Payment Terms in Wholesale Jewelry Sourcing: A Guide for Independent Retailers
Understanding how payment terms and deposits function in factory-direct jewelry sourcing. Learn about standard industry practices for wholesale orders.
Clazoire requires a 50% deposit on every order to buy the gold and book production, with remaining balances due prior to shipment. We accept wire transfers, credit cards, and PayPal Business. These standard terms ensure a consistent, transparent flow from our Surat factory to your retail counter.
standardizing the wholesale payment flow
When you source factory-direct, the payment structure is a reflection of the production cycle. We operate on a model that prioritizes the stability of the bench. A 50% deposit confirms the order and secures the materials, allowing our team to move from spec to casting without delay. This is the industry standard for custom manufacturing, ensuring that both the maker and the retailer are aligned on the production commitment before the first gold is melted.
For independent retailers, cash flow is the lifeblood of the business. That is why the terms stay simple: a 50% deposit buys the gold and books the order into the production schedule, and the balance is due before it ships — every order, every account, with access to our full range of 14KT to 18KT gold and diamond-set pieces.
payment methods and logistics
We accept wire transfers, credit cards, and PayPal Business. Wire transfers remain the most efficient method for larger production runs, while cards and PayPal provide immediate confirmation for smaller, rapid-turnaround orders. Regardless of the method, every transaction is handled through our secure channels. If you are preparing for a specific seasonal launch or a custom private-label order, we recommend discussing your preferred payment method when you submit your initial quote request.
We do not believe in hidden fees or complex financing structures that distract from the quality of the jewelry itself. Our focus is on the craft—making sure the stone setting is precise and the finish is clean. The payment terms are simply the mechanism that supports that work. We keep the process straightforward so you can focus on the collections that will perform best on your shop floor.
managing expectations on terms
Not every supplier operates with the same transparency. When you source from a factory, you are entering a partnership that requires clear communication. We answer quote requests within about two hours on weekdays, and this speed applies to our administrative processes as well. If you have questions about your account status or need to clarify a payment schedule for a high-volume order, we address those directly via WhatsApp or email. By removing the middleman, we ensure that the capital you invest goes directly into the quality of the product rather than into unnecessary layers of supply-chain overhead.
