Unlike other payment methods, you can check the balance and authorization amount of a paymentMethod at any time by API and on the dashboard. Customers can always increase their aurthorization on the customer portal.

​
On Dashboard

Customers -> select customer -> payment methods Paymentmethods Pn Invoices -> Draft or Open -> Auth / Balance column Authbalance Pn

​
By API

Call the paymentMethods endpoint. The response will include: 
"preAuthorization": {
        "balance": "2000.802177",
        "authorization": "100000.01"
  }
The balance amount is in the token amount and pre-formatted for token decimals. For stablecoins, like USDC and USDT, the token amount is equal to $1. For all other tokens, you will can use the decimals and exchange rate provided in the response to convert. 
 "decimals": 6,
        "exchangeRates": [
          {
            "currency": "USD",
            "price": "10000",
            "provider": "Loop",
            "timestamp": 1760629472
          }

Handling insufficient token balance

It is up to the end User to add more money to their wallet. Handling insufficient authorization While the Pay component prompts the User to set a high enough authorization to cover future payments, this amount is consumed as payment occurs onchain. Thus, a may User need to increase their authorization. This functionality is a core feature of blockchains and cannot be overridden by Loop. If a User needs to increase their authorization, you can use the Manage Widget to provide a place for Users to easily adjust their authorization amount.
