Meet Sentra by @dodopayments.
Building billing & payments shouldn’t take weeks - it should take minutes.
Sentra lives inside VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. It sets up subscriptions, usage-based billing, and one-time payments for your SaaS or AI app - straight from your editor.
Skip the boilerplate. Just prompt.

Today I made my first internet money off my project, https://t.co/xaLawQA0bi. It's small, but it's such an awesome and unreal feeling that somebody is paying for something built! 🥳🥳
This is only within 3 hours

we have a new case study out.
@HiTw93 built Mole as a shell script to clean up his own Mac. over the years it became one of the most popular open-source Mac utilities on GitHub. 135,000+ stars across his projects.
when he launched the paid Mac app, the problem wasn't demand. it was selling from China to the rest of the world.
→ 70% of his community was outside China
→ most payment providers don't support Chinese developers selling globally
→ setting up an overseas entity wasn't realistic for a solo dev launching a product built over weekends
→ international tax compliance across 16 countries? impossible to manage alone
he integrated @dodopayments as his merchant of record. checkout, licensing, and payments were live within days.
the results:
→ 10,000+ paying customers in under two months
→ 16 countries served
→ zero marketing spend. all community trust and word of mouth
→ tax, compliance, invoicing, and license key management handled automatically
"without Dodo, I would have either limited sales to China only. losing 70% of my customers. or spent months setting up a Singapore company with accounting support."

we just shipped feature flag entitlements on @dodopayments.
your billing system already knows who's paying. why are you running a separate feature flag service to decide who gets access?
attach a flag like "advanced_reports" to a product. customer pays, the flag is instantly delivered. customer cancels, it's revoked. no external platform. no OAuth. no delivery step.
how it works:
→ create a feature flag with a feature_id your app checks
→ attach it to any product (subscription or one-time)
→ on purchase, the grant is created and delivered instantly. no pending state, no way for delivery to fail
→ on cancellation or refund, the grant is revoked automatically
→ check via API or sync with webhooks
you can also attach metadata to a flag. limits, quotas, tier names. the metadata is snapshotted at the moment the grant is created. edit the entitlement later and only future customers get the new config. existing customers keep what they paid for.
one API call gives you the flag and its configuration. no second lookup.
Applied!!
Thought the razorpay support has increased tremendously, the hype for @dodopayments is for real.
FOMO pressure as almost everyone in our startup network started using DoDo.
we're hiring a developer relations engineer at @dodopayments. Bangalore, in-office.
our product is an API. the developer experience is the product experience. we need someone who can bridge the gap between our platform and the developers building on it.
what the role looks like:
→ build sample apps, starter templates, and reference integrations
→ write quickstarts, API guides, tutorials, and SDK docs
→ own the developer onboarding journey and reduce time-to-first-integration
→ be the technical voice in our community. X, Discord, GitHub, forums
→ triage developer-reported issues and partner with engineering to fix them
→ dogfood our APIs and SDKs. catch the friction before customers do
2-5 years. hands-on technical. you can build a working integration against an API and explain it clearly.
50,000+ builders use Dodo Payments. 190+ countries. 80+ currencies. 40+ payment methods. the docs you write and tools you build are the first thing every customer touches.

Cha-ching! 💸 @dodopayments just notify me, I love the sound!
My first paid user just arrived!
This is how I validate projects.
I don’t wait for thousands of signups or months of “perfecting” a product. The moment someone is willing to pay, I know I’m solving a real problem.
One paying customer teaches you more than a hundred people saying, “This is a great idea.”
Now it’s time to keep listening, improving, and earning the next customer.

Huge thanks to @dodopayments for making the setup so smooth and taking care of all the crazy compliance hurdles.
