The payment layer

One payment layer. Any digital resource.

A digital resource requests payment at the moment it is accessed. No subscription. No checkout journey. Just access, payment and value exchange.

Use cases

Monetise the next request.

AI & MCP

Monetise MCP tools, agent capabilities and individual AI actions. Charge for a single request instead of a subscription.

APIs & Data

Turn endpoints, datasets and specialised services into monetisable resources. Every request can carry its own value.

Web Content

Premium pages, articles, research and reports that unlock instantly at the moment of access.

Media

Monetise individual videos, streams and files without building a billing platform around them.

Social & Independent

New models for independent publishing where individual pieces of content carry individual value.

Anything addressable

If it has a URL, it can have a price. Set the value, Status402 handles the payment layer.

The economics

Micropayments that actually make sense.

Traditional payment infrastructure was designed for transactions measured in pounds. The next generation of the internet needs transactions measured in pennies — and sometimes less.

  • Pay for one request.
  • One piece of content.
  • One action.
  • One moment of value.

Software is beginning to buy software.
