What is Dodo Payments

Dodo Payments is a Merchant of Record (MoR). That means Dodo is the legal seller on every transaction, handles sales tax registration and calculation across all jurisdictions, remits taxes to authorities, and manages card-network disputes and chargebacks. As a developer, you don't build a sales-tax engine or dispute-handling system. You create checkout sessions, listen to webhooks, and grant access when payment succeeds.
