Sentra by Dodo Payments
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…

Sentra is our AI Agent that integrates Billing & Payments by handling SDKs, APIs, Adapters, and plugs into your tech stack (Auth, DB etc). It extracts revenue insights such as growth drivers and takes customer actions like refunds, upgrades, and credits. Software won't be clicked through, it will be prompted into existence. Developers and teams will work alongside agents that write code, wire infra, and execute safe changes. Billing & Payments have been left behind. They're infra-heavy, compliance-bound, and legacy systems can't be rebuilt from scratch. Sentra is our answer: a fast, agentic layer for billing & payments that finally feels modern.

Paritydeals2025 · paritydeals.com · ▲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

Small Transfers – charge from 0.000001 USD per request for your SaaS2025 · smalltransfers.com · ▲198Hi HN, I built Small Transfers, a payments platform for SaaS / API makers who want to bill customers per request instead of pushing them into subscriptions or pre-buy packages. *Why?* - Many customers hate subscriptions and/or want to use a service occasionally. - Traditional payment processors add a fixed fee to every charge, making charges below 1 USD impractical. - Stripe UBB tracks usage, but you still need to write your own auth, add spending limits, and each merchant charges cards separately (extra fees for customers). *How it works?* - Each merchant has a Small Transfers…
I built the tool I wished existed for moving Stripe between countries2025 · stripemove.com · ▲109In late 2024, I had to set up a new Stripe account because I incorporated my company in a different country. Turns out it's not as simple as just changing the country in a dropdown, you have to start from scratch. I had hundreds of users and using Stripe's dashboard to add all of the products, prices, coupons and subscriptions manually would take ages. I contacted a couple of services that help with this kind of migration, but their quotes were way over my budget. My next option was to use Stripe's API, which is very powerful but also very complicated. I'm a designer who can code, but I…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
