The usual solution is to just do a stored value system; give people a wallet in your system that they can top off in $20 increments, then the actual microtransactions are just a database write.

But that is also a terrible system for a user. I try to avoid any app that does this.
In theory I agree, meaning I'm the same way.

In practice I don't believe it's true though, as there are very popular (outside the US) payments systems like Satispay the are exactly like that.

curious do you find other systems? Because as OP says it s still not feasible to do microtransactions on the web
