What is Dodo Payments?
Dodo Payments is the all-in-one Payments and Billing Platform engineered specifically for modern SaaS, AI, and Digital Products. It provides a unified engine for monetization, allowing you to launch, scale, and start collecting revenue globally in minutes, eliminating the massive engineering overhead of building custom payment, tax, and compliance infrastructure. If you are a founder, developer, or product manager focused on rapid global scaling, Dodo Payments delivers everything you need to monetize successfully.
Key Features
Dodo Payments combines global payment acceptance, flexible billing logic, and automated compliance into a single, developer-first platform.
🌎 Global Merchant of Record (MoR) and Compliance
Accept payments from over 150+ countries instantly without handling the legal complexity. Dodo Payments acts as the Merchant of Record, automatically taking on the liability for international sales tax (VAT, GST), compliance, and complex multi-currency regulations. You integrate once and immediately access global markets, ensuring you minimize risk and maximize reach across 220+ territories.
⚙️ Ultimate Billing Flexibility for Modern Products
Move beyond simple recurring plans. Dodo Payments supports all necessary monetization models—including robust Usage-Based Billing (for tokens, seats, custom metrics essential for AI products), standard subscriptions with add-ons and trials, and one-time payments. The platform provides metering, automatic calculation, invoicing, and full automation, allowing your pricing to adapt seamlessly as your customers grow.
⚡ Developer-First Integration & Adapters
Speed is critical for monetization. Dodo Payments offers powerful APIs, SDKs (Typescript, Python, Go, Java, etc.), and production-ready components. Use integration Adapters for popular frameworks like Next.js, SvelteKit, and Express to integrate core functionality in under 10 lines of code, drastically reducing time-to-market from weeks to minutes.
🧠 Sentra AI Agent for Revenue Operations
Sentra is the agentic stack from Dodo Payments that integrates billing and payments into your existing tech stack (Auth, DB, etc.). Instead of clicking through dashboards, you can prompt Sentra to handle complex tasks:
Insight Mode: Ask natural language questions like, "Why did MRR dip last week?" and receive instant explanations, charts, and suggested fixes.
Act Mode: Execute guarded actions like "Refund invoice #pay_123abc" or "Upgrade user@acme.com to Pro annual," enabling support and finance teams to resolve billing issues safely without requiring engineering intervention.
🛡️ Built-in Fraud Protection and Risk Management
Every transaction is monitored in real-time to detect and block suspicious activity. This integrated system reduces chargebacks and disputes while ensuring genuine customer transactions remain frictionless.
Use Cases
Dodo Payments enables teams across your organization to deploy, manage, and scale monetization faster and more reliably.
| User Scenario | Dodo Payments Solution & Outcome |
|---|---|
| Launching a New AI Service Globally | You need to charge based on token consumption and collect payments in Euros, Yen, and USD, while remaining compliant with local tax laws. Dodo Payments provides the Optimized for AI Products features for metering usage and the Global Merchant of Record to handle all tax and compliance liabilities instantly, letting you focus purely on product development. |
| Accelerating Frontend Development | Your development team needs to build a professional, accessible subscription dashboard and pricing page quickly. They utilize the Billing SDK components (built for React/ShadCN) and the No-Code Checkout templates to deploy a fully branded, mobile-friendly payment experience in days rather than weeks of custom UI work. |
| Streamlining RevOps and Support | Your finance team needs to track churn anomalies, and your support team frequently handles refund requests. Using the Sentra Act Mode, they simply prompt the platform to execute complex actions or pull precise, centralized analytics, reducing operational friction and improving customer satisfaction without needing to access sensitive backend databases. |
