Definition & Explanation

A storage payment plan is a documented billing schedule that specifies rates, billing dates, and payment terms for warehousing services. It covers the calculation of base fees, additional charges (handling, picking, packing), and payment deadlines. The plan defines concrete line items and due dates between the warehouse operator and customer to ensure transparency and planning security. Structured payment plans are standard for longer-term storage contracts and may combine various billing models (monthly, per movement, per dwell time).
