Fastly's [Bot Management](/guides/security/bot-management/) product can be integrated with [TollBit](https://tollbit.com/) to manage and monetize bot traffic. By using the two products together, you can detect and classify bots, redirect them to your TollBit Bot Paywall, verify tokens and grant content access to bots with valid tokens, and require all other AI bots to pay for access.

## Prerequisites

To use this integration, you must have a [paid account](/guides/account-info/billing/account-types#paid-accounts) with a contract for Fastly's services and you must purchase [Bot Management](https://docs.fastly.com/products/bot-management) for deployment on Fastly's Edge Cloud. Bot Management is not available for the [Essential platform](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-next-gen-waf#feature-availability).

Before using TollBit with Fastly's Bot Management, you will need to [create a TollBit account and subdomain](https://tollbit.com/), which will serve as the gateway for AI bots and agents. You'll also need to configure monetization rules to set up pricing and access rules for different AI companies. To learn more, refer to the [TollBit documentation](https://docs.tollbit.com/publisher-marketplace).
