Air Bar Box: Payment and Credit Terms for Distributors
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Box.
Distributors reviewing their Box range usually find that payment and credit terms explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on payment and credit terms for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Box
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind payment and credit terms: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.

Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Most long running accounts settle into a rhythm of monthly top ups with one larger seasonal build per year.
