Deposits and payment terms explained
Your first production order is paid in full before production starts. Deposit terms can be unlocked for repeat accounts by DAT Supply.
A new account's first production order is paid 100% upfront before the production slot is reserved. Deposit payment terms are not a client menu — DAT Supply can unlock them for an account with a successful order history. Sample orders and Custom Product R&D stay 100% upfront regardless.
The exact terms resolve against your account and order context once your company profile is complete.
