How can payment terms help to scale the food & beverage industry?

The food & beverage industry’s estimated worth was 5.34 trillion euros in 2022. That will push up to 8.47 trillion euros by 2027.

Brick and mortar shops have traditionally carried out wholesale food & beverage buying and selling. Trade credit has been offered manually. However, this changed in 2020 when we witnessed a massive shift to online purchasing. There was a 51.6% year-on-year increase of online purchasing for food and 39.3% for beverages. Despite this, deferred payment options in the B2B food & beverage market are still not the standard offer for buyers. Banks have not responded to the increased demand for online trade credit.

The good news is this is now changing fast! Companies like Terms.Tech have developed a win-win solution for buyers and sellers. Buyers put off the payment until later with digital trade credit via payment terms. Meanwhile, sellers receive cash up front.

How does it work?

Integrate Terms.Tech’s payment terms into your online checkout. This enables you to offer trade credit to online buyers. If your buyers choose to pay with payment terms, they defer payment of their purchase. But, sellers receive payment upon shipment. Buyers subsequently pay us back in line with their chosen terms.

Our tailor-made payment terms solution caters to all your needs. The result? You do not have to worry about credit rating checks, financing, fraud protection, risk management, payments, or even debt collection.
