Net Terms Online: Offering Credit Without the Chaos
Many B2B buyers expect to pay on invoice. Offering net terms in your portal can win business, but it needs guardrails.
Tie terms to the account
Terms such as net 30 should be a property of the company, set by finance after a credit review. Show buyers their available credit and outstanding balance so they can plan, and block or warn when an order would exceed the limit.
Keep finance in the loop
Sync approved credit limits and balances with your accounting system so the portal does not become a second source of truth. When a payment is overdue, make it visible to both the buyer and the account manager.
Key takeaways
Assign terms and limits per company
Show balances and available credit
Sync credit data with accounting
