## Credits for booking rooms

Booking credits offer a **fair, flexible, and transparent** way to manage your coworking space’s offices and meeting rooms, and event spaces. Whether you're aiming to balance high-demand rooms, increase revenue, or simplify management, credits give you — and your members — more control.

## Why booking credits vs hours?

Well, what works best for your operating plan? With credits, you assign value to each bookable space, ensuring high-demand rooms are used fairly while still providing access to all. It’s a smarter, more equitable way to manage your coworking space.

✅ **Offer flexible options** – Members can book different rooms based on their needs and remaining credits, giving them more control over their workspace experience.

✅ **Simplify management** – Easily track and adjust credit allocations to ensure smooth operations and a better member experience.

✅ **Encourage fair usage** – High-value spaces are booked in proportion to their importance, preventing overuse of premium rooms.

✅ Maximize your revenue – Create structured pricing that reflects the true value of your meeting spaces, increasing efficiency and reducing unused space.

### What exactly are booking credits?

Booking credits are a way to let members book meeting rooms without using traditional hourly limits. Instead of getting a set number of hours, members receive credits they can use however they like, based on the credit cost of each room.

### How are booking credits different from booking hours?

Think of credits as a flexible currency for booking rooms. Instead of treating all rooms the same, credits let you assign different values to different spaces—so a large conference room might require more credits per hour than a smaller meeting space.

### How do members know how many credits a room costs?

When members book a room through the [**Coworks mobile app**](https://www.coworks.com/coworking-member-app), they’ll see the credit cost per hour listed in the room details. This way, they can make informed choices about how they want to use their credits.

### Can I set different credit values for different rooms and spaces?

Yes! You decide how many credits each room costs per hour. This lets you fine-tune availability, making sure high-demand rooms require more credits while smaller spaces remain more accessible.

### What happens when a member runs out of booking credits?

If a member uses all their credits, they can still book rooms by paying an optional overage fee. By default, 1 credit = $10, but you can set your own pricing structure based on your space’s needs.

### How often do booking credits reset?

Credits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle. If a member has 10 credits per month, they’ll get a fresh 10 credits when their next billing period starts.

### Can I change how many credits a member gets each month?

Absolutely! You can assign different credit amounts to different membership plans, so some members get more credits than others based on their plan type.

### Where do members see how many credits they have left?

Members can track their remaining credits in the [**Coworks member app**](https://www.coworks.com/coworking-member-app). This keeps things simple and transparent, so they always know how much they can book.

### How do I generate reports to see how credits are being used?

Yes! You can download a **Booking Usage Report** from the Coworks dashboard, showing a full breakdown of how credits are being used across your space.

### How do I get started with booking credits in my space?

You can have booking credits enabled in your **Coworks dashboard**. From there, you can customize credit values, assign credits to membership plans, and start offering a more flexible booking experience for your members.
