Dodo Payments for Startups — Up to 12 Months Free Credits
infoAbout this deal
Dodo Payments for Startups is the billing and payments platform built for AI and SaaS founders who need to sell globally from day one.

What's Included: • Up to 12 months of free credits, applied upfront (or until you reach your credit cap) • Forever startup pricing — preferential rates that continue after free credits end • Full platform with no tier-gating: credit-based billing, usage metering, subscriptions, and 40+ payment methods • Global tax, VAT/GST handling, chargebacks, and fraud protection as Merchant of Record • Checkout in multiple languages; PCI DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure How to claim: Apply in about two minutes at dodopayments.com/startups with your founder name and work email (personal inboxes are not accepted). Dodo reviews applications and typically replies within 3 business days. After approval, complete standard business verification; credits and startup pricing activate on onboarding. Note: Credit amounts, duration, and final eligibility are set by Dodo Payments and may vary by application. Confirm current terms on the program page.
