Boohoo alters suppliers payment terms

On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America’s most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We break down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

Boohoo has changed payment terms for suppliers from 30 days to 60 days, effective from 1 December, according to Drapers.

Manufacturers will be paid 30 days from the invoice date, up from 14 days currently.

In a letter to suppliers, seen by Drapers, Boohoo Group said: “As the business grows, we continue to review our ways of working (…) We want to make you aware of a change to our payment terms that will take effect from 1 December 2022.

“As we align our terms to reflect the broader retail industry standard, we have worked hard to ensure our terms will remain competitive.”

A Boohoo spokeswoman said: “The Boohoo Group are proud to have been offering our UK manufacturers industry leading 14-day payment terms since 2019. As of 1 December, we are adjusting our payment terms to more closely reflect those of other retailers, albeit at 30 and 60 days our terms remain swifter than most.”
