Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Meta.
What follows is a practical view of payment and credit terms for the Meta, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, payment and credit terms is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Meta
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Meta.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
