Net Terms

💳 Unified Net-terms' is a Ply financial product designed to give your business the flexibility of extended payment terms across any supplier(s) on Ply, even eCommerce suppliers.

 

Here's how it streamlines your procurement process:

 

Getting Approved:

  • Provide Business Info: Share your business details, including the name, location, EIN, and ownership information.
  • Bank Account Linkage: Connect your bank account securely via Plaid for underwriting. Ply respects your privacy and does not store your banking data.
  • [Optional] Bank Statements: If linking with Plaid isn't possible, you can manually provide 3-6 months of bank statements to illustrate your transaction history.
 

Utilizing Net-terms:

  • Flexible Terms: After approval, apply your credit limit to any supplier bid and select a NET 30/60/90 term at checkout. The chosen term will determine the cost of capital for the transaction.
  • Scheduled Repayment: Your order details will include a repayment schedule, allowing you to plan ahead according to the selected term duration.
 

With 'Unified Net-terms', manage cash flow efficiently by consolidating payments to multiple suppliers into one, with the convenience of delayed payment terms.

What is the Ply Transaction Fee?

💸 The Ply transaction fee is a finder's fee that's applied to accepted RFQs:

  • Variable Rate: The fee ranges between .25% - 2%, based on your subscription tier and the specific terms of your agreement with Ply.
  • Transparency: This fee is not hidden; it's clearly itemized within the RFQ as the 'Ply Fee', ensuring full transparency.
 
 

You'll see this fee only when you accept an RFQ, as it's Ply's way of charging for the successful connection made between your business and a supplier.

 

If you have questions about the transaction fee please reach out to your dedicated buyer or someone on the customer success team at Ply.
