Payment Methods
Turning Payment Terms into a Clear Flight Path for Your Launches.
How WECENT Thinks About Payment Terms.
We sit behind your brand, so our payment structures have to be as reliable as our chargers: safe for both sides, flexible across project types, and clear enough to survive internal approvals.
Factory-level clarity
Terms are set project by project, documented on PI and contract, and matched with real factory schedules – not vague promises.
Cash-flow aware
Standard 30% deposit and 70% balance on shipment via T/T or L/C keeps your risk controlled while locking in materials and capacity.
Built for B2B decisions
Multiple methods – T/T, L/C, D/P, PayPal, credit cards, – so sourcing and finance can find a structure that passes internal checks.
Safety First, for Both Sides.
Bank accounts, documented terms, and bank-recognized methods like T/T, L/C and D/P. You know where your money goes; we know what production it supports.
Different Projects, Different Combinations.
Samples, trial runs, and repeat POs rarely work with the same payment recipe. Stable 30% deposit + 70% balance baseline, adjust around order size, frequency.
Everything Written, Everything Traceable.
From PI to commercial invoice, amounts, currencies, and due dates are written down. That makes budget planning easier for you and production planning safer for us.
Core Payment Methods at WECENT.
Below are the payment methods we most frequently use with GaN and wireless charger buyers. Final details always follow what is confirmed on your Proforma Invoice and contract.
Standard
T/T Bank Transfer - 30% Deposit
- Structure: 30% deposit + 70% balance before shipment.
- Channel: T/T to WECENT company bank account.
- Best for: standard orders, repeat replenishment, seasonal programs.
Bank - Supported
L/C – Letter of Credit
- Types: to be agreed case by case according to both banks’ requirements.
- Best for: larger orders, stricter internal compliance environments.
Control
D/P – Documents Against Payment
- Flow: bank holds documents → buyer pays → bank releases documents.
- Best for: long-term partners in markets where D/P is standard practice.
Samples
PayPal – When You Just Need to Move Fast on Samples.
- Best for: sample orders and small trial batches.
- Note: higher fees make it less suitable for large production payments.
Cards
Credit Cards – Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, Diners, American Express.
- Best for: samples, accessories, and smaller POs tied to corporate card budgets.
- Note: amounts and availability depend on the payment channel and card limits.
Special Cases
Western Union and Similar Small-Amount Options.
- Best for: small, urgent, one-time amounts where standard bank transfers are impractical.
- Note: availability depends on order size, region, and prior agreement with your sales contact.
One Timeline, Where Payments and Production Move Together.
The goal is simple: no surprises. You know when funds leave your side; we know when chargers must leave the factory. A typical GaN or wireless charger order runs through the following checkpoints.
01 • Requirements and Formal Quotation.
We map your devices, regions, certifications, and timelines. You receive a quotation and draft PI that includes pricing, lead times, and proposed payment terms.
02 • Confirm PI and Select Payment Method.
Together we confirm the payment structure – often 30% deposit and 70% balance via T/T or L/C – and align it with your internal approval process and project dates.
03 • Deposit Received and Production Scheduled.
Once the deposit or initial payment is received, we secure materials, book capacity on the relevant GaN or wireless charger line, and lock the production window into our factory plan.
04 • Production, Testing, and Checkpoints.
Assemblies, functional tests, and aging tests move in stages. At agreed points we share status, photos, or test snapshots so you can see how your PO is progressing without leaving your desk.
05 • Pre-shipment QC and Balance / Bank Release.
After QC and pre-shipment checks, we notify you the goods are ready. You arrange the balance payment or bank release according to the chosen method, closing the financial loop before shipment.
06 • Shipment and Documentation.
We dispatch the goods according to the agreed Incoterms and provide commercial invoice, packing list, BL and other documents you need for customs, warehousing, and internal reconciliation.
Picking a Payment Structure for Each Stage of the Relationship.
A first sample, a proven bestseller, and a new multi-year program do not need the same payment setting. Instead of forcing one rule everywhere, we adjust within a familiar, bankable framework.

Payment FAQs from Sourcing and Finance Teams.
For GaN and wireless charger production, our standard approach is still a deposit plus balance – most often 30% and 70%. This keeps factory planning realistic and avoids overcommitting capacity. For special cases, talk to us early so we can see what is possible within policy.
The usual practice is that each side covers charges from its own bank. If a project requires a different arrangement, we will write it clearly into the PI and invoices so your accounting team has a clean trail.
Yes, in many cases. A common pattern is to use PayPal or card for samples, then T/T or L/C for mass production. What matters is that the structure is agreed and documented before we move into large commitments.
USD is our main settlement currency. For some orders we can also work with other major currencies through specific platforms or bank arrangements. Let your WECENT contact know your preference so we can confirm options before you lock budgets.
