Early Payment Program

Our Early Payment Program accelerates cash flow, reduces Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), and allows you to have complete user control to turn off the early payment offer whenever you want.

Benefits to Participating

The benefits to participating in the Dollar Tree Early Payment Program include:

  • Early Payment Offer – By accelerating your conversion of receivables to cash, you can free up working capital for other needs.
  • Accelerated Cash Flow – Accelerate turning your receivables to cash by controlling your pay date.
  • Flexibility – Have complete user control to deactivate the early payment offer at any time.

Two Payment Programs

Dollar Tree offers the option to accelerate your payments through two programs:

  • Cash Flow (automatically pays all of your invoices early)
  • Pay Me Early (allows you to select which invoices pay early)

Two Programs to Accelerate Payments

The information below explains the differences between our two early payment options. The early payment program is optional, and vendors/suppliers will be paid per purchase order terms if they do not participate. A minimum of two days is required for Dollar Tree to receive and process your early payment request. All discounts in these programs are in addition to any previously agreed upon discounts.

Cash Flow... Always On

  • This term leverages a discount methodology to reward suppliers who submit error-free invoices electronically with payment in as little as two days from invoice approval.
  • The discount is calculated based on the number of days the invoice is paid early as compared to the “net term." This method considers the variability from supplier to supplier and from invoice to invoice of the number of days it takes to approve an invoice.
  • Once the term is accepted by the supplier within the Taulia system, this discount term is “always on” — meaning all invoices will have a discount applied.

Pay Me Early... Ad Hoc

  • This term is NOT “always on" and instead is applied to invoices that the supplier chooses on an ad-hoc basis.
  • Only those invoices specifically selected by the supplier in Taulia for payment will have an early payment discount applied.
