A payment term meaning the invoice amount is due immediately upon the client receiving the invoice.
Due on receipt means payment is expected as soon as the client receives the invoice. There is no grace period or extended payment window. It is the most immediate payment term you can set on an invoice.
This term is common for smaller jobs, one-time services, or situations where you want to get paid quickly without waiting 15 or 30 days.
Due on receipt works well for completed one-time projects, COD (cash on delivery) arrangements, new clients without established payment history, small jobs where waiting 30 days is not practical, and final payments on completed contracts.
Due on receipt means pay now. Net 15 or Net 30 gives the client 15 or 30 days to pay. Choosing between them depends on your relationship with the client, the size of the invoice, and how important immediate cash flow is to your business.
Even with due on receipt terms, some clients delay payment. Including online payment options on your invoice, sending a polite reminder after a few days, and establishing clear terms upfront all help ensure timely payment.
