Automatic Top-Ups
Buy credits automatically when your wallet drops below a threshold, so credit-backed scans keep running.
Automatic top-ups let Aikido buy more credits when your wallet runs low. You set the balance that triggers a purchase, how many credits to add, and an optional monthly cap.
Automatic top-ups are not available by credit card. Aikido sends an invoice, and the credits are added after it is paid.
What you need
- Workspace admin access.
- At least one successful payment on the workspace, by card or by invoice. A manual credit purchase counts. That payment unlocks automatic top-ups. Later top-ups are still invoiced.
Turn it on
Open Wallet settings, click Manage next to Automatic Top-Ups, turn it on, and click Save.
| Setting | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Top-Up Trigger | Yes | Aikido creates an invoice when the wallet balance drops below this many credits. |
| Top-Up Amount | Yes | Credits added each time. Minimum 100. One credit is $1 USD. |
| Monthly Maximum | No | The most credits Aikido invoices automatically in one calendar month. Leave it empty for no cap. |
The top-up amount cannot be higher than the monthly maximum.
What happens when the wallet runs low
- Aikido checks workspaces that have automatic top-ups turned on.
- If the balance is below the trigger, Aikido creates an invoice for the top-up amount and emails it to workspace admins.
- The purchase shows in wallet history as Automatic Top-Up with status Awaiting Payment.
- After the invoice is paid, Aikido adds the credits and the transaction becomes Completed.
Aikido does not create another automatic top-up while an invoice is still unpaid. Pay or settle that invoice before the next one can be issued.
If the balance is still below the trigger after a top-up is paid, Aikido can invoice again, up to the monthly maximum. The monthly maximum resets at the start of each calendar month. It only counts automatic top-ups, not credits you buy yourself and not monthly complimentary credits.
Spending limits
The monthly maximum caps how many credits Aikido buys for you. Spending limits cap how many credits a feature can use. Set both if you want a ceiling on purchases and a ceiling on usage.
