Credits are the currency that powers all transactions on Circo. Fans use Credits to unlock content, subscribe to Studios, and send gifts. As a creator, the Credits your fans spend become your earnings — withdrawable as real money once you complete KYC.

​
How Credits work

Every Credit has a fixed value: 1 Credit = $0.50 (50 cents), shown in your local currency equivalent Circo uses a dual-credit system that keeps spending and earning clearly separated.

​
Two types of Credits

Purchased Credits are bought by fans directly inside the app.
  • Available in packages (e.g., 10, 20, 50 Credits) priced in the buyer’s local currency
  • Used for PPV purchases, subscriptions, and gifting inside Circo
  • Not withdrawable — they represent what fans spend, not what you earn
Purchased Credits that fans top up to their wallets are spending currency only. You cannot withdraw them even if they land in your account through a failed or reversed transaction.

​
Where Credits show up for you

As a creator, you see Credits in two places:
  • Wallet: Your running balance of earned Credits, pending payouts, and withdrawal history
  • Creator Dashboard: Revenue breakdowns showing Credits earned from gifting, PPV, and subscriptions separately
Track your Credit earnings by source in the Creator Dashboard. If gifting revenue is high, consider engaging more actively in CliQ to encourage it. If PPV revenue dominates, your Teasers are working — keep optimizing them.
