The Opportunity

Problem

Solo fintech founders cannot integrate Stripe and Plaid for MVP payment flows without a development team.

Solution

Customize flows for subscriptions, payouts, or ACH in minutes, then copy-paste a single script tag to integrate into any site. Handles webhooks, compliance checks, and error recovery automatically.
