Net Terms

What Are Net Terms?

Net terms let buyers receive leads and pay on a deferred schedule — Net 7, Net 15, Net 30, or custom. Lead Distro AI tracks delivered leads as accrued spend, generates an invoice at end-of-cycle, and bills via Stripe (or manual invoicing) per the configured term.

When to Use Net Terms

• Established clients with credit — long-standing law firms, large agencies, enterprise buyers who can't or won't prepay
• B2B sales motion — your buyer's procurement requires invoicing, not card charges
• Cash-flow sensitive clients — buyers want to pay after they've collected from their downstream customers
• Volume-based discounting — net terms paired with monthly invoicing enables clean tiered discounts

Configuration

• Open the buyer detail page.
• Set Payment Mode to Net Terms.
• Choose the term: Net 7, Net 15, Net 30, or custom days.
• Set the credit limit — max accrued spend before delivery pauses ([see Postpay Credit Limits](/docs/billing-postpay-limits)).
• Set invoice generation to automatic (Lead Distro AI emails the invoice at cycle end) or manual (you generate invoices externally).

How Lead Distro AI Tracks Net Terms Spend

Every lead delivered to a Net Terms buyer increments their accrued spend counter. At cycle end (e.g., end of month for Net 30), Lead Distro AI generates an invoice for the accrued spend, sends it to the buyer's billing contact, and starts the payment clock. The payment clock is configurable — 30 days from invoice date is standard.
