Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Meta 2.
The Meta 2 has settled into a stable position in the range, which makes payment and credit terms the natural next question for distributors.
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 2
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Seasonality interacts with payment and credit terms more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
