What Is A Credit

A credit is the customer-facing unit WPFlow uses to estimate, approve, reserve, and settle scoped WordPress work. It is not a developer hour, token amount, or internal supplier-cost disclosure.

Short Explanation

A credit is WPFlow's customer-facing unit for scoped WordPress work, not an hour, token, or internal cost metric.

  • Architect scopes the request and shows an estimated credit cost before build work starts.
  • The approval cap is the maximum credit amount the customer has approved for that request unless a revised scope is approved.
  • PAYG credits are GBP 1 per credit in the current GBP price book, with a 5-credit checkout minimum.
  • Core and Pro bundle monthly credits at a lower effective rate for regular one-site work.
  • Automatic top-up can buy quantity-based PAYG credits inside the monthly budget cap the customer sets, but it never approves work or live publishing.

Example

A simple example or comparison usually makes the rule easier to understand.
