The Problem

Indian indie developers and micro-SaaS founders cannot accept international payments without expensive business registration and complex compliance—Stripe is invite-only, Razorpay requires a current account, and alternatives withhold funds or charge high fees. Simultaneously, global SaaS companies struggle to sell in India due to customer preference for UPI/net banking over cards, high decline rates, and regulatory barriers requiring local entities.

Potential Solution

A dual-sided payment aggregation platform that (1) lets Indian developers onboard instantly with personal ID verification to accept global cards and settle in INR/USD, and (2) provides international businesses a simple API to accept Indian payment methods (UPI, netbanking) and settle in their home currency, automatically handling GST compliance, tax calculations, and currency conversion.

Why Now?

Stripe's invite-only policy created a vacuum just as India's UPI ecosystem reaches 10B+ monthly transactions, and new RBI aggregator regulations now enable licensed players to serve unregistered developers legally while global SaaS expansion into India accelerates.

Payment options for a SaaS project
Apr 29, 2026

I’m looking for advice on alternative payment solutions for a SaaS setup. I’ve experienced some difficulties with common platforms like PayPal (account limitations) and Payoneer (frequent verification requirements). Stripe isn’t easily available in my country and can be complicated to set up. At the moment, I’m managing payments manually outside the platform, which isn’t ideal or scalable, especially with ongoing API and backend costs. What are the most reliable ways to accept payments from international clients in this situation? Is using an IBAN for international bank transfers a safe and practical choice? Are services like Western Union or MoneyGram suitable for this kind of use? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated, particularly for someone at an early stage.

Payment system for adult products
Apr 29, 2026

Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend a payment system provider for adult products? Obviously, Stripe is unlikely to agree to work with something like this. What are some good alternatives that can connect to Apple Pay and Google Pay?
