Net 30 means the brand pays you within 30 days after you invoice — not 30 days after the post goes live, and definitely not the same week.
Why it matters: new creators assume "posted Friday, paid Monday." With Net 30 (or Net 60), your money can be six-plus weeks out once you add their approval delays. Knowing this stops the panic refresh on your bank app.
Simple example: you invoice March 1 on Net 30 terms. Payment is due by March 31. If they say Net 60, mark April 30 on your calendar.
Your move: ask one question before signing — "What are your payment terms, and does the clock start at invoice or at posting?" Then put the due date in your calendar.
