# 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
