Never Run Out of Signing Credits: How Autopurchase Works in Firma.dev

Pay-as-you-go pricing only works in production if your credits don't run out at 2am on a Tuesday. Firma.dev's Autopurchase feature solves that: your credit balance automatically recharges when it drops below a threshold you set, with no manual intervention required.

Why Manual Top-Ups Don't Scale

If you're running signing requests in production, a credit balance that drops overnight means failed requests and support tickets the next morning. Manual top-ups turn a billing operations problem into a reliability problem sitting in the middle of your product's critical path.

How Autopurchase Works

You configure two things in Account Settings: a threshold (the balance level that triggers a recharge) and a bundle size (the credit pack to purchase when it triggers). When your balance drops below the threshold, Firma.dev processes a purchase through Paddle and adds the credits instantly. Both values can be adjusted at any time as your volume changes.

There's no API configuration needed. It's a billing-layer feature that sits below your integration, so your signing requests just keep working.

Visibility and Control

Every auto-purchase is tagged as an auto-recharge in your credit transaction history, so there's a clear audit trail. You can pause, edit, or cancel Autopurchase at any time from Account Settings.

If a payment fails, Firma.dev retries once and then notifies your account admins before disabling the feature. You find out immediately rather than discovering it when signing requests start failing.

Pay-As-You-Go That Works in Production

Firma.dev charges $0.029 per envelope, with no monthly minimums and no subscription required. Autopurchase is the piece that makes that model production-ready: you pay for what you use, credits replenish automatically, and nobody needs to babysit the balance.
