# Buying Credits

Credits can be used for eligible Gessa usage and are tracked in the local
credit ledger.

## Top-Ups

Billing settings show available credit top-up packs when Stripe checkout is
configured. Top-up purchases grant credits after Stripe confirms payment.

## Auto-Refill

Auto-refill settings are organization-scoped. A workspace owner can configure a
threshold and top-up pack so the organization replenishes credits when balance
falls below the threshold.

## Credit History

The credit balance view shows:

- current balance
- grants and purchases
- consumption
- reservations
- refunds

Refunds and credit notes must be reflected both locally and through Stripe when
money movement is involved.
