paying
Handing over money
Paying describes giving money in exchange for goods or services, or discharging a debt.
A paying customer actually spends money, unlike browsers or freeloaders.
A paying job provides income.
Something that is paying earns enough to justify itself: The farm was barely paying.
Non-monetary uses follow the same logic of giving what's due: paying attention, paying respects, paying a compliment.
