Payment Profiles

With Introduction of Payment Profiles, we’d like to get ability to use several of them within the same payment cycle (or better to say “with independent payment cycles”).

In earlier times Release Level was the only thing we could control. Now we have Payment Profiles. However manual switching is also necessary and still no control over exact payment amount.

Example scenario would be:
1) Profile1 should get payment once a {time-period-1} with {amount-1} payment
2) Everything else should go to Profile2 (where regular release level applies)

i.e you’d need following rules to be available:
1) Priority controls
2) Period control (specific or as-soon-as)
3) Amount control

In scenario above incoming sales would deposit in Profile1 safe until it either is full ({amount-1} is reached) or release time comes. If Profile1 safe is full, sales should start to fill safe of Profile2, until release level is met. If Profile1 safe is paid, it is pre-filled with funds from Profile2 safe (as Profile1 has bigger priority then Profile2).

Does anybody have 3 Profiles? What scenarios would work for you then?

P.S. I do not ask for payments at daily granularity, weekly is fine, i.e. ability to do payment once per 4 weeks with exact predefined amount would be great.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I don’t know if the profiles will become that sophisticated, but I’ll definitely pass it on to our developers for their consideration.

If straightforward automation above is that “sophisticated” then consider this change to Payment Profiles please:

Ability to specify exact payment amount.

In that way we can have 2 profiles one with small exact amount an another with big release level. And be safe that not all our balance will go to first profile but exact amount specified in it.

There is still a little progress on this feature request. It is too complex to be introduced in single release.

How about extra parameter in Payment Profile? The one that designates Maximum Payment Amount. I.e. as soon as amount on balance is bigger then Release Level, the Payment Sum is determined as min(balance, activeProfile.maxAmount). Everything else stays on balance:


if balance > activeProfile.releaseLevel:
payment.amount = min(balance, activeProfile.maxAmount)
balance -= payment.amount
