Solutions

Start small and add payments as you grow.

Add credit-backed payments to your existing HTTP flow. Start on testnets, move to production, and keep the same integration.

A small integration

Wrap your existing fetch client or middleware to add payments.

No new wallet

Works with the accounts and HTTP clients you already use.

Use the same flow as you grow

Keep the same payment flow as request volume increases.

Use cases

Built for startups workflows

Give each stakeholder the payment primitives they need: instant authorization, clear limits, and settlement that stays easy to audit.

For founders

Charge for APIs early

Charge for useful endpoints without building a full billing system first.

Avoid prepaid wallet UX

Let users and agents pay as they go without forcing awkward top-up flows.

Keep the integration consistent

Use the same x402-compatible flow from testing to production.

For small teams

Start with SDKs

Add client and server wrappers around the HTTP stack you already use.

Grow into settlement controls

Begin simple, then add limits, reporting, and custom settlement terms as volume increases.

Process

Start with startups in 3 steps

The path is deliberately small: configure the payment session, verify each request, then settle the cycle with durable records.

  1. 01

    Protect one valuable route

    Choose an endpoint or resource that should be paid and add the 4Mica middleware.

  2. 02

    Test with credit payments

    Send requests through an x402-compatible client and verify guarantees before serving responses.

  3. 03

    Scale the same pattern

    Add more paid routes, tune limits, and move from testnet experiments to production flows.

Works with the stack you already use — use 4Mica through x402-compatible HTTP clients, SDKs, any x402 facilitator, and the settlement infrastructure behind them.

FAQ

Common questions about startups

Can a startup integrate 4Mica before it has mature billing?

Yes. 4Mica is designed to wrap existing HTTP clients and middleware so teams can start with one paid route.

Do I need to rebuild if volume increases?

No. The same credit-backed flow can scale from early experiments to larger settlement cycles.

What should I monetize first?

Start with a route that has clear marginal cost or clear value, such as inference, data, premium actions, or automation.
