Ethereum wallet developers!

Please for the love of all that is holy stop truncating decimal digits when your users copy paste an amount to your interface.

This happens way too often.

Honestly shouldn’t the commerce platform just have a setting to accept the payment if it’s off by a trivial amount?

Or even better just not give a price with so many non zero decimals of dust

This is the wallet's fault. Ethereum has 18 decimals. They can't just ignore an arbitrary amount of it.

As for the e-commerce platform no. It should not. Giving less decimals sure may be easier on the user.

But ultimately wallets should not manipulate input. Path of least surprise and all.

There is multiple payment providers too! In our case at rotki it's our own custom code.

Ok, agreed it’s a bug in the wallets. But  my point is that there are many wallets, whereas you have only one payments provider and they might actually be able to address the problem for you with a few lines of code.
