Avnet PayNow

A component of the CloudReady initiative, Avnet’s PayNow Program offers partners the choice between receiving commission payments as managed and cloud services are delivered, or accepting an upfront payment.

That means partners are able to stay focused on growing their sales, while leveraging our credit and collection capabilities to reduce payment time and eliminate the hassle and cost of managing these transactions in-house.
