Deferred Fulfillment — Tier 2 Installment Model | Ownly by RBS
Deferred Fulfillment enables merchants to accept deposits and payment commitments before a product or service is ready to deliver. Revenue is locked in before production or harvest, reducing business risk.
How It Works
Customer commits to a purchase with a deposit before the product exists or is ready
Merchant collects balance payments on a schedule tied to production or harvest dates
Fulfillment occurs when product is ready and all payments are complete
Merchant receives revenue before incurring full production costs
