Credits, autopay, and subscriptions
Before verifying your lists in MailerCheck, your account needs to be filled with credits. For each email address you are verifying, your account will need equal amounts of credits. For example, if your list contains 1,000 email addresses, your account will need 1,000 credits before you can start the verification process.
We’ve made purchasing credits easy and offer multiple options to fit your needs. Choose from:
One-time purchase allows you to purchase just the amount of credits you need (minimum 1,000 credits)
Autopay allows you to turn your one-time purchase into a recurring purchase based on your usage
Monthly subscription allows you to set up a recurring monthly purchase

Autopay
Autopay allows you to set up a recurring payment based on the usage in your account. This is a great option for accounts using our API or Zapier to verify email lists and addresses.
When setting up autopay, you will be asked to define the number of credits to purchase when your account falls below a specified threshold.

The new text field is where you can set a credit limit that indicates when new credits should be added to your account.

Setting up Autopay payment
When you get to the Set up autopay page, MailerCheck will automatically determine if your current credit amount is below the limit you defined on the previous page. If the amount falls below that limit, you will need to purchase the autopay credits at that moment. This payment method is what will be charged when your account needs more credits.
If the amount is above your credit limit, you will not be charged today, but you will still need to add your credit card information to the system so we can automatically add the credits as needed.
