Purchase Order Guidance

Orders placed with a Purchase Order do not reserve inventory until completed PO documentation has been received and processed by Jumpstart Kids. (Orders paid by credit card immediately reserve inventory at checkout.) Submitting a PO without sending documentation may result in stock becoming unavailable. We do not hold or ship orders until completed purchase orders are received via email.

Jumpstart Kids does not accept blanket purchase orders. A unique PO must be created for each online order.

Completed PO documentation means a signed purchase order on official letterhead that includes the PO number, billing and shipping addresses, and the matching invoice/JMP number from your order.

Payment terms

PO documentation is due within 30 days of placing your PO order on Shopify. If we do not receive your completed PO within 30 days, we reserve the right to cancel the PO hold on your order.

Next steps for PO orders

1. After selecting your book quantity in your cart, choose "Purchase Order" as your payment method to complete your order. You will then receive an invoice via email. Your invoice number will begin with the letters JMP.
2. Use your invoice to generate the purchase order and any required paperwork through your organization's system.
3. Email your PO and invoice to rftr@jstart.org, referencing your invoice number in the subject line.
4. Once we receive your completed documentation, please allow 7 days for processing. Your inventory will then be reserved and your order scheduled to ship. Books are expected to begin shipping in October.
