Air Bar Zen 3 Payment and Credit Terms
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Zen 3.
A range review that ignores payment and credit terms will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Zen 3.
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 Zen 3
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on payment and credit terms it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.

Retail staff rarely ask about payment and credit terms directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Zen 3 economics actually settle.
Checklist

Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
