Purchasing Materials at CHIP
Purchasing Materials at CHIP
CHIP stocks a selection of commonly used project materials so clubs can quickly build without waiting on outside orders. Materials are purchased through your club account using CHIP's purchasing system—we're unable to accept cash, Venmo, personal credit cards, or other forms of payment.
Each club's financial officer (FO) manages purchasing permissions, including who can make purchases and any club-specific purchasing policies. If you're unsure whether your club is set up for purchasing, check with your leadership team or a CHIP staff member.
If your club hasn't yet been added to the CHIP purchasing system, your FO can find setup instructions in the Club Leadership Resources.
Making a Purchase

Let a CHIP CA know what item(s) you would like to purchase.

Your Club will receive a detailed invoice and automatic charge at least once a quarter showing all of the Clubhouse materials purchased by your team.
