# Marketplace

> Turn any API into a paid service — no credit cards, no invoices, no delays

## Turn any API into a paid service

The Corbits Marketplace is a hosted proxy management platform that puts a payment layer in front of your existing API. Register your API, configure per-endpoint pricing, and start collecting revenue — without changing a line of your backend code.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up and create an organization">
    Create your account at [api.corbits.dev](https://api.corbits.dev/signup) and set up your organization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register your API as a proxy">
    Point Corbits at your existing API. The platform provisions a dedicated proxy URL (e.g. `your-api.your-org.api.corbits.dev`) that sits in front of your backend and handles payment collection automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set per-endpoint pricing">
    Configure pricing for each endpoint — from fractions of a cent to dollars per request. Exact pricing is available now; Flex pricing is coming soon.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start earning">
    Every request through your proxy settles payment before it reaches your backend. Revenue appears in your wallet in real time — no chargebacks, no invoicing, no 30-day net terms.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Why teams use Corbits

  <Accordion title="No integration needed">
    Corbits proxies your existing API with zero code changes. Your backend stays exactly as it is.

    Works with any API — REST, GraphQL, or otherwise — regardless of language, framework, or hosting provider.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Built-in payment gating">
    Payment is enforced at the proxy layer. Requests that haven't paid never reach your backend.

    Anyone with a crypto wallet can pay — no bank accounts, no geographic restrictions, no KYC friction for your users.

## Manage your Marketplace

Everything is configured and monitored through the **Control Plane** — a dashboard built around the lifecycle of a proxied API.
