TL;DR

A billing group has one subscription and one shared wallet of usage credits. Every business in the billing group draws from that allowance.

Credit usage remains associated with the business, user, feature, or action that consumed it, even though the remaining balance is managed across the billing group.

Billing groups are designed for agencies, multi-brand organizations, and other customers that manage multiple businesses under one subscription.

Instead of assigning a separate credit balance to every business, the billing group holds the plan, usage limits, and shared credit wallet. Businesses within the group can use eligible credit-based features, and their usage is deducted from the same balance.

This structure makes it possible to use the full credit allowance across the billing group, even when usage varies between businesses.

The billing group owns:

Each business attached to the billing group can consume credits from that wallet, subject to the group’s plan and permission rules.

When a business uses an eligible credit-based feature:

The balance is shared, but usage attribution remains available by business.

An agency has a billing group with:

During the month:

The billing group has 50,000 credits remaining.

The default model does not assign separate allowances to Business A and Business B. All 100,000 credits are available across the billing group.

If the billing group’s plan includes a recurring credit allowance, the shared wallet refreshes or resets according to that plan.

All businesses in the group consume from the renewed allowance together. Usage limits, credit exhaustion, and any applicable overages are handled at the billing-group level rather than separately for each business.

A business that joins a billing group receives access to the group’s shared wallet, subject to the plan and applicable permissions.

If a business leaves the billing group, it no longer draws from that group’s wallet. The business will need its own subscription and credit wallet to continue using credit-based features.

Credit usage is rarely distributed evenly across every business. One business may have heavier usage during one month, while another may use fewer credits.

A shared wallet allows agencies and multi-brand customers to direct the billing group’s allowance toward the businesses that need it. This removes the need to maintain a separate credit balance for every business and helps the group use its full entitlement.
