Coins are the in-app credit used when you unlock premium matching options and certain paid chat actions. In the current web flow, coin balance is stored on your profile and is updated after successful Stripe webhook confirmation.

## Steps

1. Open your profile and check the coin counter before starting paid actions.
2. Use coins on premium actions like Gender filter unlock (15 coins) or Location filter unlock (10 coins).
3. After each spend, verify your new balance in profile before starting the next paid action.
4. If the balance looks incorrect, open the transaction article in this category and then contact billing support with your user ID.
