micropayments

Micropayments refer to small financial transactions, typically just a few cents or dollars, made online. They enable consumers to pay for individual digital content or services—such as articles, music clips, or app features—without needing to commit to larger purchases or subscriptions. This system offers a convenient way to access or support creators for single items or short-term use. Advanced digital payment technologies, like cryptocurrency or specialized payment platforms, help facilitate these tiny transactions efficiently and securely, making it practical to pay small amounts for digital goods that were previously difficult to monetize effectively.
