FAQ for Suppliers Offering Instalment Payments
Instalment payments let your trade and retail customers split a wholesale order or invoice into instalments over 3, 6 or 9 months, while you supply the goods as normal. The buyer picks the instalment option on your invoice, quote, checkout or payment link. PaidTerms pays you, and the buyer pays PaidTerms back over time.
Yes. Once the buyer is approved, you receive the invoice amount upfront (less the 1.5% merchant fee), so you are not waiting 30, 60 or 90 days or carrying the receivable on your books.
PaidTerms does. PaidTerms pays you upfront for the invoice, less a 1.5% merchant fee, while your customer repays in instalments. PaidTerms handles repayments and collections from the buyer, so you don't need to chase overdue invoices or put customers on stop.
PaidTerms charges suppliers a flat 1.5% of the invoice amount, and that fee doesn't change with the instalment term the buyer chooses. Compared with offering a 5 to 10% discount to close a large order, the fee is usually the cheaper lever.
With traditional trade terms, the supplier funds the gap: you ship the goods, wait until the 20th of the following month (or 60 days) to be paid, and carry the bad debt risk. With PaidTerms, the buyer gets longer to pay (up to 9 months) while you get paid upfront, and PaidTerms carries the risk.
