If an agent needs to call a paid API, buy data, settle a invoice, or purchase cloud credits, it needs a way to pay programmatically. Ideally with user-defined permissions and budgets.

**With the Alby Payments Skill an agent can:**

* check wallet balances
* send lightning payments
* pay invoices after confirmation
* use pay-per-call services without subscriptions. Find them on [https://402index.io/](https://402index.io/).
* operate with a limited wallet connection instead of full custody

**For OpenClaw, the setup is basically:**

1. Create an NWC connection from Alby Hub or another NWC-enabled wallet
2. Give OpenClaw the Alby Payments Skill instructions (Get the ready-to-use prompt from the article.)
3. Let the agent pay lightning invoices with your approval
