Award app credits

The amount of app credits that you give to a merchant is based on your revenue share, and is withdrawn from your Partner account.

To use the Partner API, you'll need to implement triggers for the charge, such as when a merchant installs an app, upgrades their service plan, or makes an individual purchase.

To award store credits for your app, you can use the Partner API's appCreditCreate mutation.

1. Log in to your Partner Dashboard.
2. In the search bar of the Partner Dashboard, enter the name of the store that you want to award app credits to.
3. In the search results, select the store.
4. On the right side of the store page, next to the App credits card, click Send.
5. On the App credits page, select the associated app name.
6. Specify the currency and amount to credit.
7. Optional: Add a note with the reason for awarding credits.
8. Click Send.

If the app credit was successfully awarded, a new event displays on the store's page in your Partner Dashboard, and the merchant receiving the app credit can view the sent amount in the Billing section of their Shopify admin.

Owners can issue app credits by default. Staff members can issue app credits if they have the Manage credits and refunds permission.

The total amount of credits can't exceed the total amount of pending payouts in your Partner account.
