# New: Payment Terms API

We’ve just launched the Payment Terms API to allow you to build apps that can set due dates on an order and track overdue payments with the newly added overdue status.

Payment terms and overall payment flexibility are important to Shopify merchants, especially those selling B2B, as they allow merchants to improve their buyer experience by offering personalized payment options and reduce the manual effort required to manage and process payments due at a later date.
