A character or business, often the protagonist, performs a service or supplies a good of reasonable demand, and expects a reasonable payment in return. In many cultures, particularly those that appear in works of fiction, "payment" means "money". Unfortunately, not everyone who needs the character's goods or services can pay with money. In many cases, this is due to poverty; although there are other circumstances in which a potential client simply cannot (or will not) use standard currency. In these cases, the client will present a non-monetary gift to the character as a "payment" of sorts. Sometimes the character does this willingly, as they are good-hearted and like helping out those in need and/or has a familiar connection to the client. Other times, the character does this grudgingly or may attempt to avoid doing this altogether, possibly because of greed, or possibly because they are foreseeing their own impending poverty from accepting too many gifts instead of money. In still other situations, the character may flat-out refuse the gift and deny the service, or the character may prefer the gift over money, or the character may accept it because the person making the offer is powerful, crazy, and/or potentially dangerous. This trope can also be Played for Laughs if the client offers the character something ridiculous and/or worthless. The one thing that distinguishes a Pro Bono Barter from a regular barter is the pro bono; that is, the character accepting a gift instead of money is essentially providing a good or service for free, because they live in a culture where bartering is uncommon or flat-out abnormal ("pro bono" is short for "Pro bono publico", Latin for "For the public good"). This is often the case even with items of high value, since the character may or may not have the ability (or the heart) to exchange the gift for money. Compare Work Off the Debt, a much more specific trope in which a character must pay off a food bill by washing dishes or performing some other menial job around a restaurant, and Hospitality for Heroes, where someone noticing the good deed rewards the individual with whatever they can. See also Food as Bribe and Sex for Services. Has nothing to do with U2’s frontman or Sonny. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): Played for Laughs. In the Misadventures arc, Team Chaotix initially accepts the offer to take Knuckles' case of hunting down his Echidna artifacts after the promise of being paid. When the whole mess is sorted (which causes them to almost miss their dinner plans with Vanilla), Vector asks how Knuckles intends to pay them. Knuckles, being an echidna who lives on a reclusive island (and possibly no money to his name), offers them fresh seasonal fruits, as well as stuff foraged from Mushroom Hill. Espio then consoles Vector about how these are essentially free groceries, and that it will help the perpetually broke Detective Agency's savings in the long run, to which the crocodile begrudgingly accepts. | |

In the Nancy Drew series, this trope often justifies extraneous puzzles and minigames. It's especially prevalent in Secret of the Old Clock, which is set during the Great Depression: mail recipients can't tip Nancy, so they offer things like nails or a glass of fresh milk. | |

In The Rising of the Shield Hero, Naofumi always demands payment for saving others but frequently accepts non-monetary payments such as information or goods. After saving a poor town from being ruled by Motoyasu who, on Malty's advice, would institute a heavy toll on entering or leaving, Naofumi took a cart as payment so he'd have a way to transport goods more easily. | |

This is the initial problem for Ford Fairlane, who constantly receives tacky (albeit valuable) gifts from clients who need his services as a Rock-n-Roll Detective. Rather strange in this instance, as Fairlane's clients are almost all successful rock stars and should have no problem making standard payments. | |

In Daredevil (2003), Matt Murdock is a defense attorney whose personal morals often lead him to work with the impoverished. Consequently, his clients are sometimes unable to afford his fees and will pay with goods instead. Murdock's partner, Foggy Nelson, complains about receiving fish instead of money from a client during an early scene, and their law office is stacked full of goods instead of law books, which somewhat hurts their professional image. | |

This is standard operating procedure for the witches in Discworld: They also encourage this in others as well, since a major role of Witch is to be a community leader taking care of the impoverished or those who fall through the cracks. Their payment may be that you give someone else food, or check in on them once a week. (It's also noted that it's one way to accept food (or gifts) they have no immediate need for- they "store it in other people", until they want a favor from the person that benefits.) |

Massey Reynstein from Schlock Mercenary once raised a lawsuit against the government for the benefit of a fisherman whose boat was blown up by a trigger-happy SWAT team. He took a box of explosives for his trouble. And used them on the defence lawyers (which indirectly pays him in cash, for the bounty the Toughs have been authorized to collect on the Attorney Collective). | |

A Moon and World Apart: While the Lunar Republic operates mostly on a standard barter system (they work and receive what they need, with public services like the police and medical care not requiring any particular payment — the citizens get it automatically in return for the regular work they do), individuals can also build up personal credit via trading favors, or donate their time and skill in advance, to be called in later. | |

Occasionally on the game show Deal or No Deal, a contestant will be offered something tangible that they or a family member wants in addition to money.

Doubly subverted in "Carter and Ferryman", a German children song (around 1900) featured e.g. in Die Sendung mit der Maus. The Ferryman asks for a piece out of every box as payment, which the carter happily agrees. When they are over, the carter pays the ferryman with hot air - the boxes are all empty. (The double subversion being that the ferryman is good-natured and laughingly says that with all that wind his ferry will now go doubly fast.) | |

Unsounded (Chapter 9, Page 18) features the horrifying LP, specialized Cresce coins that have no rare metals and are magically gene-locked to ensure that only the people who earned the money can spend it, with the magics and production fully controlled by the royalty. The end result is that all Crescean citizens are economically enslaved. Stockyard claims that he has become the city's new mafia by opening a brothel because there is no other illegitimate way for the citizens of his town to earn real money. | |

In the Book of Genesis, Jacob falls in love with his cousin Rachel. In those days, brides were "purchased" from their fathers (or nearest male relatives) with (variously) land, precious metals, valuable cloth, livestock, etc. Without this payment, the marriage would not be valid, as marriage back then was primarily a business transaction. Jacob, however, had fled from his home after stealing his brother's inheritance, and left Canaan for Padan-Aram with little more than the clothes on his back. So he agrees that he'll work for her father Laban for seven years, unpaid, in exchange for Rachel's hand (and presumably the rest of her). Laban, however, decides to be greedy and switch her older sister Leah under the bridal veil. When Jacob confronts him, Laban explains that it's not the custom in Padan-Aram to marry off a younger sister before an older one...and that he'll give Jacob the right bride this time...in exchange for another seven years of unpaid work. He winds up with an Unwanted Harem consisting of Leah and Rachel, plus their servant-girls Bilhah and Zilpah. Leah and Rachel convince him to leave Padan-Aram...and Laban. | |

Variations of this tend to pop up from time to time on Burn Notice. Michael Weston rarely accepts payment for his services, but has, on occasion, been known to accept gifts. Examples include covering a month's rent on his apartment, a car (admittedly useful) and a bag full of cell phones (also useful). One reward came as a particularly pleasant surprise to him: a lifetime supply of yogurt. |
