Payment Options

Payment Options (United States Store)

All orders ship from our US warehouse with US tracking, so there are no customs charges or import duties on your end.

Card at checkout

The fastest way to order. Credit card, school P-Card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Shop Pay. Your receipt arrives by email straight away, which is what most people need for a P-Card acquittal or a reimbursement.

Most people asking us for an invoice are not actually required to go through procurement. If a department card is an option, it will save you several weeks.

School and Government Payment via Invoice

For K-12 schools and districts, PTA, PTO and booster clubs, colleges and universities, parks and rec departments, camps and youth organisations, and government agencies.

Order now and pay later. Nothing is charged at checkout.

How it works

  1. Add what you need to your cart and choose School Payment via Invoice at the payment step.
  2. We email you an invoice, usually within one business day, with our ACH and wire details.
  3. Pay by ACH, wire, or card using the Pay now button on the invoice.
  4. We ship once we have your payment or your purchase order.

Purchase order numbers. If your invoice needs to show a PO number, reply to your order confirmation email and we will add it.

Payment terms. We offer Net 30 on verified institutional purchase orders. Just tell us and we will note it on the invoice.

There is no minimum order.

Please pay electronically, not by check

We are an Australian company shipping from a US warehouse, and we have no US office to receive mail. We cannot accept or bank paper checks.

This matters more than it sounds, because most accounts payable systems default to mailing a check to whatever remit-to address they hold. Two things save a lot of time:

  • Ask your purchasing team to set us up as an electronic payment or ACH vendor, not the check or verbal PO category. It is the same approval process, just a different selection, but it has to be chosen up front because changing it later means resubmitting.
  • If a check has already been raised, tell us before it is posted and we will sort out an alternative.

Vendor setup

We supply a Form W-8BEN-E rather than a W-9, because we are a foreign corporation from Australia. It does the same job for your files and US institutions process it routinely. Our US EIN is 98-1599506 if your system asks for a tax ID.

A complete vendor setup pack, including the signed W-8BEN-E, a sole source letter and our ACH and wire instructions, is on the Purchase Orders page.

A few practical notes

Stock. We hold US stock domestically, but we cannot hold items during a long approval process. If your event has a date, order early or pay by card.

Verification. We may contact you to confirm an invoice order, and we reserve the right to decline or limit orders paid this way.

A note for bookkeepers. Party GOAT is an Australian company, so some US banks and card issuers treat the payment as an international transaction and add a small foreign transaction fee, usually one to three percent. That fee is charged by your own bank, not by us, and it will not appear on our invoice. Not all cards charge it. If you need the payment to match your invoice exactly, ACH or a card with no foreign transaction fee will avoid it.
