Dodo Payments

Supercode needed to monetize its Pro and Ultra tiers with subscription billing — but payment infrastructure is a project that never ends. Beyond basic checkout, there were recurring billing cycles, dunning management, license key generation and validation, global tax compliance (VAT, GST, sales tax), multi-currency support, and customer portal access for users to manage their own subscriptions.

Building this in-house would have diverted months of engineering time away from Supercode's core AI product. What was needed was a payment partner that understood SaaS billing for developer tools — with a clean API, webhook-driven architecture, and built-in compliance for selling software globally.

Supercode integrated Dodo Payments as its billing infrastructure. Dodo's Checkout Sessions handle one-time and subscription purchases with a hosted, localized checkout experience. Webhooks drive the entire post-payment workflow — on `payment.succeeded`, Supercode generates and delivers license keys; on `subscription.renewed`, it extends access; on `subscription.cancelled`, it gracefully degrades the tier. Dodo's Better-Auth plugin ties user authentication to subscription status seamlessly.

This partnership means Dodo Payments handles all the payment complexity — checkout, recurring billing, tax compliance — while Supercode focuses on AI. Dodo benefits from being the payment backbone for a fast-growing AI dev tool, and their team gets direct feedback on what AI-native SaaS businesses need from their payment infrastructure. It's a partnership where Supercode handles the AI, Dodo handles the payments, and both teams win.
