What are payment terms?

Payment terms say how long a customer has to pay after invoice issue date.

Payment terms define your payment window, such as 7, 14, or 30 days.

They help set clear expectations and reduce payment disputes.

The due date is calculated from invoice date plus your payment terms.

Guidance only. Ensure terms match your contract and local legal requirements.
