Learn what happens when your invoice balance is under 5.00 USD.
If your invoice balance is under 5.00 USD on the day it would normally be charged, we do not charge it separately. We carry it forward instead, and your invoice stays open and keeps collecting new activity.
We check the balance on each of your regular billing dates. If it is still under 5.00 USD, we carry it forward again. It is charged on the first billing date where the balance reaches 5.00 USD or more, and it is never charged more than once.
We do not carry a balance indefinitely. It stops carrying on the first day of the second month after it started, and is billed on your next billing date after that even if it is still under 5.00 USD. For example, a balance that first carries in September is billed on your first billing date on or after November 1.
The 5.00 USD threshold is measured in US dollars. If your invoices are issued in another currency, we compare the equivalent US dollar amount, so the exact figure in your own currency will vary slightly with exchange rates.
You do not need to do anything. The carried balance appears on your invoice as usual, and your payment method is charged only when the invoice is actually billed.
For everything else your invoice contains, see Invoices.
