AI credits

Every AI action — writing a product title from a photo, drafting a full PASTOR funnel, generating an abandoned-cart email — costs credits. 1 credit = 1 cent. You get $10 = 1,000 credits when you sign up.

Price list

| Action | Credits | What it does | |--------|--------:|--------------| | Product title from photo | 5 | Haiku Vision reads one photo and suggests a title | | Rewrite existing title | 2 | Faster, punchier text | | Product description + photo | 25 | Sonnet Vision writes a 3-paragraph story from the photo + your brand voice | | Description without a photo | 10 | Text-only, cheaper | | Brand voice profile | 100 | Run once — answers 5 questions and stores your voice for future drafts | | SEO title + meta | 8 | Haiku generates search-friendly metadata | | Full PASTOR funnel draft | 150 | Sonnet drafts Problem → Amplify → Story → Transformation → Offer → Risk section | | Abandoned cart email | 12 | Haiku drafts one recovery email in your brand voice |

Platform admins can update this table without a code deploy if Anthropic's pricing shifts.

The $10 bonus math

Starting with 1,000 credits, you can:

• Write 33 products with title + description + photo (5 + 25 = 30 credits each) → 33 × 30 = 990.
• Generate a brand voice profile (100) + 9 PASTOR funnel drafts (150 each).
• Run 125 SEO passes (8 each).

Free Porch vendors get the same $10 and can spend it on anything.

Tiers and refills

| Tier | Signup bonus | Buy refills? | Monthly bonus | |------|-------------:|:-------------|:--------------| | Free Porch | $10 | No — upgrade to buy more | — | | The Shop | $10 | Yes | — | | The Anchor | $10 | Yes | +1,000 / month |

Shop+ vendors can buy:

• 1,000 credits ($10) — same rate as your signup bonus

Refills never expire.

Safety nets

• Refund on failure. If an AI call crashes, your credits are returned in the same transaction.
• Replay safety. If your phone's connection hiccups and you retry, the system recognizes the idempotency key and doesn't double-bill.
• No negative balance. If an operation would take you below zero, it's blocked with a friendly message.

Where you see your balance

Top-right of every admin page shows a ✨ chip with your current count. Under 100 credits you'll see a yellow warning inline on /admin/credits with a one-click refill (Shop+) or upgrade (Free Porch) link.
