What Are the Risks of Paying 100% of an Activewear Order Upfront?

Full upfront payment increases exposure if production, quality, or supplier performance fails.

Payment controls should connect the verified supplier, agreed order, invoice, and beneficiary details. Independently confirm unexpected changes through a previously verified contact channel, retain approval records, and resolve inconsistencies before sending funds; urgency or a familiar email address is not sufficient evidence that revised instructions are legitimate. Compare payment protection and staged alternatives.
