Net 30 Payment Terms
Orders placed on a purchase order are invoiced on Net 30 terms: 30 days from the date of the invoice to pay. Nothing is charged at checkout, so purchasing lines up with your accounts payable cycle instead of the day someone happened to order.
Who Gets Net 30
Schools, TAFEs, universities and government departments get Net 30 automatically. There's no application and no approval step. Order from your institutional email address (.edu.au, .gov.au, .ac.nz, .school.nz or .govt.nz), ship to the institution's address, and Purchase Order is there in the payment methods straight away.
Commercial businesses are the exception. Business accounts are credit-assessed before we extend terms, which is a short form rather than a long process: apply at Set up a purchase-order account and we'll come back to you. If you'd rather skip the credit check, you can prepay on a proforma invoice instead.
Placing Orders on Terms
- Add your items to the cart and go to checkout.
- Type your PO number into the Purchase Order Number field.
- Choose Purchase Order as your payment method.
- Submit, then attach a copy of the purchase order on the confirmation screen, or later from your Orders page.
The tax invoice, quoting your PO number, goes to your accounts team, and payment is due within 30 days of its date. We need the PO copy and an invoice address before the order goes out, which the confirmation screen asks for; you can also forward any invoice straight to your accounts payable inbox in one click from the order page.
Statements
Account statements are in your account dashboard whenever you want them. If your accounts team needs one emailed directly, tell us where to send it and we'll arrange it.
Any questions about terms, or something that needs a different arrangement, just ask.
