# Shop with employee credits

Shop products from the various categories in Shopping Hub Home with employee credits that are allocated to you. You can search, browse, and shop from all open categories as well as from those restricted categories for which credits have been assigned to you.

## Before you begin

To shop using employee credits, you must have some employee credits allocated to you by the Shopping Hub administrator. For more information on how employee credits allow you access to restricted categories, see [Shopping controls overridden by credits](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/sourcing-and-procurement-operations/shopping-controls-overridden.md).
