Billable actions

The actions your app can perform to receive compensation from Canva.

This article is for apps that have been accepted into the Premium Apps Program(opens in a new tab or window). If your app hasn't been accepted into the program, this article does not apply to you.

Billable actions are what your app performs to receive compensation from Canva. Billable actions correspond to either generate, modify, or import actions performed on different asset types or text.

To receive compensation from Canva, each of your app's premium features must be associated with one of the following billable actions:

  • modify_video
  • modify_audio
  • modify_text
  • import_image
  • import_video
  • import_audio
  • import_text
  • generate_image
  • generate_video
  • generate_audio
  • generate_text

App operations that don't fit one of the billable actions aren't eligible for compensation.
