The Dodo Digest: From Global SaaS Taxes to Pickleball

Hello from Dodo Payments,

There’s been a lot happening at our end recently and I know we didn't show up in your inbox last week but we’re switching things up: Dodo Digest is now bi-weekly, so you’ll get all the important updates in one neat place, every two weeks.

The way SaaS businesses handle taxes is being completely reshaped in 2025. With AI-driven platforms, evolving VAT/GST frameworks, and rising expectations around real-time invoicing, staying compliant globally is no longer a nice-to-have it’s non-negotiable.

That’s exactly what Divyani Marothia from our Finance team broke down in a blog we published this week. 

This is a must-read for anyone building or scaling a SaaS business today: https://dodopayments.com/blogs/global-vat-gst-ai-saas-2025 

Last Saturday we hit pause on shipping and did something a little different.
We hosted our first-ever Founders Mile: Smash Edition: a pickleball morning with some of the sharpest (and surprisingly sporty) folks in the startup ecosystem.

Honestly? Felt good to step off Slack and onto the court for a bit. Shipping is fun. But so is showing up, in person.

Grateful to everyone who made it out.

Over the last 10 days, we shipped 10 powerful drops, one every day,  to help you integrate faster and build smarter with Dodo Payments. 

• Next.js Adapter
• Nuxt Adapter
• Express Adapter
• Svelte Adapter
• Astro Adapter
• TanStack Adapter
• Slack Integration
• Resend Integration
• Zapier Integration
• Better-Auth Plugin

And the best part? We’re just getting started. 

Stay tuned every day at 7pm IST / 1:30pm UTC for our daily drops. 

Product Updates 

1. Adaptive Currency just got better – We've added support for 7 new currencies to help you localize payments across even more regions: MVR, MUR, ZAR, PHP, FJD, QAR, and MYR

2. Checkout in Turkish  – Turkish language support is now live on the Dodo Payments checkout page. One less barrier for your customers.

3. New Proration Mode – You can now use difference_immediately when changing plans via the API. It charges the difference right away instead of waiting for the next cycle.
