For AI and service platforms
Built for stores selling usage, generated media, downloadable outputs, rewards, or prepaid services.
Replaces brittle balance code
Reduces one-off order hooks, invisible usage logs, drifting balances, and support guesswork.
Connects WooCommerce, ledgers, accounts, and payouts
Uses products, orders, My Account, admin tools, rich metadata, reservations, and cashout-oriented flows.
Delivers explainable credit movement
Every purchase, usage, refund, failure, adjustment, reward, hold, and release can carry history.
FROM FRICTION TO FLOW
How Athenian Credits Manager changes the connected workflow.
Athenian Credits Manager reduces isolated handoffs by keeping its Payouts, Ledger & Settlement and Store Credit, Gift Cards & Rewards role connected to the wider WordPress and WooCommerce operating model.
CURRENT WORKFLOW
Before credit manager
-> Credits are stored as a simple user meta number.
-> Failed AI requests have no clear transaction history.
-> Refunds, reversals, and support adjustments drift from orders.
-> Customers cannot inspect how credits were earned or spent.
CONNECTED WORKFLOW
After credit manager
-> Credit packs award balances through WooCommerce order state.
-> Ledger events preserve purchase, usage, failure, and metadata context.
-> Admins can reconcile, adjust, reserve, transfer, and review balances.
-> Customers can see live balances and transaction history.
FEATURE MODULES
Six capabilities that make credits operationally trustworthy.
The local docs frame CPM as a commerce and ledger layer for AI usage, service workflows, rewards, and cashout-ready activity.
Credit-pack products
Products and variations can grant credits per unit when orders reach qualifying processing or completed states.
Authoritative ledger
Records balance changes and zero-delta events with transaction types, statuses, idempotency keys, object references, and creator data.
Rich usage metadata
Usage events can store prompts, providers, models, files, media URLs, request IDs, failures, and structured payloads.
Refund and reversal handling
Order refunds and cancellations can reverse awarded credits so balances stay aligned with commerce state.
Reservation and cashout flows
Supports holding, releasing, transferring, and cashout-ready operations with minimums and fee percentages.
Customer and admin surfaces
Adds My Account credit dashboards, shortcode buyboxes, admin reconciliation, user profile history, and manual adjustments.
