Frequently asked questions
Is listing really free?
Yes. Listing is free with no per-request fee. Providers keep 100% of what the call earns.
What does PayAPI Market charge providers?
Nothing per request. 100% of every x402 settlement goes directly to your wallet. USDC routes from the paying agent to your own wallet via the CDP Facilitator, and PayAPI Market never takes a cut on-chain. No invoicing, no monthly bill, no surprise fees.
Do I need a crypto wallet to get paid?
Yes. Payments settle as USDC on Base. You provide a wallet address at listing time. Off-ramp to USD is available through any USDC-supported exchange or bank on-ramp like Coinbase.
Can I change pricing per endpoint?
Yes. Each route can have its own x402 price, set in your own server's x402 configuration. Your live 402 challenge is the source of truth, so the price on your PayAPI Market listing must match what the 402 returns. If you change the price, update your listing to match.
Do buyers pay monthly subscriptions?
No. The whole point of x402 is pay-per-request. AI agents pay only for the calls they make, in USDC, with no minimum spend and no accounts. This makes your API instantly usable by any agent on the network.
