2M+ indie SaaS founders and solo developers in Stripe-unsupported or Stripe-restricted countries
The Problem

Developers and indie hackers in countries like India, Pakistan, South Korea, and across Africa are blocked from using Stripe, the de facto standard for SaaS payments. Alternatives like Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, and Razorpay each have their own geographic restrictions, approval processes, fee structures, and tax compliance trade-offs, leaving founders scrambling to research and compare options manually. Many hit this wall only after their product is ready to launch, causing costly delays.

Potential Solution

A unified payment infrastructure platform that detects the founder's country, business registration status, and target markets, then automatically recommends, compares, and integrates the optimal payment provider combination. The platform handles provider onboarding, abstracts the API layer so switching providers requires no code changes, and manages Merchant of Record (MoR) vs. self-compliance routing to handle VAT/GST automatically where needed.

Why Now?

Stripe's invite-only rollout in India since mid-2024 and continued exclusion of dozens of high-growth developer markets has created an urgent, underserved gap just as global indie SaaS creation is accelerating. The rise of newer MoR providers (Dodo Payments, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle) has fragmented the landscape, making a unified aggregation layer more valuable than ever.
