### How to paying Invoices with Account Credit

Your **account credit balance** can be used to pay invoices directly from the EDBB Control Panel.

### Important Notes

* **Future invoices** are covered **automatically** as long as sufficient account credit is available.
* **Invoices that already exist** must be paid **manually** by applying credit to the invoice.

### How to Apply Credit to an Invoice

1. Sign in to your **EDBB Control Panel**
2. Navigate to the **Billing** section and open **My Invoices**
3. Select the invoice you want to pay
4. On the invoice page, look for the green **Apply Credit** area
5. Enter the amount you wish to apply (or the full outstanding balance)
6. Click **Apply Credit** to confirm
