How to Source Air Bar Zen: Payment and Credit Terms

Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Zen.
Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and payment and credit terms is where that consistency is measured.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind payment and credit terms: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Zen
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on payment and credit terms for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Zen.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
