The problem is that existing payment processors have minimum transaction limits that prevent businesses from billing very small amounts, leading to unprocessable invoices.

Workarounds Described

• negotiate with Stripe the removal of their lowest limits
• had similar hard-coded heuristics for the same reasons

Implied Software Gaps

• A billing platform that allows for custom or zero minimum transaction limits.
• A system that can intelligently aggregate micro-transactions to meet payment processor minimums without losing granular data.
