# How Payment Works

{% hint style="info" %}
**Attention:** To use the ZapSign integration in production you must have an active API plan. To learn more about the plans [click here](https://zapsign.co/pricing) and for more documents [contact our sales team](https://zapsign.co/contact-sales). 
{% endhint %}

To use the production environment, you need to subscribe to an API plan via credit card which is automatically renewed. You have the option to choose between monthly or annual payments. If you exceed the number of documents included in your plan, the excess will be charged to your registered credit card at the end of the month.

You are responsible for tracking the volume of documents used. We will only provide a usage report at the end of the month if you exceed the document volume of your plan.

 **Unsigned and deleted documents do not "recover" credits. Once created, the document will be counted towards your API Plan usage.**
