Key Insights

Automatic Credit Cost Assignment

The AI in Emergent intelligently suggests different credit values based on the task's complexity: 1 credit for chat, 3 credits for logos, and 5 credits for website building.

The Benefits of One-Time Payments

For launch-style businesses (like starting a new venture), a one-time payment model for a set number of credits (e.g., 150 credits) is often more effective than monthly subscriptions.

Sandbox to Live Transition

Always test your Stripe flow in Sandbox mode first before switching to Live mode to ensure the checkout process is error-free.

Target: Emergent Chat Interface
Add a usage limit on the free version with an upgrade path to a paid version and then add Stripe integration so people can upgrade with a clear upgrade path or CTA when someone runs out of credit.
Step by Step

Configuring Credit Systems and Stripe Payments via AI

  1. Open the chat interface or editor within the Emergent platform.
  2. Enter a prompt to set usage limits for the free version.
  3. In the prompt, specify the need for a clear 'upgrade path' to a paid version.
  4. Instruct the AI to automatically integrate Stripe to handle user payments.
  5. Submit the prompt and let the AI automatically generate the system logic, Signup page, and Pricing section.
  6. Review the newly generated Signup page to ensure the user registration flow is ready.
  7. Perform a 'credit deduction' test by running a task (e.g., generating a logo) to verify that credits are correctly deducted from the user's balance.
  8. Click the Upgrade button to review the AI-generated Pricing Plan and FAQ section.
  9. Click the Buy Now button to confirm that the Stripe system is connected and transitioning from Sandbox mode to Live payments.
