Add option to forgive invoices below a certain ammount

Payment providers will often have fees that operate as some percentage, plus some constant. If an invoice would be charged below a certain threshold, it may not be worth charging at all. It would be useful for these invoices to set a value where, if the invoice total is less than that amount, the invoice is "forgiven" and considered paid automatically.
As an example, If I have a user who uses a feature just past the free tier due to site lag on user-visable usage, or other such issues, their total usage might be under the 50 cent stripe minimum charge. In that case, its not worth charging the user that amount, and for perception reasons, it may just be better to forgive that invoice.

Yes or another solution that may be simpler for traceability: with this minimum billing amount parameter and let the invoice be created by indicating “Free” (multilingual and understandable by all)/€0 on the invoice to keep track but avoid payment, which is an unnecessary real cost.
For our part, every end of the month, our monthly subscriptions, which are all set for payment on the 1st day of the month, have too low amounts on the last days of the month when creating subscriptions, which are done on a pro rata basis until the following month. So it is not an isolated case but very very common!
