My suggestion is to have the ability to have more than one customized invoice
to choose from when sending invoices.

The reason for the suggestion is to be able to direct the buyer to my account
that accepts micropayments, or to my other account.

Not sure if this will work when (if) BL 2.0 has auto checkout.

You can customize your invoice, for example depending on payment and/or shipping
methods.

I don't think there is a conditional macro to display different info according
to an order total threshold.

So yes it can be customized but, as far as I know, not the way the OP wants.

If things are set up the same way in the future, I think it would be a good idea
to add a macro for this.

This and a few more I can think of if this system is still used.

It could be done by using different shipping methods.

I believe I understand.

You would rely on the buyer picking the right one upon checkout, or editing the
order to match if the wrong one was picked. Right?

If I am, it still lacks the automation of having the system do the work without
as much chance for human error.

Plus the buyer would need to know if the shipping amount puts the total amount
payable into one choice or the other, many times (if not most) without that
information known to them. Plus calculating fees... seems like a lot of work
for the buyer.

Less work would be adding both to the standard form and deleting one or the other,
if you need to check each time anyway. Hence the reasonable suggestion.

Forgive me if I am wrong or missed something, I would be really surprised if
these macros are still used in a few months anyway. I certainly hope something
better is in the works.
