Stripe is often seen as the gold standard for international and cross-border payments. But in reality, many founders, especially those outside the US, have a different experience: Merchants are frequently offboarded without much explanation. Stripe isn’t available or fully supported in many countries. Even when available, setting up a legal entity, handling tax compliance, or managing FX fees can be a huge overhead. We built Dodo Payments to solve exactly this. (https://www.dodopayments.com) It’s a Merchant of Record (MoR) platform designed to help digital founders and indie…

I built this library and tool several years ago. Some event where I was a co-organizer needed pre-payment for the orders, and to make this easy without going the path of an online payment service, I sent automatic mails with payment QR codes included. The CLI also (by default) generates QR codes in the terminal, which I use often when an invoice needs to be paid: copy all necessary fields as CLI flags, generate the QR in the terminal, scan with the phone, double check everything and go! Maybe paying should not be this easy...

Kelviq▲530Hi HN, We've been building Kelviq for the last couple of months and it's finally ready to share. Kelviq is a Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform that you can integrate without building a custom webhook-to-database syncing layer. Along with handling global taxes, checkout, and compliance, it acts as the real-time source of truth for your users feature access and usage credit balances. Why we built this: Through our other project, ParityDeals, we saw firsthand how much founders struggle with billing infrastructure. Integrating a payment gateway is easy, but actually building…

Paritydeals▲331Stripe is great, but is not simple. You end up handling many webhooks, mirroring Stripe data, tracking subscription states, and hardcoding feature checks. Managing upgrades, downgrades, migrations, overrides, and grandfathering often needs custom scripts. ParityDeals keeps that billing logic out of your app. Once you integrate ParityDeals SDK, you can manage everything from a single dashboard. No further code changes required. I'd love to hear your feedback

Accordio▲141Hey HN, I'm Roma, 21, from Bucharest, Romania. At 20 I was running a 12-person design studio doing €250K/year. Then I lost €50K+ to clients who never paid. No contracts, just trust. Studio collapsed, I took €40K in debt. That experience led me to build Accordio – an AI-powered contract and payment platform for freelancers. The core idea: paste your meeting notes, AI extracts scope/deliverables/payment terms and generates a proposal. Client accepts → contract auto-generates. Contract signed → invoice auto-generates. Everything interlinked, no re-entering data across 4 different…

I'm a solopreneur and I made it very easy to integrate a credit system into your apps and games using Creduse. I built Creduse because more and more users want pay-as-you-go models, and founders need new ways to increase user engagement or nicely limit cost-intensive features (see AI). Creduse is built by a developer for developers. I hope it will help as many startups as possible. Feedback are very much appreciated. Francesco
