Credits
One wallet per community, spent on three things: e-signature sends, custom domain registrations and renewals, and CivicPort Forms usage.
It is called Credits rather than Signatures for that reason. Naming it after one of the three reads as a different balance than the one being spent.
What is in the wallet
| Balance | What it is |
|---|---|
| Signature balance | Signatures bought outright, as a count |
| Credit | A dollar balance, spent by domains and forms, and by signature sends once the signature balance is empty |
The page shows both, the current price of a signature, and how many sends you have left across the two.
Buying
Buy signatures in a quantity through the checkout overlay, up to a per-checkout maximum. Purchases land on the wallet immediately.
Top up before you need it. A lease send that fails for an empty wallet fails at the moment you have a resident waiting.
Low balance
The wallet reports when it is low, which is the point to top up rather than the point at which anything stops.
Grants
A CivicPort platform admin can adjust a community's balance by hand, positively or negatively, with a recorded reason. Those adjustments show in the community's grant history alongside purchases, so the balance always has an explanation.
