Auto-Recharge in Salesmsg: A Simple Guide

Auto-Recharge is a feature that automatically refills your message credits in Salesmsg so you don’t run out while sending texts or making calls.


What Auto-Recharge Does

  • When your message credit balance drops below a set number, Salesmsg will automatically buy more credits for you using your payment card.

  • This helps prevent interruptions in sending texts or making/receiving calls.

  • Important: If your message credits ever hit zero, messages and calls will stop.


How to Set It Up

  1. Go to your Plan & Billing page in Salesmsg.

  2. Find the Auto-Recharge settings under the Usage section.

  3. Choose:

    • When to trigger auto-recharge (e.g., when credits fall below 100).

    • How many credits should be added each time (e.g., 1,000 credits).

For example:
When credits fall below 400, automatically add 1,000 credits for $40.


Add a Backup Payment Method (Optional but Recommended)

You can add a second payment method in case your primary card fails during an auto-recharge attempt. Salesmsg will try the backup card so your credits are still replenished.


How It Works With Broadcasts

When you send a Broadcast (a large group message), Salesmsg checks if you have enough credits to send it. If you don’t, you’ll be asked to turn on Auto-Recharge.


Billing Tip

Each auto-recharge shows up as its own item on your statement, so you can easily track what triggered each charge.


Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see many charges from Salesmsg?

  • If you’re sending a lot of messages, your account may trigger auto-recharge often.

  • For a more detailed look at your accounts credit usage, see the Credit Usage analytics report.

  • If this happens regularly, you might consider upgrading to a plan with more included credits.

  • You can also buy credits ahead of time if you only need more capacity for a short period.

Can I use different cards for my subscription and auto-recharge?

Yes! You can add multiple payment methods to your Salesmsg account and choose which card is used for auto-recharge separately from your subscription billing. This gives you more control over how and where charges are applied.


Troubleshooting Steps

Are multiple auto-recharge payments failing?

If you’re sending a high volume of text messages, your bank may flag repeated auto-recharge attempts as duplicate or suspicious charges.

To reduce the chance of failed payments, we recommend triggering auto-recharge less often by adding a larger number of credits each time.

If auto-recharge is failing, try the following:

  • Make sure the payment card on file has enough available funds.

  • Check with your bank to confirm the charges aren’t being blocked.

  • Update your auto-recharge settings to add more credits per recharge so it doesn’t run as frequently.
