Funds
Funds are a prepaid balance in US dollars that you keep in your Mumara ONE account. You add funds with a card, then convert them into:
- Email credits, so you can keep sending when you run short of your plan's allowance. On Essential, sending pauses when your allowance runs out, so converting funds is how you keep going before it refills.
- AI credits for Mumara AI, if your plan includes it.
Conversion rates depend on your plan. See Mumara ONE pricing.
Open Manage Funds
You can open the page two ways. Both lead to the same page, Manage Funds:
- Setup → Funds
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner and choose Manage Funds.
The right-hand side of the page shows your balances:
| Item | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Funds Available | Your funds balance. It turns red when it's running low. |
| Email Credits | Your current marketing email credits |
| AI Credits | Your Mumara AI balance. Shown only if your plan includes Mumara AI. |
| Last 3 Transactions | Your three most recent completed top-ups and conversions, with a View all transactions link |
The left-hand side has two sections, Add Funds and Convert Funds to Credits. The Add Funds and Convert Funds links at the top jump to each one.
If your plan has unlimited sending, the Add Funds section says you have an unlimited email sending limit and can't add funds.
Add funds
- Open Setup → Funds.
- Under Add Funds, choose how to pay:
- Pick one of your saved cards under Select your Cards, or
- Click Add New Card and enter the Name on Card, Card Number, Expiration Date and Card CVV.
- Type the amount in the Add Funds field.
- Click Add Funds.
An invoice for the amount is created in your billing account and charged to your card straight away:
- A Processing Payment window appears. Keep the page open until it finishes.
- When the payment goes through, the window confirms the amount you added, and the page refreshes a few seconds later with your new balance under Funds Available.
A minimum amount applies to each top-up. If your amount is too low, the page tells you. A new card you enter here is saved to your billing account and becomes your default card.
If the payment fails
The window shows Payment Failed and a View invoice button. The top-up invoice stays open, and the Add Funds section then shows:
You already have a pending invoice #1234 waiting for the payment.
It has two buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| View Invoice | Opens the pending invoice in your billing account, where you can pay it another way |
| Cancel Invoice | Cancels the pending top-up invoice in your billing account and removes it from Manage Funds |
You can't add funds again while a top-up invoice is pending. To try again with a different card, click Cancel Invoice, reload the page if it hasn't refreshed, then add funds again.
If you pay the invoice later
If you pay a pending top-up invoice in your billing account instead, you don't need to come back to Manage Funds. The funds are added to Funds Available automatically, usually within 15 minutes, and the pending invoice disappears from the page.
Convert funds into email credits
- Open Setup → Funds and go to Convert Funds to Credits.
- Under Convert Funds to Newsletter Credits, type an amount in the Funds field. The Credits field shows how many email credits you'll get at your plan's rate.
- Click Convert.
The page says Credits added to your balance. and reloads to show your new Email Credits and Funds Available. You can't convert more than your Funds Available. If you try, the page tells you the most you can convert.
You get whole credits. An amount worth less than one credit is refused with That amount converts to less than one credit. Please enter a larger amount.
Credits you buy are used after your plan's allowance. Whatever's left of them is kept when your allowance refills each billing period, and when you change plan, until you use them.
Converted email credits are added to the same balance your plan's allowance fills: your marketing email credits. Transactional email has its own allowance, which funds don't top up. To see your balance and how much you've used, open Plan & Usage.
Convert funds into AI credits
AI credits pay for Mumara AI. This section appears only if your plan includes Mumara AI.
- Open Setup → Funds and go to Convert Funds to Credits.
- Under Convert Funds to AI Credits, type an amount in the Funds field. The AI Credits field shows how many AI credits you'll get, and Max shows your available funds.
- Click Convert.
The page says AI credits added to your balance. Your balance is shown under AI Credits on this page and on your Dashboard. AI credits you buy are kept at the monthly reset until you use them. See AI Credits.
Conversions are instant and don't create an invoice. You can't turn email credits or AI credits back into funds.
