# Top up the credit balance

Buy a credit pack to top up your balance via Stripe.

## Step 1 — Open the Buy Credits page

In the sidebar. Open **Buy Credits**.

## Step 2 — Choose a credit pack

On the **Buy Credits** page. Choose a credit pack and click its <img src="https://2262431129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlnHu06wl3NH457iwjBmr%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-fe92144e04ad40bd4c32688346f620df991e0d66%2Fbtn-buy-credits.svg?alt=media" alt="Buy Credits" data-size="line"> button.

## Step 3 — Buy a specific amount instead (optional)

In the **Custom Credit Purchase** section of the **Buy Credits** page. To buy a specific amount rather than a pack:

* Enter a whole number of credits (from 1 to 10,000) in the **Number of credits** field.
* An **Estimated cost** in Singapore dollars (SGD $0.80 per credit) appears once the amount is valid, and the <img src="https://2262431129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlnHu06wl3NH457iwjBmr%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c1ea4f34a780e1c22b6b4949f9271560fd9c6858%2Fbtn-buy-custom-credits.svg?alt=media" alt="Buy Custom Credits" data-size="line"> button stays inactive until then.
* You can optionally add a note in the **Customer Note** field before buying.

## Step 4 — Complete the payment

In Stripe Checkout. Complete payment. When you finish — or if you cancel — BriefTech returns you to the **Usage/Billing** page. Credits from a successful payment are added automatically; open the **Purchase History** tab there to confirm the purchase and its status.

## Other ways to start a top-up

You can also reach this top-up flow two other ways:

* On the **Usage/Billing** page, click **Buy credits** in the credit-balance panel.
* When something you're doing needs more credits than you have, you can also start from an **Insufficient Credits** prompt: for most actions it offers a **Buy Credits** button that opens the **Usage/Billing** page.

Your credits are now on your balance, and the purchase is recorded in the **Purchase History** tab on the **Usage/Billing** page.

See [Credit costs and pricing](/reference/credit-costs-and-pricing.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brieftech.ai/how-to-guides/manage/top-up-credit-balance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
