Credit limit

Manage your distributor’s credit limit.

This is the distributor’s credit limit. Once this limit is reached, PortaBilling suspends the access to the distributor's operations. This limits your risk of loss in case the distributor goes out of business.

Typically, you define the credit limit when you create the distributor. Here you can change it or set a limit if you didn’t do that before.

Unfold this block if you need to temporarily increase your distributor's credit limit, e.g., to grant access to the service based on payment confirmation details even if the payment did not yet arrive. The maximum amount by which you can increase the credit limit and the maximum possible duration of this increase depend on the limits defined for you as an administrator. The default limits are defined on the Configuration server web interface via the Max_Temp_Credit_Limit and Max_Valid_Until options.

Specify the credit limit increase either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the current limit. In the Valid until field, specify the date and time for when an increased credit limit value will automatically revert to a permanent state.

When the credit limit is temporarily increased, you can see the complete information about the current credit limit on the top of the panel.

To delete the temporary increase in the credit limit, click Remove temporary increase.

Unfold this block if you need to define a credit limit warning threshold for the distributor. Specify the warning threshold either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the credit limit amount. When the distributor's balance reaches the threshold, the distributor receives a notification.

To send several thresholds, define several thresholds. Click Add  and enter a value.

To delete a threshold, click Delete .
