Credits, history, and payment (Stripe)
Credits mainly fund AI scan analysis. Purchases go through Stripe Checkout (hosted payment page).
How do I buy credits?
From the credits section:
- Choose a pack that fits your needs.
- Confirm: you are redirected to Stripe to enter card details.
- After a successful payment, return to the app; balance updates when the server confirms.
How many credits at signup? What are the paid packs?
On signup: 5 free credits to try in-app scans.
Store review reward: up to 5 more credits after the team validates your review.
Paid packs (Stripe): 20 credits for €10 (list €15) and 60 credits for €25 (list €45), app launch promotion.
Can I cancel a payment?
If you close or cancel on Stripe, no charge is made for that attempt.
You return to the app without crediting the account.
Are credit packs a subscription?
No. Credit packs are one-time purchases: you pay once per pack and tokens are added to your balance.
What is the MCP subscription?
Separately from credits, VinoCellar offers an optional MCP subscription at €3.99/month (no commitment, cancel anytime). For the app launch, checkout runs at the promotional €2.99/month. It unlocks unlimited use of the MCP server so AI assistants (Claude today; ChatGPT and Gemini planned) can query and update your cellar without consuming scan credits.
Subscribe from the app when available in your account flow; see the “MCP server” FAQ topic for setup and benefits.
Where is credit history?
The same section lists movements on your balance.
- Purchases packs paid via Stripe.
- Bonuses or possible adjustments per service rules.
What is the “review” reward?
A flow lets you request credits in exchange for a user review.
- Validation the request may stay pending until manually handled by the team.
- Rules shown in the app when you submit.
Where are legal terms for payments explained?
Terms and privacy policy describe the framework (data, service).
For a specific contract question, combine those documents and support.
