Kostia, membership plugin is connected to Oxwall's user roles feature.
User roles control whether users can do certain action or not. For
example: our "Free" role doesn't allow to add any content on the site,
and "VIP" role allows to do everything.
To purchase membership for credits, user needs to earn credits first.
To earn credits he needs to make certain action ( ex. add photo or video).
To make the action user needs to get a user role that allows to do those actions ( in our case VIP role).
To get the user role user needs to purchase the membership.
To purchase membership for credits, user needs to earn credits first.
As you can see we will end up in neverending circle.
That is why User credits plugin is connected directly with actions. User can earn or lose credits for actions. When user is losing credits for adding a blog, for example, it is the same as he would have purchased ability to add blogs, since when user doesn't have enough credits to complete certain action, he will be asked to purchase them.

I have the same question as Kostia. I have certain things capable of only specific member roles regardless of credits and want my members to be able to pay to upgrade their membership - by credit or money. Such an ability would make this plug in even more useful.

Guys, I have searched the Store and found a number of gateways that allow to purchase memberships. One of them allows to purchase memberships via Credits ( exactly what you guys wanted). Search the store by "payment" keyword.

Hello Kostia, yes I was referring to that plugin. It is better to contact plugin's developer to find out how exactly this plugin works with "Paid Membership". From what I understood it works like a payment gateway and when user purchases something, certain amount of credits is subtracted from his account and gets whatever he was purchasing in return ( ex. he gets new membership)
