A credit pack is a plan component that grants credit every billing period, or once when the subscription starts. It can be sold (“$500 a month for $550 of credit”) or included for free (“5,000 credits a month”).

Adding a credit pack

In the plan editor, add a component and choose the fee type Credit pack.
Configuring a credit pack in a plan
Plan credit belongs to its subscription: it pays that subscription’s usage only, and ends with it. Until a paid pack’s invoice is paid, the subscription shows the credit as waiting on that payment. Credit never pays for a pack: the pack fee is always collected in money.

Bonus credit

A money pack priced below the credit it grants adds two parts: paid credit worth its price, and bonus credit for the rest. A $500 pack granting $550 adds $500 of paid credit and $50 of bonus credit (shown as “+10% bonus” on the plan). Bonus credit is promotional: it is used first and comes off before tax.

Welcome credit

A pack granted Once at start, priced at 0, is welcome credit: granted on the subscription’s first invoice, kept across plan changes, and never granted twice to the same subscription.

Rollover

Included packs granted every period can carry their unused credit over once:
  • Most credit carried per pack: an optional cap. Leave it empty to carry everything left.
  • Rolled credit expires: a number of days or months after the original expiry.
Rolled-over credit is used before the next period’s credit, and never rolls over again. Example. 5,000 included credits a month, up to 1,000 rolling over for one month:

When credit runs out

By default, a plan with a credit pack denies access at zero. See When credit runs out.

Plan changes and cancellation

  • Mid-period start: packs that reset each period (granted every period, expiring at the end of the billing period) are prorated, fee and credit alike. Welcome credit is granted in full.
  • Immediate plan change or cancellation: usage up to the change is paid from the old pack first. The old pack’s fee is then credited for the unused days, up to its unused credit, and that credit is removed. The new plan’s pack is prorated.
  • Packs with any other expiry are treated as purchases: never prorated or credited back. They are kept across plan changes and end with the subscription.
A recurring paid pack counts in MRR at its price. Included and once-at-start packs don’t. Packs never count toward a minimum commitment.
