ACE ZERO TRADING credit pricing FAQ
How ACE ZERO TRADING credits work for AI image generation, free copy generation, admin accounts, Stripe checkout, refunds, and failed payments.
Credits are tied to expensive generation work
The current product charges credits for generated images because image generation is the main variable AI cost. Copy generation stays free in the MVP so users can polish listings before spending more.
Stripe is the source of truth for purchases
The app starts a Stripe Checkout Session, then adds credits only after receiving a verified checkout.session.completed webhook. This avoids adding credits from canceled or spoofed checkout returns.
Support rules should be explicit
Before public launch, document refund boundaries, credit expiration, failed payment behavior, receipts, tax treatment, and admin/test account rules so users know what to expect.
Practical checklist
- Use live Stripe keys only after sandbox testing.
- Create one live webhook endpoint for /api/stripe/webhook.
- Listen only to checkout.session.completed for the current MVP credit flow.
- Document refund and expiration rules before public launch.
- Keep usage and credit ledger exports available for support.
FAQ
What costs credits?
Image generation costs 1 credit per generated image in the current MVP. Failed image jobs refund reserved credits automatically.
Do credits expire?
Credits do not expire in the current MVP. If subscriptions or promotional credits are added later, expiration rules should be clearly shown before purchase.
Are credit purchases refundable?
Credit purchases should normally be final once delivered, except where required by law or an explicit support policy.
