What payment terms do Chinese shoe manufacturers accept and how do I pay safely?
Standard terms are a deposit with the balance before shipment; we quote in USD and CNY and can suggest the safest route for a first order. Because we sample first and show factory-direct pricing, you are not paying blind.
Typical terms
- Deposit + balance: a deposit to start, balance before shipment.
- Currency: USD or CNY.
- First order: start at the 10-pair tier to keep exposure small.
Paying safely
Confirm the company and banking details, keep the contract and invoice, and reference your PO on the transfer. Sampling before bulk and factory-direct pricing reduce your risk.
