Introducing Extra Credits: Design More, Whenever You Need
Never let your creative flow stop mid-session. Extra Credits let you purchase additional credits on demand, so you can keep designing without waiting for your monthly reset.
We've all been there — you're in a creative groove, iterating on the perfect design, and your monthly credits run out. Until now, the only option was to wait for the next billing cycle or upgrade your plan. Not anymore.
Introducing Extra Credits — a flexible way to purchase additional credits on demand, so your creativity never has to pause.
What Are Extra Credits?
Extra Credits are one-time credit purchases that sit alongside your regular subscription allocation. They give you a safety net for busy months, large projects, or those unexpected bursts of inspiration where you need to generate just a few more designs.
Unlike your monthly subscription credits, Extra Credits don't reset — they stay in your account until you use them or until they expire one year from the date of purchase.
How It Works
Purchasing Extra Credits is simple and takes just a few steps:
- Navigate to Billing: Head to your Dashboard and open the Billing page
- Enable Extra Credits: Toggle on the Extra Credits option in your billing settings
- Choose Your Amount: Pick from quick presets or enter a custom amount that fits your needs
- Complete Purchase: Checkout is handled securely through Stripe
- Start Designing: Credits are added to your account immediately and ready to use
Flexible Quantities
We've designed the purchasing experience to fit any need:
- Quick Presets: Choose from popular preset amounts for fast checkout
- Custom Amounts: Need a specific number? Enter a custom quantity to match your exact requirements
- No Commitments: Each purchase is one-time — no auto-renewal or recurring charges
Whether you need a small top-up to finish a project or a larger reserve for an upcoming collection, you're in control.
How Extra Credits Are Used
Your account intelligently manages both subscription and extra credits:
- Subscription credits are used first: Your monthly allocation is always consumed before any extra credits
- FIFO ordering: When extra credits are used, the oldest purchase is consumed first, ensuring nothing expires unnecessarily
- Same functionality: Extra credits work exactly the same as subscription credits — use them for any feature in Tashvi Design Studio, from image generation to video creation to lifestyle compositing
Key Details
Who Can Purchase?
Extra Credits are available to all users on a paid subscription plan. If you're on the Free tier, consider upgrading to a paid plan to unlock this feature.
Do They Expire?
Yes — Extra Credits are valid for one year from the date of purchase. This gives you plenty of time to use them at your own pace while keeping accounts tidy.
Do They Roll Over?
Extra Credits don't "roll over" in the traditional sense because they aren't tied to a billing cycle. Once purchased, they remain in your account until used or until the one-year expiry.
Can I See My Balance?
Absolutely. Your Dashboard shows both your monthly subscription credits and your extra credit balance, so you always know exactly where you stand.
When Extra Credits Make Sense
Busy Design Months
Some months are busier than others. Instead of upgrading your entire plan for a single busy period, top up with Extra Credits and stay on the plan that fits your typical usage.
Large Projects and Collections
Designing a full jewelry collection? A bridal set with matching pieces? Extra Credits let you power through large projects without worrying about running dry mid-way.
Client Presentations
When you need to generate multiple variations, angles, and lifestyle shots for a client pitch, Extra Credits ensure you can present a polished, comprehensive portfolio.
Seasonal Rushes
Holiday season, wedding season, or trade show prep — purchase Extra Credits ahead of peak periods so you're ready when demand spikes.
Low Credit Alerts
We've also added helpful notifications to keep you informed:
- Low Credit Banner: When you've used 80% of your monthly credits, a banner appears to let you know you're running low
- Upgrade Prompts: If you hit zero credits mid-session, you'll see options to purchase Extra Credits or upgrade your plan — so you're never left stranded without a path forward
