How do I place a tax exempt order online with a credit card?Updated 2 months ago

Here's how to place a tax exempt order with a credit card:


  • Visit our website at www.insectlore.com
  • Click "login" in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
    • Enter your email address. You’ll get a security code emailed to you.
    • Enter the security code in the required field.
  • After completing login, visit the Tax Exempt Certificate Upload Portal. (Note - you must be logged into your account to access the portal)
  • Select "Upload Pre-completed Certificates"
  • Answer the prompts and click "next".
  • Upload your pre-completed certificate provided to you by your district or tax-exempt organization.
  • You are now ready to complete a tax-exempt credit card purchase on insectlore.com!
  • Fill your cart, select a future ship date (if applicable), and head to checkout!


While you can immediately checkout tax-free using the steps above, you will eventually receive an email with approval for your certificate for your records. You do not need to wait for this email prior to completing your purchase. IRS Form W9 and 501(c)(3) certifications from the federal government do not establish sales and use tax exemptions and will be denied in our system.
 
Orders placed prior to a tax-exempt certificate being uploaded will be charged applicable sales tax that cannot be refunded once an order is processed.
