A copy of your Tax Certificate must be presented at the time of purchase to qualify for Designer Program discounts. If a copy of the certificate is not available at the time of purchase, it may be submitted later, but MUST be received prior to delivery of the order. No product will be delivered until a valid state Tax Certificate is on file with Today's Patio.

Only persons reselling products purchased from Today's Patio are exempt from paying sales tax. If your client will be paying Today's Patio directly, sales tax will be added to the sale.

Designer Program Discounts

Members of the Today's Patio Designer Program will receive exclusive discounts and special pricing on merchandise. Closeout and clearance merchandise (marked 20% off or more) is not eligible for additional Designer Program discounts.

Working With Our Staff

To ensure your discount or rebate, you must accompany your client to our store or communicate with us about how you would like to work together with your client before they make a purchase or receive a quotation.

If you accompany your client to a Today's Patio location, or make purchases on their behalf, you will receive your full Designer Program discount. Please discuss what amount of your Designer Program discount you would like to pass directly to your client with a salesperson prior to your visit. All or part of your Designer Program discount may be given directly to your client. Any remaining amount of your discount not given to your client will be reimbursed to you in the form of a rebate check mailed within 2 to 3 weeks of final product delivery.

If you prefer to send your client into Today's Patio to make the purchase directly with us, your Designer Program discount will be reduced. Please discuss what amount of your Designer Program discount you would like to pass directly to your client with a salesperson prior to their visit. All or part of your Designer Program discount may be given directly to your client. Any remaining amount not given to your client will be reimbursed to you in the form of a rebate check mailed within 2 to 3 weeks of final product delivery.

No Designer Program discounts or rebates are available if one of our staff members has worked with your client and provided a quotation prior to being notified that you are working with them. Please be aware that the sales staff at Today's Patio can offer consumers package discounts, and a large number of consumers usually ask for these discounts. Additionally, no Designer Program discounts may be combined with any other discount already offered.
