# What if my invoice amount is less than $100?

> We recommend combining multiple orders until they total $100 or more before requesting an invoice. For special cases, contact support.

## Short Answer

To reduce repeated submission, verification, and invoicing work for small orders, **we recommend combining multiple orders until they reach \$100 or more before requesting an invoice**. The \$100 threshold is a **suggested consolidation amount, not a minimum invoicing limit**.

## Why We Recommend Combining Orders

Our platform provides a continuous service, which often results in many small, separate orders. Requesting an invoice for each one individually creates unnecessary overhead for both sides:

* **Repeated submissions**: The same customer submitting multiple invoice requests
* **Repeated verification**: Finance teams checking each order, amount, and payment record individually
* **Repeated processing**: Issuing, reconciling, and mailing invoices one by one

Combining your orders and waiting until they total **\$100 or more** significantly reduces processing costs for everyone.

<Info>
  **\$100 is a recommendation, not a restriction**

  The \$100 amount is purely a suggestion to improve efficiency. It is **not a minimum threshold** below which invoices cannot be issued.
</Info>

## When You Can Request an Invoice Below \$100

If you have a **special reason** that prevents you from accumulating to \$100, you can contact support to apply for an invoice below the suggested amount:

* **Expense reimbursement**: A reimbursement deadline is approaching and you need the invoice urgently
* **Account discontinuation**: You are stopping use of the account and cannot accumulate more orders
* **Partnership termination**: The business relationship is ending and you need a final settlement
* **Account settlement**: You need to settle the remaining account balance

<Tip>
  **Please prepare the following when contacting support**

  * Your account / registered email
  * The order numbers you wish to invoice (can be submitted in batch)
  * Invoice entity name, tax ID, and contact email
</Tip>
