Air Bar Zen Max Payment and Credit Terms
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Zen Max.
Distributors reviewing their Zen Max range usually find that payment and credit terms explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Seasonality interacts with payment and credit terms more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Zen Max
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, payment and credit terms is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
