Net 30 payment terms explained
What Net 30 means, when to use it, and how to enforce payment deadlines.
Net 30 means payment is due 30 days after the invoice date. It is the most common B2B payment term — but clients often treat it as "pay sometime next month."
Be explicit: state the exact due date on the invoice, not just "Net 30." InvoyFlow calculates due dates automatically from your default terms.

Net 30 — business or calendar days?
