Farming and Weather Advisory

Turning a Popular Free App Into Revenue

A free app with real usage still needs a way to convert some of that usage into revenue, and for many agritech products the natural moment is a single valuable action, like exporting a pro report. Without a lightweight payment option, that ৳50 opportunity is simply lost every time a user taps a locked button.

The purchase moment works like this:

The user taps the locked pro export or advisory feature Digimart triggers a one time charge of ৳50 An OTP confirms the purchase in the moment The feature unlocks immediately, without leaving the app

Why Timing Matters More Than Price Here

The value of ৳50 depends entirely on capturing it at the exact moment the user wants it, not five minutes later after they have moved on. A few outcomes follow from charging in context:

The charge happens at the point of intent, right when the button is tapped No separate payment screen or app switch is needed to complete the purchase Small amounts like ৳50 remain worth collecting instead of being written off Farmers and field users without bank access can still pay directly from their phone

It is worth noting that this fits a single, clearly bounded action, like unlocking one export or one advisory report, rather than an ongoing relationship, which belongs on the Subscription Charging SDK instead.

A free app only becomes a business once the moment of value and the moment of payment happen together.

Where This Fits Into Your Product

The One Time Charging SDK attaches to the locked feature itself, most often a single "Unlock" or "Export" button. Agritech teams and NGOs typically use it for one off actions like this rather than recurring access, keeping the free core of the app intact while monetising specific high value moments.
