Buyers who treat payment and credit terms as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Box 3.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Box 3
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box 3 economics actually settle.
