptions@sparkfun.com.

SparkFun orders will have sales tax charged in states/territories that collect sales tax, unless you possess a certificate for a valid exempt or resale status.

If you have tax-exempt status or a resale certificate, please reach out to exemptions@sparkfun.com with your SparkFun account number and we will start the process to get you tax-exemption on your orders.

If an order is placed on an account that has not gone through our tax-exempt process sales tax will be charged to the order if such taxes are required.

Note: You must submit your tax exempt request BEFORE completing the checkout process. We are unable to refund sales tax after payment processing. Please contact exemptions@sparkfun.com if you need assistance.
