What Are Credits?
Credits are the unit StoreClaw uses to measure usage. Most task-generation actions you start in StoreClaw consume credits, such as product description generation, listing optimization, and competitor analysis.
Before going into the detailed rules, it helps to keep the following in mind:
- Credits are not cash: Credits cannot be converted into cash refunds, transferred between accounts, or used outside the StoreClaw platform.
- Different credit types follow different rules: Credit types differ in refresh behavior, validity period, and issuance mechanism.
- Credit consumption for the same kind of task is not fixed: Credit usage varies with output complexity, so we do not publish a fixed price list in advance (see How Credits Are Consumed).
- You do not need to choose which credit type to spend: StoreClaw deducts credits automatically based on a defined priority order to reduce the chance of near-expiration credits going unused.
Four Credit Types
| Type | Source | Refresh Method | Accumulates? | Consumption Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily refresh credits | Automatically granted within the plan | Refresh to the daily allowance at 00:00 UTC each day | No — unused credits expire at the end of the day | 1 (consumed first) |
| Monthly credits | Automatically granted within the plan | Refresh at the start of each billing cycle | No — unused credits expire at the end of the cycle | 2 |
| Event credits | Platform promotions, referral rewards, etc. | Issued by batch | Each batch has its own validity period; some batches (e.g., referral rewards) are permanent | 3 |
| Free credits | Granted by the StoreClaw platform | One-time grant | Yes — permanently valid | 4 (consumed last) |
Daily Refresh Credits
Daily refresh credits are the plan's day-to-day allowance. They automatically reset to the amount defined by your plan every day and are intended to support steady daily usage.
Daily refresh credits do not roll over to the next day. Any unused amount expires at the end of the day, which is why StoreClaw gives these credits a relatively high spending priority.
Monthly Credits
Monthly credits are the larger allowance within the plan. They are granted in one batch at the start of each billing cycle and are suitable for heavier usage scenarios such as batch tasks, campaigns, or especially busy periods.
Monthly credits do not roll over to the next billing cycle. Any unused amount expires when the current cycle ends.
Event Credits
Event credits come from several sources, such as user referrals, and platform promotional campaigns. Each batch of event credits follows its own issuance rules. Promotional campaigns usually have an expiration date, while referral rewards are generally permanently valid.
If you hold multiple batches of event credits at the same time, StoreClaw prioritizes the batch that expires the soonest to reduce the chance of credits expiring unused.
Free Credits
Free credits are credits granted directly to your account by StoreClaw, such as new-user sign-up benefits. They are not tied to a subscription plan or event batch, remain permanently valid, and do not expire because of cancellation or billing-cycle changes.
How Credits Are Consumed
Task-generation actions started in StoreClaw generally consume credits, including AI-powered tasks such as content generation, listing optimization, competitor analysis, and campaign copy generation.
The number of credits consumed by a single task is not fixed. It varies based on output complexity, such as content length or the number of items being analyzed. For that reason, we do not publish a fixed per-task price list in advance.
After each task is completed, you can review the exact deduction in Settings -> Usage under Usage Record.
View Balance and Usage History
To view your current balance and historical usage:
- Sign in to StoreClaw.
- Click your avatar in the lower-left corner.
- Select Settings -> Usage.
On the Usage page, you can view:
- Current subscription plan: Including the next renewal date and monthly fee
- Credit balance: Shown by credit type
- Daily refresh credits: Displayed separately, together with the next refresh time and refreshed allowance
- Usage record: A reverse-chronological list of every credit change, including both deductions and additions, with the action, time, and amount
Usage history export is not currently supported.
What Happens If You Run Out of Credits?
When all four credit types reach zero, you cannot start new tasks that require credits until credits are refreshed or replenished.
There are two ways to restore available credits:
- Wait for the next refresh: Daily credits refresh at 00:00 UTC on the following day, and monthly credits are granted at the start of the next billing cycle.
- Upgrade your plan: Higher-tier plans provide larger daily and monthly credit allowances. See Subscription Management for details.
FAQ
Q: Do daily refresh credits roll over to the next day?
A: No. Daily credits reset to your plan allowance at 00:00 UTC each day, and any unused amount expires at the end of that day.
Q: Do monthly credits roll over to the next billing cycle?
A: No. Monthly credits are valid only within the current billing cycle. Any unused amount expires when the cycle ends.
Q: In what order are my credits consumed?
A: StoreClaw consumes credits in the following order:
- Daily refresh credits — Prioritized for consumption. Unused quota expires daily
- Monthly credits — the standard allowance included in your plan
- Event credits — Issued from referral and promotional activities, subject to respective validity periods
- Free credits — Permanent validity, consumed last
You cannot manually choose which credit type to spend in a single action. StoreClaw handles the deduction automatically.
Q: What happens to my credits after I cancel or downgrade my plan?
A: Daily credits and monthly credits stop refreshing after the current billing cycle ends, though credits already granted during the current cycle remain available until the end of that cycle. Event credits and free credits remain available according to their own rules — free credits remain permanently valid, while event credits remain subject to the validity period of each batch.
For more details about cancellation and downgrades, see Subscription Management.
Q: Why did this task consume more credits than I expected?
A: StoreClaw does not publish a fixed per-task price list because credit usage varies with the complexity of the AI output. For example, longer output or analysis across more items typically consumes more credits.
To review the specific deduction, go to Settings -> Usage -> Usage History and locate the corresponding record.
Q: Can I export my usage history?
A: Not at the moment. Credit change details can currently be viewed only online through the Usage page.
