Hey!

I've been running a moderately successful e-commerce site for some time now. Today I had a college e-mail me wishing to make a large order via purchase order. I really have no knowledge of purchase orders at all!

I currently use paypal as a credit card processor. I'm assuming purchase orders involve you shipping the product and then waiting on the customer to pay (30 days is customary correct?) How does the customer pay at the end of this time period?

Any insite you can give me into this would be great! I don't want to turn off this customer by my lack of experience with these kind of orders.

Thanks!
