# How to improve API subscription conversion

API buyers hesitate when they cannot predict setup time, cost, reliability, or support quality. Improve conversion by removing those doubts before checkout.

## Conversion blockers

* The first request is not obvious.
* Pricing is hard to predict.
* Limits and errors are missing from the docs.
* The API has no clear production use case.
* Buyers cannot tell who supports the service.

## Fix the buyer experience

Start each API page with the use case, then show a working request and response. Put pricing, limits, and authentication near the start of the evaluation path. Link to error handling before buyers run into failures.

Rock API sellers can use these docs as buyer-facing patterns: [Quickstart](/quickstart), [Authentication](/authentication), [Pricing and billing](/pricing-and-billing), and [Errors and rate limits](/errors-and-rate-limits).

  Make sure buyers know how your API behaves when requests fail or traffic grows.
