The method for providing micro-billing for internet services includes establishing a micro-billing agent (MBA) within a user's access point (i.e., Internet Service Provider—ISP). The MBA contains the user's billing information and keeps that information exclusive to the MBA. By retaining the user's information with their access point, the user can conduct more secure online transactions, particularly for low cost transactions, without the inconvenience of inputting or transferring personal purchasing information to the online store. According to one aspect, the purchase page may be previously encoded with a micro-billing option which would enable the MBA to obtain user authorizations in online transactions in a more streamlined and secure manner.
