Aria collects electronic payments from customers under four circumstances, as listed below:
The minimum collection threshold is the minimum amount for which Aria attempts a collection from an electronic payment method. You can specify the minimum collection threshold for each currency in which you do business with your customers.
You can specify whether the minimum collection threshold applies to only collections performed during batch processes or to all collections (collections triggered by batch processes, account creation, plan change in the middle of a billing cycle, one-time order, pending invoice approval, etc.). The setting that determines this is Apply Minimum Collection Threshold to All Collections (under Configuration > Payments > Payment Settings).
Aria does not attempt to collect payments that are below your specified minimum collection threshold.
Any collections that were skipped because of an amount that was below the minimum collection threshold are treated as if they were successful collections.
Note: If you approve a pending invoice and the invoice amount is below the minimum collection threshold, Aria does not collect a payment.
Example: Your minimum collection threshold is $10. In March 2015 you approve a pending invoice A is for $4.00. In April 2015, you approve a pending invoice B for $4.00. Aria does not collect a payment in March or April. If in May 2015, you approve a pending invoice for $2, that brings the account balance to $10. Since the account balance has reached the minimum collection threshold, Aria then collects the full account balance of $10 during the nightly batch processes.
