The Usage credits benefit lets you top up a customer’s meter balance.

Topping Up Usage Meter Balance

The Usage credits benefit adds units to a customer’s meter balance at different moments based on the kind of product they buy. Ruba benefit form configured for Usage credits in light mode Ruba benefit form configured for Usage credits in dark mode

Subscription Products

The customer receives the unit amount specified by the benefit at the start of every subscription cycle, monthly or yearly.

One-Time Products

The customer receives the unit amount specified by the benefit a single time at purchase.

Carrying Over Unused Credits

You can opt to carry unused credits forward into the following billing cycle. This means that when a customer doesn’t exhaust all of their credits within a billing cycle, the leftover credits roll into their balance for the next cycle. To turn on this behavior, tick the “Carry unused credits over” switch when creating or editing the Usage credits benefit.
Changing the rollover setting for a benefit only affects credits issued after the change. Credits already issued remain unaffected.
