We offer three different discount groups, Churches & Clergy, Church Bookstores (2 categories; read qualifications below) and Retail Stores. Explanation of each, qualification criteria and terms are specified below.
If after reading the qualifications below – tap here – if you would like to request a discount group. Be sure to complete and submit your registration as well if you are a new register.
A Virtual Store (Web-based business) does not receive any discount but can qualify for the Affiliate Sales program.
For each group two types of discounts apply: normal and limited. A normal, or full, discount applies only to most Icons. A limited discount is one-half your group discount rate. It applies to all products marked as “Limited Discount” (visible under the title of relevant products after you log in). This includes some of the more special or custom Icons, as well as most of the Gifts and Devotional Items. Custom enlargements (as opposed to custom mounting) are also Limited Discount. Books, CDs, cassettes, and video tapes are not discounted at all.
Discounts are not applied if you come to our site via an affiliate link. The site will state if the discount is not being applied because of this. If you wish to receive your regular group discount, close all open browser windows (not just the browser open to our site) and then come back to the site via our main Web address (www.skete.com). Shutting down all browser instances deletes your shopping session and removes an associated affiliate account so that your discount will apply.
You must request membership in a discount group when you create a new account. If you already have an account with us that receives a discount, please also apply for this discount group here with your online account. This is a separate system and you will need to be registered here to receive your discount while you are shopping online. We kindly ask you to allow approximately one business day for us to process your request.
After reviewing the information below, if you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.
