Credit Refresh Behavior

For subscription-type credits:

When Credits Refresh

Credits reset when membership renews Monthly memberships = monthly credit refresh Annual memberships = annual credit refresh

Unused Credits

By default, unused credits don’t roll over - they reset to the plan amount. This encourages consistent engagement.

What Happens When…

Member Upgrades

When a member upgrades to a higher tier:

New credit amount is assigned immediately Previous unused credits may be replaced or added (configurable)

Member Downgrades

When a member downgrades:

New credit limit applies Existing credits remain until used or refresh

Member Cancels

When a membership is cancelled:

Credits freeze at current balance No new credits are added Member can use remaining credits

Membership Expires

When membership expires without renewal:

Credits may be revoked (configurable) Or credits remain as lifetime credits

Combining with WooCommerce Credit Packs

You can use both systems together:

Membership provides base credits Members can buy additional packs if they need more Purchased credits add to membership credits

Example Hybrid Setup

Pro membership: 20 credits/month Heavy user needs more? Buy a 10-pack for $9.99 Total available: 30 credits that month

Tips for Site Owners

Generous free tier - Give enough credits to experience the platform Clear value progression - Higher tiers should feel worth the upgrade Consider unlimited - Top-tier members often prefer no limits Communicate clearly - Explain credit amounts on your pricing page
