Dodo Payments is a developer-focused payments and billing platform designed to help SaaS and AI companies monetize their products globally without building complex payment infrastructure.

It provides an end-to-end system for handling subscriptions, one-time payments, usage-based billing, and checkout flows, while also acting as a Merchant of Record (MoR) to manage taxes, compliance, fraud prevention, and cross-border payments.

The platform abstracts away much of the operational complexity involved in accepting payments internationally, allowing developers to integrate a single API or SDK and start collecting revenue quickly. It supports flexible billing models such as credits, seats, tokens, and metered usage, making it especially suitable for modern AI and software products. Dodo Payments also includes tools like Sentra, an AI-powered assistant that helps developers design and manage billing systems directly within their workflow.
