Welcome to Horizon Leather’s Payment Guide. This guide outlines the payment methods we accept for different order types and provides step-by-step instructions for a smooth and transparent transaction process.
We value every customer relationship, whether you are placing a small sample order or a large container shipment. To meet your needs, we offer flexible and secure payment options, depending on the order size and shipment requirements.
📦 Order Types & Payment Methods
At Horizon Leather, we categorize customer orders into two main types:
1. Small Quantity Sample Orders
These are orders typically for testing or initial evaluation. Sample orders are usually small in volume, light in weight, and ready for quick dispatch.
✅ Recommended Payment Methods:
- Alipay – Fast and widely used in China and globally.
Link: Pay via Alipay
- XTransfer – A cross-border B2B payment platform suitable for small international payments.
Link: Pay via XTransfer
These methods allow quick confirmation and help us dispatch your samples in the shortest time possible.
2. Bulk Container Orders
These orders typically involve large volumes, full container loading, and custom production. Given the size and value, more formal banking methods are recommended.
✅ Recommended Payment Methods:
- T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) – Secure bank-to-bank wire transfer, commonly used in international trade.
- L/C (Letter of Credit) – A trusted method especially for large-value transactions with terms governed by international banks.
These methods ensure both buyer and seller security for larger shipments and are preferred for international container logistics.
🔄 Payment Workflow
To ensure a smooth order and delivery process, we follow a four-step standardized payment procedure:
Step 1: Discuss Sample or Order Requirements
We start by communicating with you to confirm:
- The type of product you need
- The quantity
- Any special features or custom requests
Once confirmed, we prepare the appropriate material or product for you.
Step 2: Prepare Goods & Issue Proforma Invoice (PI)
Once your request is finalized:
- We prepare the goods and packaging
- Our sales manager will send you a Proforma Invoice (PI), which includes:
- Item description
- Quantity
- Unit price and total amount
- Shipping method
- Payment method (e.g., Alipay, T/T, L/C)
- Bank or payment account details
You should review the PI carefully and confirm that all details are correct before proceeding to payment.
Step 3: Make Payment According to PI
Based on the payment method specified in the PI:
🔹 For Small Orders (Alipay or XTransfer):
- You will receive a secure payment link or account details
- Please complete payment and share the screenshot or confirmation receipt
🔹 For Bulk Orders (T/T or L/C):
- For T/T: Transfer to the bank account listed in the PI
- For L/C: Open the letter of credit through your bank in accordance with agreed terms
After payment is made:
- Notify our team
- Send us the payment confirmation slip or bank advice for our records
Step 4: Shipment of Goods
Once your payment is confirmed:
- Sample orders will be shipped via express courier (e.g., FedEx, DHL, UPS) with tracking provided
- Bulk orders will be loaded into containers and shipped according to INCOTERMS (e.g., FOB, CIF)
We will send you the shipping documents, including:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading or Tracking Number
- Certificate of Origin (if required)
