# Fund your workspace

> Add credits to your workspace pool, earn volume bonuses, and turn on auto-recharge.

Your workspace pool is the prepaid balance your own calls draw from, and the source of any credits you allocate to customers. This page is for owners and admins who keep it funded.

> Agents: the exact contract for this feature is at [https://paywithlocus.com/agent/billing.md](https://paywithlocus.com/agent/billing.md). Start from [https://paywithlocus.com/agent/index.md](https://paywithlocus.com/agent/index.md) if you are implementing Locus.

## How it works

You pay once through Stripe Checkout, and the credits land in your pool. That first top-up also saves your card, so auto-recharge can refill the pool whenever it drops below a threshold you choose.

## Add credits

**1. Open Billing**

Sign in as an owner or admin and open **Billing → Credits**.

**2. Choose an amount**

Select **Add credits** and choose an amount. The minimum top-up is **\$5**.

**3. Pay**

Complete Stripe Checkout. When you return, the dashboard confirms the
top-up once the credits are in your balance.

Your server can also create a checkout link. A browser redirect alone doesn't confirm payment: wait until the credits appear in the balance or a top-up-completed webhook arrives.

## Volume bonuses

Eligible enterprise pool top-ups include promotional credits:

| Pool top-up | Bonus |
| -: | -: |
| \$500 | 5% |
| \$1,000 | 10% |
| \$5,000 | 15% |
| \$10,000 | 20% |

Personal and customer top-ups don't earn volume bonuses. A top-up quote shows the current total, including any bonus and processing fee.

## Card processing fees

Choose whether buyers pay the card processing fee or your workspace absorbs it. Show buyers the quote so they see the exact credits, fee, and total before they pay.

## Turn on auto-recharge

**1. Make one manual top-up**

This saves a reusable payment method. Auto-recharge charges the card from
your last top-up.

**2. Set the threshold and amount**

Under **Billing → Credits**, set the balance threshold and the refill
amount. Complete MFA or passkey verification when prompted.

If the saved card fails, the dashboard alerts you. Calls continue while enough credits remain.
