Credits & Boosts
Understand how credits work for publishing, multi-channel syndication, and boosting your listings for maximum buyer exposure.
What Are Credits?
Credits are ListMint's pay-as-you-go currency for creating, syndicating, and boosting listings. Unlike other platforms that charge monthly subscriptions or listing store fees, ListMint uses a transparent pay-as-you-go model — you only spend credits when you publish, syndicate to connected external stores, or boost a listing.
- Credits are purchased securely through Stripe.
- Credits never expire — they remain in your seller wallet until you use them.
- Zero monthly subscriptions, hidden listing fees, or recurring charges.
How to Purchase Credits
1
Visit the Credits page — navigate from your sidebar or go directly to /credits.
2
Choose a credit package — choose between Starter, Popular, or Pro packages. Larger packages offer lower per-credit costs.
3
Complete payment — processed securely with Stripe. We accept all major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. ListMint never stores your raw card details.
4
Credits added instantly — your credit balance updates immediately with zero waiting.
How Credits Are Used
Credits are spent on three core seller actions:
📝 Creating a Listing
Costs 1 credit per listing published on ListMint.
Direct Cross-Posting
Costs 1 credit per connected platform (eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, BidBolt) for automated API syndication.
Boosting a Listing
Variable credits depending on boost duration (24h, 72h, or 7-day front-page placement).
Credit Protection Guarantee: If an automated external cross-post API push fails, your spent credit is automatically and instantly refunded back to your account balance. Manual 1-click launchpad cross-posting (Poshmark, Mercari, Depop CSV, Facebook Marketplace, etc.) is always Free (0 credits).
Boosting Your Listings
Boosting gives your listing priority placement in the home feed and search results, dramatically increasing visibility to potential buyers.
- 24-hour boost — ideal for time-sensitive items or testing demand.
- 72-hour boost — great for moderate-value items over the weekend.
- 7-day boost — best for high-value items that need sustained multi-day visibility.
To boost a listing, open the listing detail page and click the Boost button. Select your preferred duration and confirm.
Transaction History
Keep track of your credit activity on the Credits page. You'll see a complete audit log of:
- Credit purchases (quantity, date, Stripe receipt).
- Credits spent on publishing, direct multi-channel syndications, and boosts.
- Automatic refunds for any failed API actions.
- Real-time remaining credit balance.
💡
Tip: Buy credits in larger packages for maximum savings per listing. Since credits never expire, you can stock up ahead of busy sourcing seasons.
