### Overview of payment terms

- **End of Month:** Payment is due at the end of the month in which the order date falls, plus the number of days specified.
- **Net:** Due date is calculated from the order date + the specified number of days.
- **Cash Payment:** Payment is made at the time of purchase. Recommended for in-store and webshop sales.
  
  *Remember to select an offset account on the Cash Payment term if you are using e-conomic.*
- **Prepayment:** The amount is paid in advance, no due date.
- **Due Date:** When this term is added to an invoice, you must manually specify a due date in a new field.
- **Factoring (requires e-conomic integration):** When another party handles the collection of the amount, you can split the sale into two portions.
  
    - Fill in the top field **“% Distribution”** with the percentage that the account specified in **“Offset Account 1”** should receive.
    - Fill in the bottom field **“% Distribution”** with the percentage that the account specified in **“Offset Account 2”** should receive.
- **Weekly with Monday Start:** Due date is calculated as the number of days from the next Monday.
- **Weekly with Sunday Start:** Due date is calculated as the number of days from the next Sunday.
