The Problem

Indian SaaS founders are locked out of Stripe (invite-only, frequent rejections) and forced to cobble together Razorpay for domestic payments and PayPal for international ones. This fragmented setup breaks subscription billing, increases fees, and creates a poor checkout experience for global customers.

Potential Solution

A payment orchestration layer purpose-built for emerging-market SaaS founders that unifies Razorpay, PayPal, Paddle, and other gateways behind a single API. It handles recurring subscription billing, automatic currency routing, and tax/MoR compliance so founders integrate once and accept payments globally without needing Stripe.

Why Now?

India's SaaS ecosystem is booming with thousands of new indie founders building for global markets, yet Stripe remains invite-only in India with increasing rejection rates. The gap between founder ambition and payment infrastructure access is widening rapidly.

You already have UPI. Why set up a payment gateway just to sell online?
That’s a fair question — and honestly, if all someone needs is to receive money on UPI, they probably don’t need IndiePay. The problem we’re solving is everything around that payment. For example, say a yoga instructor wants to run a weekend workshop. Today she usually has to either create a page somewhere, set up a payment gateway, or manage everything manually on Instagram/WhatsApp — registrations, names, payment screenshots, who paid, who didn’t, etc. With IndiePay, she gets a proper checkout flow. She can share one link, people register, enter their details, pay directly to her UPI, and IndiePay verifies the payment and keeps everything organised. Same idea for home sellers, tutors, creators, pre-orders, etc. So we’re not trying to replace GPay/PhonePe/Paytm. We’re adding the checkout + order + verification layer around direct UPI payments, without becoming the payment middleman.
