How to Source Al Fakher Prime: Payment and Credit Terms
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
Payment and credit terms shape cash flow as much as unit price does for Prime.
There is no shortcut on payment and credit terms: the Prime rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
Consistency across batches matters more than peak performance for Prime, and payment and credit terms is where inconsistency first appears.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Prime
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Prime.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
