Order now, pay by invoice — for schools, clubs and organisations

Cricket-Hockey.com has supplied schools and clubs since 1999. With a trade account you can order everything on our website and pay by invoice on 30-day payment terms — no card needed at checkout, no chasing quotes by email. It works with your purchase order process, and it's free.

How it works

1. Apply once. Fill in our short application form — it takes about two minutes. We approve most applications within one working day.
2. Shop as normal. Browse and add to basket just like any other customer, with any agreed school discount applied automatically.
3. Choose "Pay by invoice" at checkout. Enter your purchase order number (you can also upload the PO document if you have one).
4. We check your order and email our invoice — complete with your PO number, our VAT number and bank details — straight to your finance office or bursar. Your goods are dispatched immediately; payment isn't required before delivery.
5. Pay within 30 days by bank transfer, quoting the invoice number.

What you'll need to apply

• Your organisation's name and address
• Your accounts contact — the person or department who receives and pays your invoices (often the finance office or bursar, not the person placing orders)
• A free Cricket-Hockey.com customer account — you'll be asked to sign in or create one when you apply, and it becomes the login you order with

Common questions

Can we still pay by card?
Yes — invoice payment is an extra option, not a replacement. You can pay by card or PayPal on any order whenever that's easier.

Who receives the invoice?
Your accounts contact, with a copy to whoever placed the order. Invoices arrive as a PDF with your PO number on them, so your finance system can match them straight away.

Do repeat orders take longer?
No — once your account is established, repeat orders are approved and invoiced automatically, so they go to our warehouse just as fast as card orders.

Several people order for our school — do we all need accounts?
For now each trade account is linked to one login, so most schools share a single login between staff who order. The invoices always go to your finance contact regardless of who places the order.

We need a quote before we can raise a PO.
No problem — email us the list of what you need and we'll send a written quote you can raise your purchase order against.
