Likewise, what does terms mean on invoice?
A payment term is an indication on an invoice of how quickly a merchant expects to receive payment in full from a buyer. The most common payment term is known as Net 30. A Net 30 payment term means the merchant expects the buyer to make payment in full within 30 days of the invoice date.
Additionally, what should you put on an invoice for payment terms? Invoice payment terms spell out how you expect to be paid, and might include details like:
- accepted forms of payment (maybe you won't take credit cards)
- the currency you deal in, if you work across borders.
- late-payment penalties, if you charge them.
