How cash discount differ from trade discount?

Answer:
Trade discounts are guranteed discounts a business is getting by purchasing from a seller. Cash discounts are OPTIONAL discounts that a buyer gets if they opt to pay their bill (invoice) earlier then the due date. The seller specifies in the invoice how many days earlier a buyer has to pay their bill to get the cash discount. If a cash discount is taken, it is applied after the trade discounts, but before shipping and handling charges.
