Hi! How are you collecting the payments? Checkout Sessions, PaymentIntent, Invoices, subscriptions, etc.

Hey! I got platform, where users sign up and in this step Im creating users in Stripe. I got store there, where can users shop and I want to add some users free credit to spend (all of the users have some subscription free/paid)
Something like opening the user profile and adjust his credit to some number and then he can use it (or not)

If you are using Stripe Billing (for subscription and invoices), you could use customer credit balance: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance

But If I adjust his credit, It want to pay it by the user on the next invoice
It supposed to be "gift credits"
And can I add restriction for the credit, that it can be used only for buying products and not subscription?

Here if you give a customer a -$10 credit balance, then on the next invoice they will pay $10 less. Is that what you want?

Almost. I want to add restriction that he can use the credits only to products and not subscription
eager trail
Got it. No that's not possible to add restrictions. So I would recommend to not use the credit balance, and manage that on your own instead.
Note that we have coupons that can give discounts to specific product IDs https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create

Ok, got it. I got probably last question - can the user use the credit balance to pay for product?
I added credit to test user and stripe used the credits for paying on that subscription, but when the user made product purchase then Stripe ignored the credit and used the users card
