Credits are the abstract unit of value inside Jaza. Customers purchase them with real money (Mobile Money or card, via Jaza) and spend them on features your app provides.

What credits are

  • Integer-only — whole numbers only; no fractional credits.
  • App-scoped — meaning comes from your bundles (how many credits a top-up buys) and features (how many credits an action costs) in the dashboard.
  • Held on a per-customer wallet in sandbox or live.

How credits map to money

Money enters when a customer tops up. Bundle pricing in the dashboard determines how many credits they receive. Jaza collects local currency via Mobile Money, credits the wallet, and settles to you — you do not run FX or aggregator ops yourself.

How credits map to features

After a customer has credits, your backend spends them with jaza.consume() and a featureCode configured under Features in the dashboard.

Lifecycle

  1. Purchase — user opens the React Native top-up sheet, picks a bundle, pays with MoMo.
  2. Credit — Jaza records a ledger credit and increases the wallet.
  3. Spend — your backend calls consume with featureCode + idempotencyKey.
  4. Audit — movements stay in the append-only ledger.
