Air Bar Zen Payment and Credit Terms Explained
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Zen.
Distributors reviewing their Zen range usually find that payment and credit terms explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Seasonality interacts with payment and credit terms more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Zen
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.

Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.

| Carton (53 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1582 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
