Prerequisites

To configure pay per crawl, you must have the following:

Cloudflare account: You need an active Cloudflare account with domains added
Domain on Cloudflare: Your domain must be using Cloudflare's nameservers, or have DNS records managed by Cloudflare
Administrator access: You need Administrator or Super Administrator permissions for account-level configuration

Configure domain access

An Administrator or Super Administrator with access to all domains must select which domains should show the pay per crawl controls:

In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Manage Account > Settings.
Go to Configurations ↗
Select Pay Per Crawl.
In the Domain Access table, select which domains will have pay per crawl configurations visible.
Set the Visibility to Visible for each domain you want to configure.

After completing these steps, domain administrators can set a pay per crawl price and enable pay per crawl for their specific domains.
