# A Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Wallet Credits and Enabling Auto-Topup

A Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Wallet Credits and Enabling Auto-Topup

InboxKit allows you to fund your wallet using **one-time credit purchases** or by enabling **automatic top-ups**. Credits are used for domain purchases, mailbox renewals, pre-warmed resources, inbox placement tests, and other add-ons.

You can add credits from two places:

-   **Settings → Billing → Add Credits**
    
-   **Dashboard (top-right corner) → Add Credits**

## **1\. Adding One-Time Credits**

1.  Go to **Settings → Billing → Add Credits**  
    _OR_ click **Add Credits** from the top-right corner.
    
2.  Select **One-time Purchase**.
    
3.  Enter the number of credits you want to buy (1 credit = 1 USD).
    
4.  Click **Proceed to Checkout**.
    
5.  Complete the Stripe payment:
    
    -   Enter your **card details**.
        
    -   Enter your **billing address**.
        
6.  Once payment is successful, the credits are immediately added to your wallet.
    

**Note:**  
If it's your first time adding credits, Stripe will require full card + address details.  
From the next time onward, payment is one click because your card is already saved.

## **2\. Enabling Auto Top-Up (Recommended)**

Auto Top-Up ensures you never run out of credits for renewals.

1.  Open **Add Credits**.
    
2.  Switch to the **Auto Top-up** tab.
    
3.  Enable the Auto Top-up toggle.
    
4.  Set:
    
    -   **Trigger Balance** → the credit level at which the auto top-up should activate.  
        Example: Trigger when wallet goes below **100 credits**.
        
    -   **Amount to Add** → how many credits to add automatically.  
        Example: Add **150 credits** when triggered.
        
5.  Save the configuration.
    

### **Important Requirement**

Before enabling Auto Top-up for the first time:

-   You **must** have a **default card** saved in the **Stripe Billing Portal**.  
    (Settings → Billing → _Open Stripe Billing Portal_)
    

Once enabled, InboxKit will automatically charge your card and add credits whenever your wallet balance drops below the trigger level.

## **Where to View Payments & Billing**

-   **Wallet Logs** → Shows all credit purchases, deductions, and auto top-ups.
    
-   **Settings → Billing** → Shows wallet balance, subscription status, and the Stripe Billing Portal link.
    
-   **Stripe Billing Portal** → View invoices, update payment methods, download receipts.
