Payment
Definition 1 of 4
Pro Tip 1/3
Common Timing
Payment usually follows the receipt of goods or services, not before. I'll make the payment once the repairs are completed.
Pro Tip 2/3
Delayed Transaction
Sometimes, payment can be delayed with an agreement, termed as 'on credit'. I bought the sofa on credit; the payment is due next month.
Pro Tip 3/3
Transaction Proof
Keep receipts or confirmations as proof of payment for any disputes. After I sent the payment, I printed the confirmation email.
