Plan Monthly AI Credits
Launch 100
Grow 200
Scale 400
Premium Trial 400

Prerequisites:

  • A Launch, Grow, Scale or Premium Trial plan.
  • A credit or debit card. You can add one during checkout, or first in Billing (see How to Manage Your Payment Cards).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open the Credits tab

  1. Click your name or profile picture at the top right of the dashboard.
  2. Click Billing.
  3. Click the Credits tab. AI Credits is the first section.

Shortcut for store owners: click the lightning-bolt icon (Credits Usage) in the top bar, then click Top Up next to AI Credits. This opens the Credits tab with the top-up window already open, so you can skip to Step 3, item 2.

Step 2: Check your balance

The AI Credits section shows:

  • Credits available: your total balance, which is your monthly allowance left plus your top-up credits left
  • Monthly allowance: a bar with your plan's badge and how much is left this month, written as 80 of 100 left, and the date it renews (Renews on)
  • Top-up credits: a bar with how much is left of the credits you bought, and 50 credits for $ 1.00 beside the Top Up button
  • By using AI, you have achieved: the hours AI has saved you
  • Usage history: every AI action that used credits, with the balance it was paid from. See How to Check Your AI Credit Usage.

Step 3: Choose how much to buy

  1. Click Top Up.
  2. In the Top Up Your AI Credits window, enter a whole dollar amount from $10 to $1,000. Every $1 buys 50 credits.
  3. Click Confirm. If the amount is outside $10 to $1,000, the window keeps it and shows the reason in red under the box, so you can correct it there.

The purchase moves to the Order Summary panel. It's on the right of the Billing page, or below the tabs on a smaller screen.

Step 4: Pay

  1. In the Order Summary, check AI CREDITS SELECTED. It shows the number of credits you're buying and One-time payment - 50 credits for $ 1.00.
  2. (Optional) If you have a promo code, enter it in the PROMO CODE field and click Apply. If a Warning window appears, click Confirm. When it works, you'll see Promo code successfully applied! and a lower Total.
  3. Under Select a Credit Card, click the card you want to pay with. To use a new card, click Add a New Credit Card, enter the card details and click Save Card.
  4. Tick the box that starts with I understand that this is a non-refundable purchase.
  5. Click Pay Now. Your card is charged straight away. If your bank asks you to verify the payment, follow its prompts.

Verify It Worked

Success criteria:

  • A Purchase successful! message appears.
  • Credits available and Top-up credits go up by the credits you bought. If they haven't changed yet, refresh the page.
  • The purchase appears on the Invoices tab as an AI Credits Top-Up invoice.

Troubleshooting

Common errors

  • "Please complete all the required fields." with Required* under the amount box: enter an amount before you click Confirm.
  • "The minimum amount for top-up is $ 10.00." or "The maximum amount for top-up is $ 1,000.00." under the amount box: enter an amount from $10 to $1,000.
  • "Please accept the terms and conditions first.": tick the box above Pay Now.
  • "Please select a credit card first.": click a card under Select a Credit Card, or add one.
  • "No saved card on file. Please add a credit card first.": add a card (see How to Manage Your Payment Cards), then try again.
  • "Your card was declined. Please try a different card." or "Payment failed. Please try again or use a different card.": you were not charged. Choose another card, or check with your bank.
  • "Sorry! The promo code does not exist. Please activate a valid promo code.": check the spelling of the code, or remove it and pay without one.
  • "Sorry! The promo code has already expired. Please activate a valid promo code. No changes in billing has been made.": the code has ended. Pay without it or use another code.
  • "This promo code cannot be applied. The payment gateway requires a minimum checkout amount of $ 0.50.": with this code, the total would fall below $0.50. Buy more credits or skip the code.
  • There's no Credits tab, or no Top Up button: your store is on the Free plan or suspended. Upgrade your plan first (see How to Choose a Prosperna Plan).

Limitations & considerations

  • AI Credits are non-refundable. They can only be used on this Prosperna account and can't be withdrawn as cash.
  • Your monthly allowance is used first. Credits you buy are used after your monthly allowance runs out.
  • Your monthly allowance goes back to your plan's amount on the date shown under Renews on.
  • Credits you bought can't be used while your store is on the Free plan or suspended.
  • The amount is in whole US dollars. Decimals are dropped (for example, 15.75 becomes 15).
  • The $10 to $1,000 limits always apply, including when you use a promo code.
  • AI Credits are always paid by card, in US dollars, for stores in every country.
