Payment Methods

deAPI uses a prepaid credit balance. All API usage is charged against your credits, and you can top up your balance directly from the dashboard using Stripe.

Single payments (one-off top-ups)

On the Balance page you can make a one-off payment:

• Choose a top-up amount (e.g. $1, $10, $25, $50).

• Pay securely via Stripe (card and supported local methods).

• The selected amount is immediately converted into credits and added to your account balance.

Use this option if you prefer to control every top-up manually.

Automatic payments (auto top-ups)

You can also enable automatic top-ups to keep your projects running without interruption:

• Pick a recurring top-up amount (e.g. $10, $25, $50).

• When your balance drops below $2.00, deAPI will automatically:

  • charge the selected amount via Stripe, and

  • add the corresponding credits to your account.

• You can turn automatic top-ups on or off at any time from the Balance page.

This is recommended for production workloads where you don’t want jobs to fail due to insufficient credits.

Other payment options & B2B billing

At the moment, Stripe is the primary payment provider for deAPI.

For B2B customers, payment terms and billing methods (e.g. custom invoices, larger commitments) are discussed individually. If you are interested in a B2B agreement, please contact us at [email protected].