Q: Can credits be transferred to another account?
A: No. Credits are bound to the account that received them and cannot be transferred or gifted.
什么是积分？
积分是 StoreClaw 衡量用量的单位。您在 StoreClaw 上发起的大多数任务生成都会消耗积分，例如商品描述生成、listing 优化、竞品分析等。
在具体了解积分规则前，建议先了解以下几点：
- 积分不是现金：积分不能折算为现金退款，不能在账户之间转移，且仅可在 StoreClaw 平台内使用。
- 不同类型的积分规则不同：不同类型的积分在刷新方式、有效期和发放机制上各不相同。
- 同一类任务的积分消耗并非固定：积分消耗会随着输出内容的复杂度变化，因此我们不预先公布固定单价（详见 积分如何被消耗）。
- 您无需手动选择消耗哪类积分：StoreClaw 会按既定优先级自动扣减，以尽量避免临近到期的积分失效。
四类积分
| 类型 | 来源 | 刷新方式 | 是否累积 | 消耗顺序 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 每日刷新积分 | 套餐内自动发放 | 每天 00:00 UTC 刷新到当日额度 | 否——当天未用完即失效 | 1（最先消耗） |
| 月积分 | 套餐内自动发放 | 每个计费周期开始时刷新 | 否——周期末未用完即失效 | 2 |
| 活动积分 | 平台促销、推荐奖励等 | 按批次发放 | 每批积分有自己的有效期；部分批次（如推荐奖励）永久有效 | 3 |
| 免费积分 | StoreClaw 平台发放 | 一次性发放 | 永久有效 | 4（最后消耗） |
每日刷新积分
每日刷新积分是套餐中的“日常额度”，每天都会自动重置到套餐规定的数额，主要用于支持您日常稳定的使用。
每日刷新积分不会累积到第二天。当天没用完的部分会作废，因此 StoreClaw 会优先在较前顺位消耗这类积分。
月积分
月积分是套餐中更大的一笔额度，会在每个计费周期开始时一次性发放，适合应对使用量较大的场景，例如批量任务、运营活动或某几个特别忙碌的阶段。
月积分不会累积到下个计费周期。当前周期内没用完的部分会在周期结束时作废。
活动积分
活动积分来自多种渠道，例如推荐其他用户、参与平台促销活动等。每一批活动积分都有各自的发放规则——促销活动通常会设置有效期，推荐奖励则一般永久有效。
如果您同时持有多批活动积分，StoreClaw 会优先消耗最快到期的那批，避免积分白白过期。
免费积分
免费积分是 StoreClaw 单独发放到您账户中的积分，如注册福利，与套餐和活动批次无关，永久有效，不会随订阅取消或周期切换而失效。
积分如何被消耗
在 StoreClaw 上发起的任务生成通常都会消耗积分，例如内容生成、商品 listing 优化、竞品分析、活动文案等 AI 生成任务。
单次任务消耗多少积分并不固定，会随着输出内容的复杂度变化而变化，例如生成内容的长度、分析对象的数量等。基于这个原因，我们不预先公布固定的任务单价表。
每次任务完成后，您都可以在 用量 页面的 使用记录 中查看这次任务具体扣除了多少积分。

积分用完了怎么办？
当四类积分全部为零时，您将无法再发起需要消耗积分的新任务，直到积分刷新或补充后才能继续。
补充积分的两种方式：
- 等待下次刷新。每日积分会在次日 00:00 UTC 刷新，月积分会在下个计费周期开始时发放。
- 升级套餐。更高档位的套餐每天和每月发放更多积分，具体见 订阅管理。
常见问题
Q：每日刷新积分会累积到第二天吗？
A： 不会。每日积分每天 00:00 UTC 重置为套餐规定的额度，没用完的会作废——这也是 StoreClaw 第二顺位就消耗它的原因。
Q：月积分会累积到下个计费周期吗？
A： 不会。月积分在每个计费周期内有效，当前周期内没用完的部分会在周期结束时作废。
Q：我的几类积分按什么顺序被消耗？
A： StoreClaw 按这个固定顺序消耗您的积分：
- 每日刷新积分（Daily refresh credits） —— 优先消耗，当日未使用额度将当日清零
- 月积分（Monthly credits） —— 套餐内的常规月度额度
- 活动积分（Event credits） —— 邀请、运营活动发放积分，受对应活动有效期限制
- 免费积分（Free credits） —— 永久有效，最后消耗
您不能在单次操作里指定用哪种积分，StoreClaw 会自动处理。
Q：取消或降级套餐后，我的积分会怎么处理？
A： 每日积分和月积分会在当前计费周期结束后停止刷新（当前周期内已经发放的部分仍可正常使用至周期末）。已经持有的活动积分和免费积分按各自的规则保留——免费积分永久有效，活动积分按批次的有效期保留。
更多关于取消和降级的说明，请见 订阅管理。
Q：为什么这次任务扣的积分比我预期的多？
A： StoreClaw 不预先公布固定的任务单价，因为同一类任务的积分消耗会随着 AI 输出内容的复杂度变化而变化——例如生成的文案越长、分析的对象越多，消耗的积分通常也会越多。
要查看具体扣分明细，进入 设置 → 用量 → 使用记录，找到对应条目即可。
Q：我可以导出使用记录吗？
A： 目前不支持导出。所有积分变动明细只能在 用量 页面在线查看。
Q：积分能转给其他账户吗？
A： 不能。积分绑定在发放时的账户上，不支持转账或赠送。
