# Credit-based subscription

## Preliminary Remarks

With credit-based subscriptions, the customer can purchase so-called credits. A credit has a certain monetary value that can be used to purchase products, for example for reading individual articles or issues of periodicals, webinar series with a selection option and similar.

There are 3 different types of credit-based subscription.

1. Automatic top-up as soon as the credit is used up.
2. External credit top-up via API call.
3. Time-based top-up, where the credit is topped up at regular intervals.

- A [product contract](/frisbii-media/docs/produktvertrag-anlegen) must be created before the offer is created.
- A [wallet](/frisbii-media/docs/was-sind-wallets-und-wie-werden-sie-angelegt) must be added to all subscriptions. This can be created either before or during the offer creation process using the in-line element.

## Examples of credit-based subscriptions

### Automatic recharge

The customer has 5 credits. He uses these 5 credits within 5 days/5 months/5 years. As soon as they are used up, the customer receives 5 credits again.

### externally triggered recharge

The recharge of credits is triggered by an external event or a manual wallet action. The recharge is triggered by API call.

### time based recharge

The offer includes 5 credits. These are automatically topped up once a month. Credits that have not yet been used do not expire.

A customer buys the subscription on 01.05., which includes 5 credits every month. As of 01.06. the customer has only used 1 credit. On 01.06. 5 credits will be topped up again. The customer now has a total of 9 credits.
