Once your domain's visibility is set to **Visible** in Account Settings, you can set a pay per crawl price and enable pay per crawl for that domain.

1. Go to **AI Crawl Control**.  
[ Go to **AI Crawl Control** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/ai)
2. Go to the **Settings** tab.
3. In the **Pay Per Crawl** card, select **Enable**.
4. Set your default per crawl price. This is the amount charged for each successful content retrieval (HTTP 200 response) by an AI crawler.  
   * (Optional) To set different prices for different content, select **Enable custom pricing**. Refer to [Advanced configuration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/features/pay-per-crawl/use-pay-per-crawl-as-site-owner/advanced-configuration/) for details.
5. Select **Save**.

After enabling and setting a price, the domain's status in Account Settings will change to **Enabled**.

Pricing considerations

The minimum price is $0.01 USD per crawl. Consider your content value and expected crawler volume when setting your price.
