Badges are issued for the calendar year. When you purchase a Badge, it will be valid until the end of the calendar year. We renew Badges from November 1st through the end of February; you have four (4) months to renew your Badge.
A “Badge” does not determine how a product is priced. The San Francisco Flower Mart Badge system tells our vendors how to handle the State sales tax. A “Badge” allows Badge-holders access to the San Francisco Flower Mart during wholesale hours.
The Mart contains over 45+ individual vendors specializing in all your floral needs.
Most vendors in the Mart accept cash, check or credit cards for payment.
Pricing of products at the San Francisco Flower Mart is contingent on supply and demand. This means that different variables play a role in pricing such as: the time of the year, the type of product, the color, the quantity, etc.
A “Badge” is required for businesses and organizations that will be purchasing products at the San Francisco Flower Mart, during our regular wholesale hours, for use within their business, whether for resale or not.
The San Francisco Flower Mart does not open its doors to the public until 8:00 am Wednesdays thru Saturdays. We cannot allow individuals access to the Mart until after our trade business hours.
The San Francisco Flower Mart Badge system is designed for businesses operating inside the State of California. Therefore, we do not issue Badges to businesses outside of our State. If your business is licensed and working outside the State of California, you may contact our vendors who ship directly and make alternative purchasing arrangements with them.
