Whether a fabricator or contractor, every project starts with the same math: tight margins, fluctuating material costs, and clients who still expect you to hit the budget number. GoCash is how GoSource quietly puts 2-5% of your slab-and-tile spend back in your pocket on every job through wholesale pricing rewards.
What Is GoCash
GoCash is the GoSource built-in cashback system for trade buyers: a percentage of every eligible order comes back to you as store credit you can apply to future projects. It runs in addition to already‑competitive wholesale pricing, so you’re not choosing between a good unit cost and a good reward rate; you get both.
Key points for pros:
- Earn GoCash automatically on qualifying orders (no coupon codes or manual claims).
- After each order, your GoCash shows as ‘pending’ until the order is delivered or picked up.
- GoCash is applied automatically to your next eligible order, so you never leave money on the table.
How GoCash Rewards Work Step‑by‑Step
Here’s how a typical order flows for a fabricator, GC or a builder using GoSource:
- Place your order at wholesale pricing
- You source slabs, tiles, or flooring from top brands through the GoSource online marketplace built for trade professionals.
- Pricing is transparent, and you’re already saving compared to traditional local distributors or big‑box retail.
- As soon as you place the order, GoCash is added to your account as “pending GoCash” tied to that order.
- You’ll receive an email notification summarizing the order and the GoCash you’ve just earned.
- GoCash becomes available
- Once the order is delivered or collected (and there are no returns or disputes), your GoCash switches from “pending” to “available.”
- You can view pending and available balances anytime under “My Orders” in your GoSource account.
- Automatic redemption on your next project
- Your available GoCash is automatically applied to your next eligible order, no promo codes or extra steps.
- That means you get predictable, repeatable savings on material costs with zero admin overhead for your team.
GoClub Tiers: How You Get up to 5% Back
GoCash is the currency, and GoClub is the loyalty program that determines how much you earn on each order. As you move up tiers, your cashback rate and benefits increase, especially on high-volume trade accounts.
Here is how the GoClub structure works for trade pros:
- Automatic enrollment when you start buying through GoSource as a trade professional.
- You receive baseline GoCash rewards on every eligible order, plus wholesale pricing.
GoClub Gold
- Reached after you hit the spend threshold across your first few orders.
- Earn 4% cash back in GoCash on every purchase as a Gold member. Here’s where the “4%+ savings” on each project really starts.
- Ten-day price protection and 24/7 priority support from a dedicated Account Executive.
- Exclusive Gold‑tier discounts layered on already‑wholesale prices.
GoClub Platinum
- Designed for our highest‑volume fabricators, contractors, builders and designers.
- Higher GoCash rewards (moving you toward the 8–10% savings range when combined with tier-only discounts and price protection).
- Deeper, Platinum-only promotions plus top‑priority sourcing and support from the GoSource team.

ROI Examples: What 10–15% Looks Like in Real Numbers
Let’s translate percentages into job‑site math.
Projected savings snapshot
| Scenario | Inputs and assumptions | Monthly impact | Annual impact |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Small/Mid-size fabricator 5 kitchen projects per month |
4 slabs per project 250–300 sq ft total Order value $4,000–$5,000 at wholesale $20,000–$25,000 monthly spend |
10% discounts (in average): $2,000-$2,500, Plus: $800–$1,000 in Gocash(4% Gold) $1,000–$1,250 in Gocash (5% Platinum) Total savings: $2,800-$3,750 |
Discounts: $24,000-$30,000 GoCash savings Gold: $9,600-$12,000 GoCash savings Platinum: $12,000-$15,000 Total Annual Savings: $33,600-$45,000 |
|
Multifamily contractor Rolling unit refreshes |
Tile, slabs, and LVT in bulk $40,000–$60,000 monthly materials budget |
15% discounts (in average): $6,000-$9,000, Plus: GoCash savings Platinum (5%): $2,000-$3,000 Total savings: $8,000-$12,000 |
Discounts: $72,000-$108,000 GoCash savings Platinum: $24,000-$36,000 Total Annual Savings: $96,000-$144,000 |
On a per-project basis, that 10–15% swing in material costs can be the difference between winning a bid by a few dollars per square foot while keeping your margin intact, and holding your price while increasing your gross profit on every install. That is real cash you can redirect to labor, marketing, or drop to your bottom line.
Case Study: How a GoSource Pro Saves With GoCash
Here is a simple example of how GoCash and GoClub can change the numbers for a busy shop:
- Profile: A regional fabricator doing a mix of residential kitchens and light commercial work.
- Quarterly material spend (Q1): $90,000, previously purchased through local distributors and a mix of big-box stores.
After switching to GoSource:
- They get savings from GoSource wholesale marketplace pricing compared with their prior suppliers.
- They reach GoClub Gold early in the quarter and start earning 4% GoCash on every eligible purchase.
- They qualify for Gold-only discounts on select slab brands and tile lines.
Here is how the savings stack up over that first quarter:
- 4% in GoCash on $90,000 in material spend, which comes out to $3,600 in GoCash credit you can use on future GoSource orders.
- An additional $10,000–$15,000 in direct cash savings up front compared with their old suppliers, thanks to sharper wholesale pricing.
- Together, that fabricator improves their material economics by roughly $14,000–$18,000 in value in just one quarter, without changing how they template, fabricate, or install.
Why GoCash Matters for Fabricators and Contractors
Beyond the percentages, GoCash and GoClub are designed around how trade pros actually buy: frequent orders, project‑based cash flow, and the need for speed.
You benefit because:
- Savings stack: You’re not just getting points; you’re getting cashback layered on top of aggressive wholesale pricing and tier‑only promotions.
- No extra admin: Rewards apply automatically, and you see balances alongside your order history.
Better support: As you move into Gold and Platinum, you gain priority support and a dedicated Account Executive to handle sourcing, pricing, and problem‑solving.
