I'm wondering the difference between 1.5% net 30 and 1.5% 10 net 30.  We use the first on our invoices and recently a customer took a discount off their payment.  I want to make sure we're using the correct terms.  Thanks!

Thanks for posting here in the Community today. Now that I'm here, I'll share some details about the invoice terms in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to ensure you're using the right one for your invoices.

 

One of the most common payment terms, Net 30 days (or “N/30″), means that a buyer must settle the account within 30 days of the date listed on the invoice. It’s important to remember that 30 days is not equivalent to one month. If your invoice is dated March 9, clients are responsible for submitting payment on or before the 8th day of April.

 

Like Net 30 invoice term, 1.5/10 Net 30 requires your buyers to pay within no more than 30 days of the receipt. However, this payment type offers a discount of 1.5% for clients who submit payments within the 10th day of the month. If your customer has sufficient cash flow, they may opt and pay their invoices early to reduce costs over the long term.
