Net 90 vendors issue net-90 invoices to customers approved for credit, and suppliers include these invoices in their accounts receivable. Customers record these invoices as accounts payable. If customers pay the invoice balances in full, enabling vendors to receive customer payments within 90 days, they pay no interest on the trade credit.

Net 60 Vendors
Net 60 vendors are suppliers offering 60-day payment terms to their approved customers through invoices with due dates. This trade credit from net 60 vendors is interest-free financing when the suppliers receive payment from their customers within 60 calendar days. Net 60 vendors may offer an optional early payment discount with the net 60-day terms.
Net 45
Net 45 is an important credit term because it allows customers to pay 15 days later than the more common payment terms of net 30. Net 45 could give well-financed businesses a competitive advantage if they’re willing to take the risk and tie up their cash in accounts receivable longer or offer an early payment discount combined with the net 45 credit terms.

Payment Terms
Payment terms are specifications of amounts owed, how, when, and where payments are due on sales transactions between sellers and buyers. Payment terms from a contract or purchase order are included on an invoice to the customer. Although payment terms may be negotiated, often the seller sets payment terms for routine sales transactions.
Net 30 Accounts
A net 30 account is 30-day trade credit on invoices for business purchases, also known as a net30 tradeline or vendor tradeline. Net30 accounts offered by vendors extend credit to customers with net 30 terms. Business customers timely pay for purchases without interest charges. They improve their cash flow and build business credit history.
Trade Credit
Trade credit is a seller providing short-term business credit terms to a buyer (without charging interest) in a business transaction for the sale of goods or services. The supplier bills the customer using invoices to be paid within a stated number of days and records accounts receivable until receiving a cash payment.

Early Payment Discounts
An early payment discount is a form of trade finance and a means for companies to obtain a discount on vendor invoices when paying early. A business pays less than the full amount due while the supplier receives payment earlier than standard payment terms. It benefits both accounts receivable and accounts payable and helps add to your bottom line.
