Payment terms — which methods
How Payment terms runs at merch.am: steps, timelines and AMD prices when the choice is driven by clean accounting.
What this page is
Smaller orders are settled via ArCa or Idram, larger programmes by bank transfer, and every quote shows the amount in AMD excluding 20% VAT. This page answers the practical questions: which steps exist, how long each takes and which documents accompany the process.
In Armenia a price wins trust not by being low but by reading clearly — in AMD, with 20% VAT spelled out. In the case of Payment terms that means one point of contact, one AMD invoice and deadlines fixed in writing.
How the work runs
After the quote is approved, the invoice is issued to the legal entity named in the order. Larger programmes allow staged payment — at production start and before delivery — fixed in the agreement.
The core steps of the Payment terms track:
- Payment terms: explaining the unit price
- Payment terms: correct VAT treatment
- Payment terms: the staged payment plan
What we watch for
The risk we watch during Payment terms is this: The risk is a document mismatch: an invoice under the wrong name halts the whole delivery. That is why every step carries a written confirmation and its own owner.
The engine is clean accounting: if the offer does not read along that axis, the Payment terms programme loses its point. We build along exactly that axis, measured by payment terms and VAT paperwork.
