Net 30

Net 30 is a payment term meaning the full invoice amount is due within 30 days of the invoice date — a standard trade-credit window.

Net 30 is a payment term stating that the full invoice amount is due within 30 days of the invoice date — the supplier extends 30 days of interest-free credit.

How it works

  • The clock starts at the invoice date (or, on some terms, the delivery date).
  • The buyer owes the whole balance by day 30 — “net” means no early-payment discount is baked in.
  • Variants shift the window: Net 15, Net 60, Net 90, or “2/10 Net 30” (a 2% discount if paid within 10 days).

The term sits on the accounts receivable side for the seller and the accounts payable side for the buyer.

Why it matters

Net 30 is a promise, not a guarantee. Buyers routinely stretch 30-day terms into 60 or 90, and every extra day inflates your days sales outstanding and starves your cash floor. Offering terms is a financing decision dressed up as an admin default.

How Fynex does it

Fynex issues invoices with clear terms and branded payment links, then chases them automatically as the due date approaches — no manual reminders. See why Net 30 so often becomes paid-in-90 and how automated collections close that gap.
