Hi @nathanssimpson
I think this part in the documentation is the answer you are looking for:
“Regarding DALL-E usage, OpenAI adopts a different charging scheme. Unlike most features that are charged based on the number of tokens used, DALL-E usage is charged on a dollar basis. This means the cost for using DALL-E is not calculated based on the number of tokens, but instead corresponds directly to a monetary value. Please keep this in mind while utilizing the DALL-E feature.”
so there is no way to sale tokens and use for images – and thus i can not make money from people using my image creator cause they basically get to use all their money and it charges them the same as it charges me and so i actually loose money since im having to pay processesor to process them buying tokens and then they get exact same amount to spend of my money after purchase
if i limit role based pricing – then say they use up their alloted number in time frame – Can i reset their usage if they pay again or manually?
So i create 3 roles:
Starter = 30 images year
Growth = 70 images year
Mega = 140 images year
Say someone uses up thier images in starter in 1 week and wants to renew – how might i handle that?
can i edit the plugin somewhere to say increase price and in woo and decrease the price in added $$$ credits in image generator dollars so it is not $1 for $1 but i can sale access at a profit
ok i tried everything – it seems you have to set a limit – and once limit is set then there is no refilling or purchasing to add more within limit duration — so if i set limit to $10 per year – no matter what i do there is no way for the customer to use $10 in a day and then purchase more tokens and use that same day?
why is this?
I really need this to work. please!
lastly – so the woo integration allows me to specify number of token $20 will buy but for image creation when a product has $20 for 1,000 tokens it only shows $20 in image generation field. Yet still when they use up the $20 it doen’t force them to repurchase no does it stop them from creating more images —- it simply allows them to keep creatng images when tokens or $$$ are used up — but i want them to buy $10 woo product and get $3 credit to image creation and then when they use them up or whenever they can purchase againa nd add $3 more and again adding $3 more —
Try the wallet system plugin. Probably you need the Pro version.
You need a proper wallet system for more complex stuff.
With this plugin you basically make wallet products for text, images etc and can assign wallet credits per product. Problem solved.
Wallet system plugin also enables fast top-ups. Very useful when user is engaged in a chat / image generation, and you want them to go on spending. With the least friction and improve user experience.
To display your coin or custom token system with whatever fixed value you wish, you need Custom field for the product to set a token value, coin value [or wallet value in USD is out of the box supported for WC].
Make custom user fields to be able to add/deduct token usage if you need to display value other than USD in wallet balance.
Then, the Uncunny Automator plugin [Pro] can pull WC product meta and send to the User’s wallet.
You might need the wallet creator to add a little customization for coin/token support instead of USD.
Elementor Pro’s dynamic data can then pull metadata from user, wallet, or product [dep how you set up] to display stuff the way you want – for ex., in their progress bar element. on a TY page, my account page etc.
