Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Zen X.
Buyers who treat payment and credit terms as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, payment and credit terms is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Zen X
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Zen X economics actually settle.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
