1. Credit Allocation
When you purchase a credit pack, the credits are immediately added to your account. Each Watermark Removal pack provides 4 credits that can be used for:
- Creating Invoices: Each credit allows you to create one additional invoice beyond the free tier limit.
- Sending Emails: Each credit allows you to send one additional email beyond the free tier limit.
- Watermark-Free Downloads: Credits used after your free tier is exhausted provide watermark-free PDFs.
2. Free Tier + Credits
Your free account includes 2 invoices and 3 emails (with InstantInvoice watermark). When you purchase credits:
- Your total invoice limit becomes: 2 (free) + 4 (credits) = 6 invoices
- Your total email limit becomes: 3 (free) + 4 (credits) = 7 emails
- Free tier invoices will have a watermark; credited invoices are watermark-free
3. Credit Consumption
Credits are consumed based on the action you take:
- Download a PDF: 1 credit is deducted EVERY time you download a watermark-free PDF. Downloading the same invoice multiple times will use multiple credits.
- Send an email: 1 credit is deducted EVERY time you send an invoice via email (after free tier exhausted). Sending the same invoice to multiple recipients uses 1 credit per email.
- Enable a payment button: 1 stripe_button credit is deducted once per invoice. Re-downloading or re-sending an invoice with a payment button does not consume additional payment button credits.
β οΈ Important: Credits are Per-Action, Not Per-Invoice
Each download or email consumes 1 credit. If you download the same invoice 3 times, 3 credits will be used. We recommend finalizing your invoice before downloading to conserve credits.
4. Credit Expiration
Credits do not expire. Once purchased, they remain in your account until used. There is no time limit on when you must use your credits.
5. After Credits Are Exhausted
When your credits reach zero:
- You return to the free tier limits
- New downloads and emails will include the InstantInvoice watermark
- You can purchase additional credit packs at any time
- Consider upgrading to Pro for unlimited access
