You can also directly add them as benefits to a customer account. Printing credits are **unit-based** with **1 unit = 1 cent**. To figure out how much printing credit you should include as a benefit, you just need to multiply your price(s) per print (in cents) by the number of prints you want to let customers print using credits. *For example, if you charge a flat rate of $0.30 per print and you want your plans to include include 30 prints worth of printing credits, your printing credit amount should be 900.* If you want to offer a set amount of money for printing, simply multiply that amount by 100. *For example, if you want to include $10 worth of printing credit, you'll need to set your printing credit amount to 1000.* You need to enable one of our [printing integrations](/v3/docs/printing-services) before you can start using printing credits. ## Adding Printing Credits as Benefits Once you have your printing credit set up, you can add it as benefits to any plan or product in your inventory. You can also directly add it to any customer account. ### Plans Customers already signed up to plans won't receive the printing credits you add until their next invoice date.
