The Four Methods of Payment
Cash in Advance (Prepayment)
In this method, the buyer makes full payment before the goods are shipped. It offers security for the seller but may deter buyers due to the risk of non-delivery.
Letters of Credit (L/C)
A letter of credit is a financial instrument issued by a bank, guaranteeing payment to the seller upon presentation of specified documents. It provides assurance for both the buyer and the seller, making it a widely used method for international trade.
Documentary Collections
In a documentary collection, the seller ships the goods and presents shipping documents to their bank, which forwards them to the buyer’s bank along with payment instructions. Once the buyer pays, the documents are released, allowing the buyer to claim the goods.
Open Account
This method involves the buyer making payment to the seller after receiving the goods or services. It offers flexibility but carries the risk of non-payment for the seller.
