Hello Thomas,
We have technically a credits based backend with pre-payment (tldbox).
But in fact we are doing post-payment with our Registrars by managing huge
volumes of credits for each of them. So in our case this wouldn’t make sense
- at least it could lead to confusion.
So this should be optional.
Best, Matthias
