Read your balance
GET /billing/credits returns your current balance as a string amount, such as "982.00".
The value is a bare number in your account’s currency, with no currency symbol — the currency your reseller account is configured in (for example USD, KES, or TZS). Domain pricing is charged in the same currency, so no conversion is needed to compare a price against your balance.

Order lifecycle
An order does not become a manageable domain instantly. The stages are:- Order placed. The order call returns
"success"and your credits are deducted. - Order pending. The domain is not yet in your reseller account. Management endpoints (information, contacts, nameservers, and so on) return
403 {"error":"Provided domain has not been found in reseller account"}, and sync returns a500registrar error. - Order active. Once the account and order are active, the domain is provisioned to your reseller account and the management endpoints start returning data.
Verify your account email before ordering. Until your email is verified, domain orders stay pending and will not provision. See Order and activate reseller access.
403 “not found in reseller account” right after ordering means the order is still pending, not that the order failed. Poll the domain’s information endpoint until it resolves.
