The Kassa Mall Trade & Designer Program is an exclusive benefit for verified interior designers, architects, contractors, home stagers, real estate professionals, and hospitality buyers, offering 5% off retail pricing plus full Texas sales tax exemption (with valid resale certificate) on all eligible furniture from our 200+ brand catalog. The program is free to join, has no annual minimum or membership fee, and includes a dedicated trade account contact for project quotes and multi-item sourcing.

Trade members save 5% off retail pricing on every eligible order, and an additional 8.25% in sales tax exemption when ordering in Houston with a valid resale certificate on file — for combined savings of approximately 13.25% on every qualifying order. A $5,000 retail order becomes $4,750 with the trade discount, then $4,750 (no tax) instead of $5,412.50 after Houston sales tax — a total savings of $662.50 per $5,000 ordered.

Qualifying professionals include interior designers, architects, general contractors, home builders, home stagers, real estate agents and brokers, hospitality buyers (hotels, restaurants), commercial buyers (offices, healthcare, multi-family housing), and vacation rental operators with verifiable active practices. Both residential and commercial professionals qualify. ASID, IIDA, NKBA, or other professional memberships are recognized but not required — an active practice with verifiable work is the core requirement. If your work falls outside these categories but involves regular furniture sourcing for clients, email us to discuss case-by-case eligibility.

Most trade program applications are approved within 2 to 3 business days of submission, assuming all required documentation is provided on the first application. Applications missing documentation may take longer because we will email you for the missing pieces. To speed approval, submit complete documentation up front and use a business email address that matches your application materials.

Choose one of two verification paths: Path A requires a valid business license plus Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339) for full 5% trade discount plus tax exemption, or Path B requires a link to your active business website/portfolio plus a business email address on your domain for the 5% trade discount only. Path B applicants can later submit a resale certificate to add tax exemption. Both paths also require a brief description of your practice and (for businesses) your Federal EIN.

Yes — if you do not have a resale certificate, use Path B verification with your business website/portfolio and a business email address, which activates the 5% trade discount but not sales tax exemption. Texas law requires a valid resale certificate on file with Kassa Mall in order to remove sales tax from your orders, so tax exemption specifically depends on submitting Texas Form 01-339 or an out-of-state equivalent. You can add the certificate later at any time by emailing it to service@kmhomefurniture.com.

Yes — your Kassa Mall Trade ID works equally in our Katy showroom, by phone at (281) 377-8547, and online via email orders to service@kmhomefurniture.com. The only requirement is that you reference your Trade ID at the start of the order conversation, before payment is processed — we cannot retroactively refund the trade discount or remove sales tax on completed orders. For online orders, email us your item list and Trade ID before checkout, and we will apply trade pricing and send a payment link.

No — the trade discount does not stack with coupon codes (Welcome10, Off25, Savings75, 100Exclusive) on the same order; you must choose whichever provides the better savings for your specific cart. For most orders, the 5% trade discount plus tax exemption beats any single coupon code. For small orders just over a coupon threshold, the coupon may save more. Our trade contact can run both calculations on a quote and recommend the better option for your specific situation.

Excluded items are those already discounted below standard retail: clearance items, outlet inventory, "AS-IS" merchandise, sale-priced promotional items, items already discounted via a coupon code, plus delivery and assembly fees and Guardian Protection Plan add-ons. All standard inventory furniture, special-order configurations, and multi-item project orders qualify for the trade discount with no minimum order requirement.

Yes — submit your project item list by email to service@kmhomefurniture.com with subject "Trade Project Quote" and your Trade ID, and our team returns a complete written quote within one business day with trade pricing, delivery estimates, and inventory status for every item. This is ideal for room packages, model home furnishing, hospitality installations, and commercial buildouts. Multi-item project orders receive priority handling and can include staged delivery schedules to match construction timelines.

No — the Kassa Mall trade program has no minimum order requirement, no annual spending minimum, and no membership fee. The 5% discount applies whether you are ordering a single accent chair or a full hospitality buildout. Your trade account also does not expire or require renewal as long as your business remains active.

Yes — the 5% trade discount applies to your personal furniture purchases for your own home, although sales tax exemption (Path A) only applies to items legitimately purchased for resale or for a client project, per Texas state tax law. Personal use items must be ordered with tax included. Our trade contact will help you separate personal-use and resale orders correctly for accurate tax handling.

Email service@kmhomefurniture.com with subject "Update Trade Account" and include your Trade ID along with the updated information (new business name, address, resale certificate, EIN, or contact details). Updates typically process within 1–2 business days. If you change your business entity (new LLC, partnership, sale of practice), we will request updated documentation to reissue your Trade ID under the new entity.

For most trade arrangements, the trade member places the order under their account and arranges payment from the client separately — Kassa Mall does not typically bill third parties directly on trade orders. For volume hospitality or commercial accounts, we can discuss direct invoicing on a case-by-case basis. Contact your trade representative to discuss billing arrangements for specific project structures.

Yes — trade members retain access to all standard payment options including layaway over 3 to 5 months, 90 Days Same as Cash financing, and "No Credit Needed" lease-to-own programs through our six financing partners. Combining trade pricing with financing is common for designers furnishing client projects on cash flow that does not match delivery timing. See the Online Ordering page for full payment details.
