Many users in India wonder if it's possible to pay for popular international SaaS tools like Notion, Airtable, or Figma using UPI. Currently, most of these companies are based in the United States and rely on traditional payment gateways like Stripe or Checkout.com. Because these gateways are primarily licensed in the US, they often lack direct access to UPI, which is a uniquely Indian payment method. As a result, Indian customers are frequently forced to pay in US dollars using credit cards, which can be both inconvenient and expensive due to currency conversion fees and international transaction charges.

However, this experience can be completely transformed if these global companies onboard with a merchant of record like Dodo Payments. By leveraging our global payments infrastructure, non-Indian companies can offer a truly localized payment experience to their Indian users. This means you could pay for your favorite digital products and software subscriptions via UPI in INR, just as easily as you would for any local service.

Dodo Payments bridges the gap between international businesses and local payment preferences. As a merchant of record, we handle the complexities of cross-border transactions and regulatory compliance, making it simple for global SaaS providers to accept UPI. This not only improves the checkout experience for the customer but also helps businesses increase their conversion rates in the rapidly growing Indian market. With Dodo Payments, the future of international payments is local, seamless, and accessible to everyone.
