# Printing credit

> Create printing credit and give customers a printing balance through plans and products, for use with your print management integration.

## Overview

**Printing credit** is a balance customers use to pay for printing. It works with a print management integration such as [PaperCut](/integrations/printing/papercut) or Ezeep: when a customer prints, the cost is taken from their Nexudus printing credit.

As with time credit, you create a printing credit once, then include it in your plans and products.

## How to access

Navigate to **Inventory → Resources** and select **Printing credits**.

## Creating a printing credit

Click **Add printing credit** and fill in:

| Field | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Credit name** | The name customers see on their benefits, for example *Printing credit*. |
| **This credit can be used to book following resource types** | Required. Choose at least one resource type. |
| **Price rate** | How much one credit is worth in your currency. Printing costs are divided by this rate to work out how many credits to take. With PaperCut or Ezeep, this is normally **1**. |

Below these, set the credit's tax rate and financial account, as for [products](/platform/billing/products#financial-details).

## Giving printing credit to customers

* **In a plan** — open the plan's **Benefits → Printing credit** tab, click **Add printing credit**, and choose the credit, the **Credit amount**, and when it expires and is replaced: **Every week**, **Every calendar month**, **Every time the contract is invoiced**, or **Every year**.
* **In a product** — open the product's **Benefits → Printing credit** tab and add the credit and amount, then whether **This credit never expires.** or **This credit expires after:** a set period. Customers get it when they buy the product, for example a *Printing Credits (500 pages)* bundle.
* **Directly** — add it from the customer's **Benefits → Printing credit** tab. Credit added this way is free and doesn't renew, so keep it for exceptions. See [Credits](/platform/billing/credits#giving-credit-to-customers).
