# How to Configure Credit Settings in WHMCS

The credit tab concerns how your customers can purchase credit on their accounts. This credit can be used to pay account balances.

1. [Login to your WHMCS Admin](/support/edu/whm/login-to-whmcs/)
2. [![General Settings under Setup](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/Tooltip_043.png)](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/Tooltip_043.png) Hover over *Setup* and choose *General Settings*
3. [![Credit tab](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/Selection51.png)](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/Selection51.png) Choose the *Credit* tab
4. Fill in the settings: Enable/Disable: Tick this box to enable adding of funds by clients from the client area Minimum Deposit: Enter the minimum amount a client can add in a single transaction Maximum Deposit: Enter the maximum amount a client can add in a single transaction Maximum Balance: Enter the maximum balance that a client can add in credit Require Active Order: Require an active order before allowing Add Funds use (used to protect against fraud, means an admin must have manually reviewed the client & approved an order before allowing credit to be added)
5. [![Blue Save Changes Button](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/savechanges1.png)](/support/images/stories/reseller/general-settings-whmcs/savechanges1.png) Click **Save Changes**
