What it means

Payment due a set number of days after invoice — net 30, net 60, net 90. The brand ships now and is paid later.

What goes wrong

The clock usually starts at INVOICE, not delivery. A shipment that takes three weeks turns net 60 into net 39 of actual float, and nobody tells you — it just arrives as a cash-flow problem.
