This article shows you what takes credits off your balance, and the places the dashboard tells you about it before and after it happens.
Read it once and no AI charge will come as a surprise.
Every AI button in the dashboard carries a small badge with its cost in credits, right next to its label. Opening a screen spends nothing. Credits are only taken when you press the button.
If an AI action is not part of your plan, a small lock shows where the cost would be.
Step 2. Top up when you run out
If you see You're out of AI credits. Top up to continue., open Build with AI from the side menu and buy a pack on the Top up credits tab. Then press the AI button again.
If you see a message that ends with Your credits have been refunded., the action did not finish and nothing was spent. Try again in a moment.
Step 3. Rate what came back
When AI Generate in the product form writes a description, a thumbs up and a thumbs down sit beside the result. Press one to send your rating.
Rating costs nothing. It helps make these features better for your store.
The AI Credits button in the top bar shows how many credits you have left, on any page. Press it to see what is remaining, your Plan grant, and the date under Cycle resets.
The same menu opens each tab of Build with AI: Create, Usage, Top up credits, Transaction history and Settings.
Step 5. Act on the low balance row
When your balance runs low, the floating Needs your attention card shows a row that reads Low AI credit balance with the number of credits left, and a Top Up button.
At zero the row turns red and reads No AI credits remaining. The row stays until you top up, and it never shows on an unlimited plan. You can fold the card into a small pill if it is in your way.
Result
You see the cost before you press, you know what to do when you run out, and you are warned well before your balance reaches zero. Every charge also shows as a row on the Transactions tab of the Build with AI page.
