The Problem

Developers and indie founders in countries like India, Pakistan, Morocco, and other emerging markets cannot use Stripe or PayPal, blocking them from monetizing their SaaS products globally. Existing alternatives like Razorpay have poor support, Paddle rejects new businesses without transaction history, and local gateways require expensive company registration and compliance. This creates a massive barrier preventing capable developers from launching revenue-generating products.

Potential Solution

Build a payment aggregation platform that acts as a unified layer connecting multiple regional and global payment gateways. The platform would handle merchant onboarding with minimal documentation requirements, automatically route transactions through the optimal gateway based on the customer's location, and provide a single API integration for subscriptions, one-time payments, and marketplace splits—regardless of where the founder is based.

Why Now?

The global indie developer and SaaS founder movement is exploding, with AI tools enabling anyone to build products. However, payment infrastructure hasn't kept pace with this democratization, creating acute pain for the fastest-growing developer populations in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Building connections to all relevant payment methods and card schemes (Visa,Mastercard, Amex, etc) worldwide. Removing the complexity for our businesses to integrate them separately. Create a high-available, highly-scalable payment processing platform and connect to hundreds of external APIs. Given our global scale, automating all core processes to match funds to the penny, is a continuous challenge.
