# Enabling Credit Based Benefits

Inveterate credits work by leveraging Shopify discount codes.

Every time a member redeems credits through their dashboard, Inveterate will create a one-time use coupon code for the dollar value of those credits in Shopify. These codes can only be used by the redeeming member.

Users are able to redeem additional credits on top of any that have already been redeemed. In this scenario, Inveterate will delete the existing code, and create a new one for the new balance.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This toggle enables credits for your members.  It must be enabled for your customers to collect and redeem credits.
{% endhint %}

Navigate to Settings > Benefits in Inveterate to find the 'Enable Credits' toggle

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.inveterate.com/help-center/guides/program-setup/benefits/credit-based-benefits/enabling-credit-based-benefits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
