Interior Designer Partner Program
Our interior designer partner program rewards designers for bringing clients to BluePrint Cabinets, with commissions based on their involvement and annual sales volume.
All designer-led clients will receive Contractor V1 pricing, providing added value for clients working with an interior designer. Designers may charge additional fees independently of this commission program. Designers who bill clients directly retain full discretion over their pricing.
1. Designer-Managed Program
Commission: 4% to 7%The designer manages the majority of the design process, including:
- Client consultation and selections
- Cabinet layout and dimensional planning
- Colours, styles and configurations
- Client communication and design revisions
- Providing BluePrint Cabinets with a substantially complete design
- Up to 3 design revisions
BluePrint Cabinets handles quoting, technical verification, final measure (if required), ordering and cabinet supply.
2. Collaborative Program
Commission: 2% to 3.5%The designer introduces the client and actively participates in the project, while BluePrint Cabinets handles a significant portion of the cabinet design, layout and revisions.
Collaborative commissions are half of the Designer-Managed rate.
Active participation requires direct involvement in at least one of the following: layout, measurements, cabinet selections or design details. Projects that do not meet this requirement will fall under the standard referral fee program.
Annual Commission Structure
| Annual qualifying sales | Designer-Managed | Collaborative |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $49,999 | 4% | 2% |
| $50,000 – $99,999 | 6% | 3% |
| $100,000+ | 7% | 3.5% |
Program Terms
- Commission levels reset January 1 each year.
- When a qualifying sale brings a designer's annual cumulative sales to a new commission threshold, the higher commission rate applies to that entire sale.
- All subsequent qualifying sales receive the new rate until the next threshold is reached.
- Higher rates are not applied retroactively to previously completed sales.
- Project classification is established at the beginning and may be adjusted if BluePrint Cabinets assumes substantial additional design responsibilities.
- Commissions are calculated on qualifying cabinet sales before HST, excluding delivery, extras, or other third-party services.
- Commissions are paid within 10 business days of the client remitting full payment.
- Cancelled or refunded sales do not qualify for commission.
- Projects must be registered with BluePrint Cabinets prior to invoice to establish eligibility.
- BluePrint Cabinets reserves the right to update or modify this program at its sole discretion.
- Participation is restricted to legally registered interior design businesses with a valid GST/HST registration number associated with their business.
- Designers must complete BluePrint Cabinets' online registration and be approved for participation in the program.
Our goal: Build long-term partnerships that reward designers for their contribution, while providing their clients with exceptional cabinetry, competitive pricing and dependable support.
