one-off purchase
From experience, 'achat à l'acte' is a payment or purchase that stands in contrast to subscription. I.e. in the case of a newspaper or magazine, it would be a single purchase from a newsagent or bookstore, rather than a longer term subscription.

French term (edited):
achat à l\'acte
pay-per-item
Compare with pay-per-view.
As opposed to bulk buying, in the case of purchasing companies' financial records over the internet - most companies offer, say, 40 records for a fixed sum, but very few offer pay-per-unit or pay-per-item, or unitary billing.
A partir de là, qu’on s’en félicite ou qu’on s’en plaigne, il a fallu trouver une solution de paiement pour le PPV (achat à l’acte- Pay Per View). ...
