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
- Click your name or profile picture at the top right of the dashboard.
- Click Billing.
- 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:
- Monthly AI Credits, with your plan, the credits left this month (for example 80/100 Credits available), and the date they refresh (Refreshes on)
- Total AI Credits Balance: your monthly credits plus any credits you bought. Hover over the number to see Monthly AI Credits and Topped-up Credits separately.
- a bar showing how much of your balance is left
- By using AI, you have achieved: the hours AI has saved you
Step 3: Choose how much to buy
- Click Top Up.
- In the Top Up Your AI Credits window, enter a whole dollar amount from $10 to $1,000. Every $1 buys 50 credits.
- Click Confirm.
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
- 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.
- (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.
- 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.
- Tick the box that starts with I understand that this is a non-refundable purchase.
- Click Pay Now. Your card is charged straight away. If your bank asks you to verify the payment, follow its prompts.

Troubleshooting
Common errors
- "Please complete all the required fields.": 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.": 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 credits are used first. Credits you buy are used after your monthly credits run out.
- Monthly AI Credits refresh to your plan's amount on the date shown under Refreshes 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).
- AI Credits are always paid by card, in US dollars, for stores in every country.
