What happens when credit runs out?
Updated 2 days ago
When your Billplz Credit Balance reaches zero or goes negative, Billplz automatically deducts from your incoming customer payments to restore the balance. This is called auto-reload. Your customers can still complete payments, but your payout may be delayed or reduced until the credit balance is restored.
What triggers auto-reload
Auto-reload occurs when:
- Your Credit Balance reaches zero or goes negative
- You have incoming customer payments that day
The system deducts from your daily collection in multiples of MYR 100, rounding up to the nearest MYR 100 needed to restore a positive balance.
How auto-reload affects your payout
When auto-reload triggers, Billplz deducts from your daily collection before processing your payout. The impact depends on your collection volume that day:
If daily collections are less than MYR 100:
- The full collection amount goes to your Credit Balance
- No payout is sent to your bank account that day
- Example: MYR 50 collected → MYR 50 goes to credit, MYR 0 payout
If daily collections exceed MYR 100:
- The system deducts MYR 100 (or multiples) to cover the negative balance
- The remaining amount is paid out normally
- Example: MYR 1,000 collected with -MYR 50 credit balance → MYR 100 goes to credit, MYR 900 payout
What auto-reload does NOT affect
- Customer payments: Customers can still complete payments normally. Auto-reload only affects when you receive the payout, not whether the transaction succeeds.
- Card and wallet fees: These are deducted directly from the payment amount before payout, not from your Credit Balance. Auto-reload only applies to FPX fees.
- Settlement timing: Once your credit balance is restored, payouts resume on the standard schedule.
How to avoid auto-reload
To prevent payout deductions from auto-reload:
- Reload credit manually: Top up your balance before it reaches zero. See [Reload your credit balance].
- Understand how auto-reload works: If your balance does go negative, the system automatically deducts from your daily collection in multiples of MYR 100. Knowing this helps you plan. See Automatic Credit Reload: overview.
- Monitor your balance: Check your Credit Balance regularly, especially during high-transaction periods or before membership renewals.
