Due on receipt

“Due on receipt” means payment is expected immediately, as soon as the client receives the invoice.

Due on receipt: a clear definition

It's the fastest payment term and is common for one-off jobs, new clients, or smaller amounts. Because “immediately” can be ambiguous, many businesses pair it with a short grace period (such as “due within 3 days”) so expectations are clear.
