Wait for confirmations
Credits are added once your payment has 3 confirmations, usually a few minutes. You can close the screen: they arrive the next time ZCode checks your balance.

Save your recovery code
Your credits now belong to this session. If you haven't saved your recovery code yet, ZCode will ask you to.
