Summary
Overview: A pack is a set of prepaid outcomes. Packs cost less than the same number of overage outcomes. Buy packs by hand, or turn on Auto top-up so Pippify buys one pack for you when your plan volume and pack balance run out.
Prerequisites:
- You are the workspace Admin.
- Your workspace has an active paid plan. Packs aren't available during the free trial.
- A card is saved for your subscription.
- No cancellation is scheduled.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open the Packs card
- In the sidebar, click Settings, then Billing.
- With the Plan & usage chip selected at the top of the page, find Packs. It shows your prepaid outcome balance, the price per pack and how much a pack saves versus overage.
Step 2: Buy packs
- In Quantity, choose how many packs to buy (1 to 10).
- Click Buy [N] pack(s). The button shows the total price.
- If your bank asks you to confirm the payment, follow its prompt.
- A message confirms "Added [N] outcomes. Balance: [N]." If your bank confirmed the payment but the balance hasn't updated yet, you see "Your bank confirmed the payment; the balance updates within a minute."
Step 3: Turn on Auto top-up
- On the Packs card, turn on Auto top-up.
- A message confirms "Auto top-up is on."
- From now on, when your plan volume and your pack balance run out, Pippify buys one pack automatically and emails you a receipt.
- To stop it, turn Auto top-up off. A message confirms "Auto top-up is off."

Troubleshooting
Common errors
- "Add a card first (Payment method & invoices below).": no card is saved. Fix: click Payment method & invoices and add a card.
- "Packs can't be bought while your subscription is set to cancel. Undo the cancellation to buy more.": a cancellation is scheduled. If Auto top-up is on, it shows Paused for the same reason. Fix: click Undo cancellation.
- "Contact support to add outcomes.": your workspace is billed by invoice, so packs can't be bought by card. Fix: contact support.
- "Auto top-up was turned off: [reason]. Update your card and turn it on again.": an automatic pack charge was declined, so Pippify turned Auto top-up off. The bell also shows "Auto top-up is off: …". Fix: update your card, then turn Auto top-up on again.
- "Could not reach Stripe to confirm your card. Check your connection and try again.": your browser couldn't load the card confirmation. Fix: check your connection and try again.
- A card decline message from your bank: the purchase failed. Fix: use another card, or contact your bank.
Limitations & considerations
- Outcomes use your plan volume first, then your pack balance, then overage.
- Packs don't expire while you stay subscribed. Unused packs are forfeited when a cancellation takes effect.
- The Packs card doesn't show during the free trial or on a read-only workspace.
