FAS allows you to send and receive wire orders “Florist Direct” through the Independent Florists’ Association (IFA). When you send an order through a traditional wire service, 20% of the order amount is kept by the sending shop, 7% goes to the wire service, and 73% is paid to the filling shop. The filling shop must then wait 30-45 days to receive payment for orders filled through a traditional wire service. With Florist Direct orders sent through IFA, the sending shop still earns its 20% and relay fee, but the filling shop earns 80%--$3-$6 more for each order filled--and the filling shop is paid immediately with a credit card for all orders filled.
