Which answer would you choose?

Can both be good as an anwer?

I'd use 'balance' for a debt not a purchase. ;-)

Hello ggomad

In the example you have quoted you would pay the difference.

For Examle. Gift certificate has a value of £5 your purchase is £6 you would pay the' difference' which is (£6-£5) £1.
