What is Dodo Payment?

Dodo Payment is a cutting-edge payment workflow management system developed by Karbon, a leading Indian fintech brand empowering startups and growth-stage companies. Designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, Dodo Payment allows companies to assign payments to vendors, freelancers, and team members in just a few clicks—without the traditional back-and-forth between teams or departments.

Think of it as a central command center for managing your company’s payouts. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails, screenshots, and multiple banking platforms, finance teams can now manage and monitor all payouts from a single dashboard—efficiently and transparently.

Key Features of Dodo Payment

Here’s what sets Dodo Payment apart from traditional payment systems:

1. Delegated Workflow System

Most businesses today still rely on manual approval flows via Slack, email, or WhatsApp. Dodo Payment replaces these unstructured methods with a streamlined system where founders and finance heads can assign payment tasks to designated team members. This delegation reduces delays and ensures accountability across teams.

2. Smart Authorization Layer

With customizable approval hierarchies, Dodo Payment ensures that no payment is made without proper oversight. Founders or CFOs can review and approve (or reject) transactions with just a tap, whether they’re in-office or on the go.

3. Unified Dashboard

All payment requests, pending approvals, completed transactions, and relevant notes live in one centralized dashboard. This eliminates confusion, ensures compliance, and enables teams to stay on the same page—even during high-volume payment cycles.

4. Vendor and Payee Management

Save vendor bank details securely within the system, reducing the need to share sensitive information over email or messaging platforms. Once a vendor is added, recurring payments become seamless and error-free.

5. Real-Time Tracking

Dodo Payment allows you to track the status of each payment in real-time. Whether it’s “Pending Approval,” “Initiated,” or “Completed,” you’ll always know the current state of every transaction.

Why Dodo Payment Matters for Growing Businesses

For startup founders and scaling companies, time is money. Every minute spent coordinating payments over Slack or verifying bank details via email is a minute not spent growing the business. Here’s how Dodo Payment delivers ROI:

⏱ Saves Time

No more chasing approvals or verifying payment details repeatedly. Everything happens in one place, reducing your team’s administrative burden.

Improves Security

By eliminating manual data sharing over unsecured channels, Dodo Payment protects sensitive financial information and reduces the risk of fraud.

Increases Transparency

With real-time status updates and a clear audit trail, you can always trace who requested what, when, and why—ensuring full accountability within your organization.

Enables Scalability

As your team grows, so does the complexity of managing payments. Dodo Payment scales with you, making it easy to onboard new users, assign roles, and maintain control.

Common Use Cases for Dodo Payment

Here are some real-world examples of how Indian startups are using Dodo Payment to streamline their financial operations:

Freelancer Payments

Marketing, content, and design teams often work with multiple freelancers. Instead of emailing the finance team every time a payout is due, team leads submit requests directly via Dodo.

Vendor Payouts

Operations teams can assign vendor payments with notes, invoices, and bank details, ensuring the finance team gets everything needed to process payments quickly.

Reimbursements

Employees can request reimbursements with proof of expense, which managers can then approve or reject—no Excel sheets or WhatsApp groups required.

One-Time Bonuses or Gifts

Founders can assign spot bonuses or gifts to employees during special events, with proper documentation and oversight.

Seamless Integration with Existing Tools

Dodo Payment doesn’t require a complete overhaul of your existing tools. It’s designed to integrate with your workflows with minimal setup. And because it’s built by the team at Karbon, it plugs into their suite of financial tools, including smart corporate cards, expense management, and credit access—all tailored for startups.
