Yes, obviously that's an option, but it's one that gives up revenue. At that company most clients were billed monthly, and it was a small-ish company, so the loss wouldn't be huge (I'd guess mid to high 5 figures). However many payment processors do daily billing, meaning you'd be giving up a penny every few days instead of every few months. I also overstated the customer impact... perhaps 1% of customers would inspect every detail of their statements and they tended to be annoyed by it. The overwhelming majority didn't notice or care.
