Target Audience: Startups, SaaS companies, and online service providers operating in countries with restrictive payment gateway regulations, especially those seeking fast setup and seamless user experience.
Monetization: Generate revenue through transaction fees, subscription plans for premium API features, and possibly tiered service packages for businesses with different needs.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Offers a quick-to-deploy, regulation-compliant payment solution with a smooth developer experience, no reliance on major global players like Stripe, and globally usable features tailored for emerging markets.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal viable product offering essential payment APIs, target early adopters and startups, gather feedback, and iteratively improve. Partner with startup hubs, promote on developer communities, and showcase success stories to expand user base.
