How does UseCredits work?

What if I can't use all my credits?

You can link any number of accounts with your UseCredits Dashboard. Your credits are shared across all your accounts. We're using credit-based billing for UseCredits, you can top-up as and when you want, no need for big commitments.

What if I run out of credits?

Your payments will continue to work. We'll send you an email when your credits are running low. You can track your usage and top-up your credits from your UseCredits Dashboard.

Do I still need to code?

Credits are automatically topped up when a customer makes a successful checkout. You can use our SDK (3 lines of code) to debit the customer's account. That's it!

Do you need access to my API key?

We need the key to set up the right webhooks to listen to your successful checkouts. We don't use your API key for anything else. We store your API key after encrypting it. In Stripe, you can create a Restricted key to only give limited permissions. See our Stripe docs for more information.

What data do you collect?

We only collect data required to provide our service. This includes your email, your account ID, and your customer's email to uniquely identify them. We don't collect any other data.
