DTFATL Trade is a business account program with clear eligibility, guided first-order support, private pricing, and account levels that can grow over time.

01

Already bought through VIP?

No action is required to preserve your history. Former VIP buyers are being matched with the appropriate trade account level using existing order activity.

02

Each application is reviewed thoughtfully

We look for an established business or organization, a clear production need, and the potential for repeat purchasing.

03

The first order should feel guided

Approved partners move into a clear first-order path with file prep, product-fit help, and reorder support so the opening job feels steady instead of experimental.

Apply for a trade account

Tell us what you’re
building behind the brand.

Trade FAQ

Clear answers
keep jobs moving.

Built for business buyers who need the operating details before they commit a production partner.

Is this for custom-apparel shoppers?+

No. Trade is for businesses and organizations that already sell, press, resell, or fulfill decorated products. Retail shoppers should use the standard store experience.

Will trade pricing be public?+

No. Approved customer accounts receive trade access after qualification. The public page explains the program without exposing account-specific prices.

Can you support rush or downtime orders?+

Tell us about overflow or equipment downtime in your application. We confirm timing for each order based on the service selected and current production availability.

What makes a strong application?+

A real business identity, a business site or social profile, a clear use case, and enough detail for us to understand how you buy and press transfers.

What happens after I apply?+

We review your information and send a clear decision or request the specific detail still needed. Approved partners then receive account and first-order instructions.

How does my Trade account level grow?+

Approved accounts can move from Trade Starter to Trade at 4 completed orders or $1,500 in lifetime spend, then to Trade Plus at 12 completed orders or $5,000 in lifetime spend. Upgrades do not require a new application. Production Partner requires owner approval for an established recurring production relationship.

What if I was part of the old VIP program?+

DTFATL is retiring the VIP label. Existing VIP buyers keep their order history and are being matched with the appropriate Trade Starter, Trade, or Trade Plus account level.
