Checkout, receipts and emails

WP Career Board overviewFree + ProGet WP Career Board →

You can add tax, collect billing details, offer coupons and give buyers numbered receipts for credit purchases. This page also lists the emails the credit system sends.

The billing, tax, receipt and coupon settings apply to purchases made through Stripe or PayPal. Purchases through WooCommerce, PMPro or MemberPress use that plugin’s own checkout, tax and invoices.

Checkout and receipts

Find these under Settings -> Credits -> Checkout & receipts.

Setting	What it does
Billing details	Name, email and country (default) or Full postal address (for invoices). Company and VAT / GST number are always optional.
Tax rate (%)	Added on top of the pack price at checkout. Default 0 (no tax).
Tax label	Shown on receipts, for example VAT or GST. Blank shows “Tax”.
Business name	Shown at the top of receipts. Blank uses the site name.
Business address	Shown on receipts.
Your VAT / GST number	Shown on receipts.
Receipt number prefix	Default `INV-`.

When a tax rate is set, the Buy panel tells the employer that prices exclude tax and that it is added at checkout.

Coupons

Find these under Settings -> Credits -> Coupons. Fill in a blank row to add a coupon. Clear a coupon’s code to delete it.

Column	Meaning
Code	What the employer types in the Coupon code field
Discount	Percent off or Amount off (in the pack currency)
Amount	The percent or the amount
Expires	Optional date
Usage limit	Optional cap on total uses
Used	How many times it has been used
Active	Turn a coupon off without deleting it

An invalid, expired or used-up code shows an error on the employer’s Buy panel and the checkout does not start.

Receipts

Every paid Stripe or PayPal checkout gets a numbered receipt with the amount charged, coupon, tax, the buyer’s billing details and your business details.

Employers find receipts on the Credits tab of their dashboard, under Receipts. View receipt opens a printable page that only the buyer and administrators can open.
Each purchase also emails a receipt (see below).
Developers can restyle the page with a theme template at wbcom-credits/wp-career-board/frontend/receipt.php.

Prices show with the right number of decimals for the pack currency (for example none for JPY).

Credits that expire {#credits-that-expire}

In the pack editor, Credits expire after (days) makes a pack’s credits expire that many days after purchase. Leave it blank for credits that never expire. When credits expire, an expiry row is written to the ledger and the Credits tab history shows Expired.

Emails {#emails}

Edit subjects and bodies under Settings -> Emails. Employers can turn off the optional ones under Email Notifications in their dashboard account settings.

Email	Sent to	When	Employer can turn off
Credit Purchase Receipt	Employer	A Stripe or PayPal purchase completes. Goes to the billing email if the buyer gave one.	No
Credit Top-Up Confirmation	Employer	Credits are added by a mapped product or membership. A Stripe or PayPal purchase sends the receipt instead.	No
Credit Refund	Employer	A held amount is returned because the job did not go live, or a payment is refunded and its credits are removed. Shows the new balance.	No
