Buying Credits, Step by Step

Quick answer: Click your credit balance at the top right, or Buy Credits, and the purchase window opens on the credits tab. Pick a pack — larger packs carry a bonus of up to 15% extra, and packs start from $1.49. The summary shows Package, Bonus, any Credit discount from a paid plan or a promo code, and Due today. Pay by Card or wallet or PayPal; the form opens in the same window. When the payment is received, the window says so, shows your new balance, and the credits are usable at once.

Open the window

The balance at the top right of every page is a button. Click it and the panel shows Available Credits, Frozen (credits held by tasks still running), Credit History and Buy Credits. The purchase window also opens by itself when a button you press costs more than you have — with a line at the top saying how many credits short you are. When a button is greyed out.

The SceneMixer episode editor: asset library on the left, the storyboard in the middle, the video preview on the right, and every segment along the bottom timeline — Credits sit at the top right of every page; the balance opens the purchase window.

Pick a pack

Packs are laid out as cards; the first is selected by default and one carries a Recommended tag. Each card shows the price, the credits, and the bonus on top. Bigger packs carry a bigger bonus, up to 15%. Every card has its own buy button, so choosing and buying is one click.

Read the summary

Package: the pack’s base credits. Bonus: the extra from the pack, and, if it applies, a First top-up bonus or a limited-time bonus with a countdown. Credit discount: the percentage off that a paid plan gives on packs. Promo discount: from a code typed into Promo code (optional). Due today: what you pay. You’ll receive: base plus every bonus. Discounts stack but are capped. What a paid plan changes.

Pay

Card or wallet: the card form loads inside the window; Apple Pay and Google Pay appear when your device supports them. PayPal: sign in and pay in the PayPal window — you stay on this site. Prices are billed in USD. If the form does not load, the window says so after a few seconds with a retry that reopens the same order. If the payment does not go through.

When the credits land

Card payments land the moment the bank confirms; the window shows Payment received, the credits added, any bonus included, and your new balance, with Start creating to go on. PayPal occasionally takes longer to clear; the window says so and the credits arrive automatically when it completes. Every top-up is a line in Credit History. Reading the history.

Unpaid orders

Close the window before paying and the order waits under Pending Orders on the credits page for a short while; reopening it resumes the same order at the same price rather than creating a new one. Unpaid orders expire on their own and never charge anything.
