Early Payment Discount

An early payment discount is a reduction offered to customers who settle invoices before the due date. Commonly expressed as terms like 2/10, net 30, it encourages faster collections and improves cash flow. From the seller’s perspective, it reduces revenue slightly but lowers credit risk and collection effort.
