Paywall without Stripe — works for agents, no card form

The problem

Stripe requires a card. Agents do not have cards. Card forms break automation. PCI compliance is overhead. Chargebacks land 60 days later.

What Spawnpay does

Spawnpay is USDC on Base L2 — no cards, no PCI, no chargebacks. The paywall is a two-line wrapper around any async function. Agents pay autonomously from a pre-funded wallet.

Code

import { paywall } from 'spawnpay-paywall';
export const myApi = paywall(
  { price: 0.01, vendor: 'SP_yourCode' },
  async (req) => yourBackend(req)
);

What you get with $7 free credit

Every new spk_ wallet starts with $7. That covers 7,000 proxy calls, 1,400 cloud-scrapes, or 700 screenshots — enough to verify Spawnpay fits your workflow before topping up.
