Credit conversion is the rule connecting a reseller's credit deduction with a particular account action, term or package. It is specific to the service and can include conditions or exceptions. Without that mapping, a package's credit quantity and price are insufficient to determine the cost of serving a customer for a chosen period.
A practical example
A reseller comparing two package sizes needs to know how many credits a proposed client term consumes. Dividing package cost by credit quantity gives a unit cost, but the conversion rule is still needed to calculate the term's actual credit cost.
A common misunderstanding
Never transfer a credit-to-duration table from another provider merely because both use a reseller panel. Confirm the current mapping and record the version or agreement used for customer pricing.
