Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Meta.
There is no shortcut on payment and credit terms: the Meta rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
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 Meta
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
A written internal standard for payment and credit terms makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.

Commercial terms
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (127 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1871 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (7589 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
