AI Foundation, AI Providers module with a red box around the Use a claim code link on the T3Planet Credits card

AI Foundation > AI Providers, T3Planet Credits card, link Use a claim code (red box). Here the yellow notice says that this site's token is not accepted, which is one reason to use a claim code.

A claim code connects your TYPO3 site to a T3Planet credits account that already exists. T3Planet sends it to you by email. You paste it once. After that the site uses your balance.

When do you need one? 

  • You bought credits, in the TYPO3 backend or on t3planet.de, and now want the site to use them.
  • You are recovering an account after a site rebuild, a move to a new server, or a changed server IP address.
  • TYPO3 says that this server IP already belongs to a paying account and asks you to use a claim code.

You do not need a claim code to start with the free trial. Use Activate for that. See Configuration.

Where do you get the code? 

  • After every purchase, T3Planet emails the code to the address you used. This is the same if you bought in the TYPO3 backend (AI Credit Bundles) or on https://t3planet.de/ki-credits.
  • Lost it, or it expired? Ask for a new one inside TYPO3 (see below).

Enter the code 

  1. Open AI Foundation > AI Providers. On the T3Planet Credits card, click Use a claim code (see the red box above).
  2. Paste the code into Claim code. Spaces and line breaks are removed for you.
  3. Click Connect this site.
  4. A green message appears in the bottom right corner. Then the page reloads.

Steps 1 to 4 on a test site. The code and email are blurred.

What happens next 

  • TYPO3 sends the code to T3Planet. The code is not stored in TYPO3.
  • TYPO3 saves the access token it gets back in encrypted form and switches Credits on. You do not need to click Activate.
  • After the reload, the T3Planet Credits card shows the green badge Active. Credit Balance shows your credits. See Dashboard & AI Usage.

The green message depends on your site:

  • Your purchase was added to this site's existing credits account. Loading your dashboard… The site already had a credits account, for example from the free trial. Your purchase is added to it. The balance can still say Current: Free Trial.
  • Credits account connected. Loading your dashboard… The site had no credits account yet.

The Use a claim code link stays on the card after Credits is active. If the code belongs to a different account than before, the list Recent AI Usage is cleared. It then shows only the connected account.

Lost the code or it expired 

In the same dialog, use Email me a code.

  1. Enter the email address of your T3Planet credits account.
  2. Click Email me a code.
  3. Paste the new code from the email.

T3Planet always answers If that address has an AI Credits account, a claim code is on its way to it. It never says whether the address is registered. The code goes only to the address stored on the account.
