Credit system is a system allowing people to purchase products or services on credit. We can use this credit system in our jobsite to enforce clients, especially employers, to purchase credits. No employer will be able to use specific services (such as job posting, resume search, and so on) until they pay for purchasing new credit. This means that we can limit services and charge clients for extra credits they want to purchase (for details, see Chapter 4).

We can manage credits from the Credit System section of Jobs! Pro control panel. There are two buttons in this section—List Credit History and List Pending Credits.

The List Credit History feature will help you to view or edit credits and also to add new credits. The List Pending Credits feature will help you to view pending credits, and you will be able to approve or reject any pending credits.
