How credits work

One person in a queue or one event ticket uses one credit. Your first 100 are free. After that you buy prepaid packs, from ₹3.50 down to ₹2.00 a person, valid 12 months, with no auto-debit.

Qwait doesn't have monthly plans. You pay for the people you serve.

What uses a credit

Each person you add uses one credit. That covers every token, walk-in, free ticket, coupon ticket and cash ticket. It still counts if they later miss their turn or leave.

If you switch on WhatsApp messages for a queue, each message sent uses 1 credit.

These are free and unlimited:

  • queues and events
  • counters and team members
  • display screens
  • QR posters

Bigger packs cost less per person. Need more? Type any number of credits under Buy any amount on Billing: the price per person keeps dropping, down to ₹2.00 for large amounts. Credits are a one-time payment by UPI, card or netbanking. There's no auto-debit, and credits stay valid for 12 months.

Buying credits

  1. Open the menu and tap Billing. When you're running low, a Buy credits link also shows on the dashboard.
  2. Pick a pack, or type the number of credits you want under Buy any amount, and pay.
  3. The new credits add to what you have. Older credits are used first.

Every payment is listed under Payment history on the same screen.

Event tickets

Qwait takes no commission on your ticket price. Each ticket uses one credit, whatever it costs and however the buyer pays. The ticket money goes straight to you. See Get paid for tickets.

Questions

What happens when I run out?

You get low-balance alerts before you run out, so you can top up in time. At zero, nobody new can join your queues or get tickets until you buy more. People already waiting aren't affected. New credits add on top of what's left.

Do people joining pay anything?

No. Joining a queue is free for them. For events, buyers pay you the ticket price.

  • A tour of your dashboard — The dashboard shows who's waiting now, how many you served today, your credits, live queues and coming events. On a phone, the bar at the bottom takes you to Ques, Events, My Turns and Help.
  • Fix: I paid, but it isn't confirmed — Payments complete even if the payment window closed or you switched to your UPI app, because the payment gateway tells Qwait directly. Wait a few minutes and reopen the page. Still not there? Raise a request under Payment or billing and pick the payment.
