Dodo Payments

Dodo Payments: the Stripe of emerging markets

Sign up: https://go.dodo.pe/payments-signup

Dodo Payments is a Merchant of Record: as the legal seller, it calculates, collects and pays US sales tax and VAT everywhere else, and sends the invoices. You sign up as an individual, no company needed. Verification is an ID plus a selfie and usually takes 1-3 business days; you can build in test mode while it runs. Payouts go out on the 4th and 18th to your bank or Payoneer.

1. Let AI set it up (Claude Code)

claude plugins marketplace add dodopayments/dodo-agent-plugin
claude plugins install dodopayments@dodopayments

Then tell Claude what you want, e.g. "Add Dodo Payments checkout to my Next.js app."
