How to recieve payments for a MSI or EXE microsoft store app

Question

I've made an app and listed it on the Microsoft store and selected the Pricing as Paid: one-time payment but there is no option about actual dollar amount price. The app in the store says paid in search results but can be downloaded for free. Is there anyway to set that the app costs 99 cents to download from the store?

Apparently, you can only use the microsoft billing mechanism for MSIX apps not exe or msi apps. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1259571/how-do-i-set-the-price-of-a-windows-app-in-the-mic. The section to select Pricing in the Availability section for MSI apps is more of a note.
