One-time Purchase Flow

Subscription Flow

Credit System

Nexty's credit system provides the following out-of-the-box features:

• One-time Credits: Permanently valid after purchase, supports cumulative calculation
• Subscription Credits: Reset each billing cycle, allocated monthly/yearly, yearly subscription credits can be distributed/reset monthly
• Deduction Strategy: Prioritizes subscription credits, deducts one-time credits when subscription credits are insufficient
• Balance Management: Real-time balance inquiry and updates
• Credit History: Users can view their credit transaction history

For simple SaaS products, you can directly use the built-in logic. If you need a more complex credit system and processing logic, you can freely extend through the benefits_jsonb field and develop corresponding logic according to subsequent tutorials.
