How ZeroClick works

ZeroClick puts an agent-ready storefront in front of your existing API. AI agents discover your service, buy access using the pricing model you choose, and call your API through a ZeroClick proxy. You keep your own authentication, your own infrastructure, and your own pricing. ZeroClick handles discovery, checkout, key provisioning, usage tracking, and billing.

You integrate once. After that, every product you publish in the dashboard is immediately purchasable and usable by agents.

The flow#

1. An agent discovers your service through ZeroClick's hosted skill description and MPP & x402 marketplaces.
2. The agent buys a plan through https://{service-slug}.pay.zeroclick.io/plans/{planId}/purchase.
3. ZeroClick provisions access by calling the API key exchange endpoint you host, trading the buyer's identity for an API key.
4. The agent calls your API through https://{service-slug}.pay.zeroclick.io/*. ZeroClick proxies each request to your upstream URL and injects the buyer's API key, so requests arrive at your API already authenticated. Proxied calls use zero-cost MPP/x402 wallet identity; they do not move funds.
5. You report usage when the pricing model needs it so ZeroClick can bill usage-based products, burn prepaid credits, or track included usage. Subscription-only products can skip usage reporting.
6. When access is blocked, your API returns 402 Payment Required with a reason. A buyer may extend funded balance, or an expired subscription buyer may renew.

Core concepts#

• Service: your API. A name, a description, and the upstream URL ZeroClick proxies to.
• Product: something you sell from a service, such as weather data or image generation.
• Pricing model: how buyers pay for that product: pay as you go, subscription, subscription with included usage, or prepaid credits.
• Plan: a subscription tier, such as Starter or Scale.
• Credit package: a prepaid balance buyers purchase before using the API.
• Meter: a usage dimension you measure for usage-based products, such as API requests or compute runs.
• Entitlement: a feature flag attached to a plan, such as support: priority.

Payments go directly to you#

ZeroClick never holds your money. When an agent buys a plan at /plans/{planId}/purchase or extends funded balance at /extend, the funds move directly from the buyer to your payout address. There is no ZeroClick balance, no payout schedule, and no withdrawal step: the purchase and the payment to you are the same transaction.
