Get paid for every request, the moment you answer it
Metered billing without invoices, card holds or a month of unpaid usage.
A customer approves a spending limit once. From then on your service collects for each request as it serves it, and the network hands back a signed receipt for every single call.
If you sell an API, a data feed or a model endpoint, you already meter usage. What you cannot do with cards and invoices is collect it one request at a time. Pay per call fixes that. Your customer approves a limit once, you charge each request against it as you serve it, and the money is yours before the response leaves your server.
There is no minimum charge worth caring about, so a request priced at a fraction of a cent is just as practical as one priced at ten dollars. Each charge is its own transaction on the network, settled as it happens, with a receipt both sides can keep.

between serving a request and being paid
Picture a provider serving two million requests a month at a fifth of a cent each. Today that is a $4,000 invoice, net 30, and a collections conversation when it slips. Here it is two million small settlements that have already cleared by the time the month ends. Revenue recognition is a lookup, not a reconciliation.
One approval, then thousands of charges
Your customer sets the ceiling. You never hold their money, and they never hold your invoice.
The customer's approval names your service, the asset they will pay in, the most a single request may cost and the total they are willing to spend, with an optional reset each day or month for subscription-style plans. Every charge you make is checked against those terms by the network itself, so a customer can give a new vendor a $50 trial allowance with the same confidence they would give a trusted one a $50,000 one.
Need to stop? The customer withdraws the approval in one action and any later charge is refused. You keep everything already collected, and both of you keep the receipts that prove it.
