# How Dodo Payments helped Vibe3D double conversions and reach 150+ countries > Building the best AI rendering tool is one challenge. Getting architects around the world to pay for it is another. - **Company**: Vibe3D - **Industry**: AI - **Payment provider**: Dodo Payments (Merchant of Record) - **Published**: 2026-06-02 - **URL**: https://dodopayments.com/case-studies/vibe3d ## Key Metrics - **2x** -- Conversion rate, immediately after switching - **150+** -- Countries with paying customers - **1 day** -- To go live with Dodo Payments --- ## The Company **Vibe3D: AI rendering built for architects and designers** Vibe3D was founded by Brijesh, Arun, and Smit--three engineers who have been building together for more than fifteen years. After working together at Byju's following the acquisition of their first startup, Flynx, the team came together again to solve a problem they had seen firsthand in the architecture industry. Professional rendering is expensive, slow, and often outsourced. Architects can spend weeks moving between sketches, 3D models, and rendering agencies, with costs running into thousands of dollars per project. Existing AI tools weren't built for professionals. They produced impressive-looking images, but lacked the consistency and accuracy architects need when presenting designs to clients. Vibe3D was built differently. The platform helps architects and interior designers generate professional-grade renders in minutes, reducing project timelines from months to days while eliminating expensive rendering workflows. Launched in 2025, Vibe3D is now profitable, bootstrapped, and generating $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue. ## The Challenge ### Global demand, but a checkout that couldn't keep up From the beginning, Vibe3D attracted customers from outside India. Architects and designers from Europe, North America, and other international markets were signing up and trying to purchase plans. The problem was that their existing payment setup wasn't designed for a global customer base. International payments were difficult to process, creating friction at checkout and preventing interested users from converting into customers. > "Most of our customers were coming from a global audience and international payments were not being handled well. That's when we explored other options, and Dodo Payments seemed very promising. We integrated immediately, and our conversion rate doubled." > > -- Brijesh, Co-Founder, Vibe3D Beyond payments, the team also needed a way to manage tax compliance across multiple countries without adding operational overhead. For a three-person team focused on product development, handling VAT, sales tax, and international compliance manually wasn't realistic. ## The Solution ### A payments platform built for global SaaS After evaluating multiple options, Vibe3D chose Dodo Payments. The team needed more than a payment gateway--they needed a system that could support a global customer base while handling compliance behind the scenes. As a Merchant of Record, Dodo handles: - Global payment acceptance - Recurring subscription billing - Tax collection and remittance - Compliance across international markets - Direct access to the Dodo team One of the biggest benefits was the ability to serve both international customers and Indian users through a single payment infrastructure. The impact was visible almost immediately. > "I shared it on Twitter as well, our conversion rate doubled immediately after integrating Dodo Payments. That was a huge thing for us when we were just starting out." > > -- Brijesh, Co-Founder, Vibe3D ## The Implementation ### Live in one day Smit led the implementation and completed the integration in just one to two days. The onboarding process was straightforward, and the team was able to begin accepting payments almost immediately. What stood out wasn't just the speed of integration--it was what happened afterwards. As Vibe3D expanded globally, the payment infrastructure continued to scale without requiring significant changes or maintenance. The team also maintained a direct feedback loop with Dodo, sharing product suggestions and working closely with the team on checkout improvements. > "We have paying customers from more than 150 countries, we had not expected that at all. We thought it would be 10 to 20 countries." > > -- Brijesh, Co-Founder, Vibe3D ## The Results ### From local payments to a global business Dodo Payments didn't just improve checkout performance--it enabled Vibe3D to operate globally. ### Conversion rate doubled The most immediate impact was a significant increase in conversion. Once international customers could complete purchases without friction, conversion rates doubled. For a bootstrapped startup relying primarily on product-led growth, that improvement translated directly into revenue. ### Customers in 150+ countries What began as an expectation of serving a handful of international markets turned into a truly global business. Today, Vibe3D has paying customers in more than 150 countries. The team estimates that nearly every supported market contributes revenue. ### $20K MRR, while staying bootstrapped Vibe3D has grown to $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue without raising external funding. The company continues to scale through organic growth, product quality, and a global customer base supported by Dodo Payments. ### Tax and compliance handled automatically Selling into more than 150 countries creates significant compliance obligations. With Dodo operating as Merchant of Record, tax collection and remittance are handled automatically, allowing the team to stay focused on product development. > "We really hope that the world's biggest payment organization can come out of India and we hope that is Dodo Payments." > > -- Arun, Co-Founder, Vibe3D For Vibe3D, Dodo Payments transformed a product with global demand into a business with global revenue. --- ## About Dodo Payments Dodo Payments is the billing and payments platform for AI-first companies.
