Dodo Payments Credit-Based Billing

Reference: docs.dodopayments.com/features/credit-based-billing

Grant customers a balance of credits (API calls, tokens, compute units, or any custom metric) and deduct from that balance as they consume your service.

Overview

Credit-based billing lets you:

• Issue credits with subscriptions, one-time purchases, or via API
• Deduct automatically via usage meters or manually via API
• Configure rollover to carry unused credits forward
• Handle overage when credits run out mid-cycle
• Set expiration rules per credit entitlement
• Track everything via a full audit ledger

Credits work across all product types: subscriptions, one-time purchases, and usage-based billing.
