Frequently asked questions
Who runs product and engineering at Dodo Payments?
Ayush Agarwal is the Founder and CPTO, leading product and technology strategy. Rishabh Goel, Founder and CEO, oversees the business direction. Both founders are based in Bengaluru, as listed on the company's website.
How does Dodo Payments structure its merchant-of-record service?
Dodo operates as a global merchant of record, meaning it assumes liability for tax remittance, compliance, and fraud prevention on behalf of its customers. This lets a solo developer sell into more than 190 countries without establishing a local legal entity in each jurisdiction.
Which AI-specific billing features does Dodo Payments support?
It handles credit-based billing, token metering, API-call tracking, and overage charges natively. Billing components ship as production-ready React and ShadCN SDKs, and the Sentra assistant runs inside VS Code so developers can invoke billing actions via prompts.
Is Dodo Payments limited to AI and SaaS companies?
Its platform is designed for digital products — the firm's marketing and integration tooling target AI-first and SaaS builders exclusively. It does not advertise support for physical goods or brick-and-mortar point-of-sale, making it purpose-built for software monetization.
What security certification does Dodo Payments hold?
Dodo Payments is certified PCI DSS Level 1, the highest level of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard required for organizations that process over six million card transactions annually. The firm states it maintains 99.9 percent uptime for its services, though independent verification was not publicly available at the time of this profile.
Which developer frameworks does Dodo Payments integrate with out of the box?
It offers pre-built adapters for BetterAuth, Convex, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix, TanStack, Hono, Express, and Fastify. Additionally, it provides an MCP server that allows AI models to connect directly to Dodo's billing functions.
Does Dodo Payments run an affiliate or distribution program for its merchants?
Yes. The platform includes a distribution layer that lets merchants launch storefronts, deliver digital products, and run affiliate programs from a single integration. This is positioned as a way to replace multiple standalone distribution tools.
