Frequently Asked Questions

 

How are my credits used?

Each time you validate and/or barcode an address one POSTman Web Service credit it used, even if that address could not be validated. Each time the "near matches" facility is used, two additional credits are used.

If you use the POSTman Web Service service directly either in your website or if you use any other application that utilises POSTman Web Service one credit will be used each time an address is validated and/or barcoded. If a near matches facility is available, two additional credits will be used each time it is used. Back to top

 

Do my credits expire?

No, all credits that you purchase have an indefinite life, that means you can purchase a quantity of credits at a lower price and use them over a long period of time. The exception to this is any free credits that may be provided when you first sign up, if you do not purchase any credits within the first six (6) months of signing up then Posimente may expire these credits at their option. If you make a purchase within that period however Posimente will allow you to retain those five hundred (500) credits. If you make a purchase before the free credits expire any remaining free credits will be retained on your account along with any newly purchased ones. Back to top
