Underpaid coverage

Definition

Underpaid coverage is a tolerance band in a crypto invoice inside which a slightly-short payment still settles the order.

Why it matters

Wallets often deduct the network fee from the typed amount instead of adding it, so the merchant receives marginally less than invoiced. The invoice fails without coverage, leaving funds in limbo. A two to three percent coverage setting absorbs essentially every wallet fee quirk.
