RON Credits let you prepay NotaryCentral Remote Online Notarization platform fees. One credit equals $1 USD. Credits change how you pay those fees; the underlying service prices stay the same.
How much do credits cost?
Buy 1.00 to 1,000.00 credits per purchase, in increments of 0.01. The purchase total matches the credit amount in US dollars: 25.25 credits costs $25.25. Each purchase is a one-time payment through Stripe; topping up is manual.
Credits represent a dollar balance, rather than a fixed number of signings. For example, a $1.50 fee uses 1.50 credits.
How to buy RON credits
- Sign in to NotaryCentral and select Buy RON credits from the Payments menu, or open the RON credits billing page.
- Review your available balance and enter the number of credits to buy.
- Check the purchase total and estimated session count, then select the buy button.
- Complete payment in Stripe Checkout. Credits are added after payment is confirmed.
- Return to the credits page to check your balance and Recent activity. If payment is awaiting confirmation, select Refresh balance to check again. A canceled checkout does not add credits.
How credits pay platform fees
When a RON platform fee is billed to your account, your credit balance is used if it covers that entire fee. If the balance is too low, the existing saved charge card flow is used and the credits remain available. Credits and a card are not split to pay a single fee.
Fees already collected from signer invoices are not charged to your credits again. Purchasing credits does not change how much you charge your customers.
| Example fee | Credits used when fully covered |
|---|---|
| One ID verification | 1.50 credits ($1.50) |
| One session finalization | 1.50 credits ($1.50) |
| One ID verification plus one finalization | 3.00 credits ($3.00 total) |
These examples describe platform fees, not your customer invoice total. Additional signers, verification attempts, or applicable KBA charges can change the total. See RON pricing for the pricing breakdown.
Understanding estimated sessions
The purchase screen estimates complete sessions using 3.00 credits per session: one ID verification at 1.50 credits and one finalization at 1.50 credits. For example, 25 credits estimates eight complete sessions, with one credit left over. Unused credits remain available.
This is an estimate, not a package of guaranteed sessions. Actual usage depends on the fees incurred. You can review purchases, usage, and refund adjustments in Recent activity, including the balance after each entry.
Personal accounts and teams
Personal accounts use their own balance. Team members share the workspace billing owner's balance and can view it; only the workspace billing owner can purchase credits. Learn more about Team Workspace billing.
Do credits replace subscriptions?
Credits pay RON platform fees. Business Suite and Digital e-Journal subscription requirements continue to apply. Compare those costs on the pricing page.
Refund adjustments
See the Terms of Use for refund terms. If a credit purchase is refunded through the existing payment process, the adjustment is reflected in the balance. A refund after credits have been used can leave a negative balance; future purchases first cover that amount.
