Wallet top-ups allow you to add credits to customer wallets, ensuring continuous service availability. Flexprice supports two top-up methods: manual top-up for on-demand credit additions and automatic top-up for maintaining minimum balance thresholds.

Manual Top-Up

Manual top-ups provide flexibility to add credits on demand. You can issue free credits for promotions and compensations, or process purchased credits through standard payment methods.

Automatic Top-Up

Automatic top-up ensures uninterrupted service by automatically recharging wallets when they fall below a specified threshold. This eliminates manual monitoring and prevents service disruptions due to insufficient balance.

Credits Hold

Credits remain unavailable and are not added to the wallet balance. The wallet balance remains unchanged until payment is confirmed
5

Record Payment

Credits get available only after the payment is followed through. When the invoice payment status becomes Succeeded, the wallet balance gets topped-up.
