Lumen Credits

Ship the app. Skip the billing sprint.

Lumen Credits is a hosted storefront for AI apps. You bring your AI provider API keys and your PayPal merchant account. We host the website, handle end-user sign-in, count every token, and route payments straight into your PayPal — we never touch the money.

What you get

A branded customer site

Your storefront at your-slug.lumencredits.com — headline, tagline and hero image you control from the dashboard.

Credits, not invoices

Sell credit packs and subscriptions through PayPal. Balances, receipts and renewals handled for you.

Multi-provider metering

Gemini, OpenAI, Claude and Soniox usage metered per token against per-model prices you set.

How it works

  1. Sign in with Google and create an app in the dashboard.
  2. Connect your keys — AI provider API keys plus your PayPal merchant credentials.
  3. Set pricing — credit offers your customers buy, and per-model token prices they spend.
  4. Go live — share your-slug.lumencredits.com; end users sign in, pay you via PayPal, and start using credits.

The deal

End-user payments go from your customer's PayPal directly to yours — no revenue share, no custody. You pay Lumen Credits a small metered platform fee for the hosted infrastructure and token counting. That's the whole business model.

No subscription. Signing up includes $0.50 of free platform credit — about 10,000 text requests or 8 hours of realtime audio, plenty to launch and test with. After that you prepay from $5 via PayPal. Current fees: $0.00005 per text request, $0.0001 per image, about $0.001 per minute of realtime audio or video — so $5 covers roughly 100,000 requests or 80 hours of audio.
