Why platforms switch to Dots

The build-vs-buy math has already been done.

01

Cut onboarding drop-off by 20–40%

White-labeled payee onboarding keeps creators inside your brand experience — identity verification, payout method selection, and tax form collection happen in one 5-minute flow.

02

Eliminate tax season chaos

Dots auto-collects and validates W-9s and W-8s during onboarding, then files 1099s automatically — customers report 70% fewer tax season support tickets.

03

Pay creators the way they actually want

Venmo, ACH, Cash App, USDC, Interac, local rails in LatAm and Southeast Asia — payees pick their method, and funds move without your ops team touching a spreadsheet.

Built for your role

Where Dots fits in your organization

Head of Payments / VP Ops

Expanding internationally and your payout stack can't keep up

Replace fragmented PayPal batch payouts and manual bank transfers with a single API that supports local payment methods in every new market you enter.

CTO / Engineering Lead

Your internal payout scripts are now a full-time job

Dots offers clean, well-documented APIs so your team can deprecate in-house payment hacks and stop firefighting edge cases for international payees.

Head of Finance / Controller

Last tax season was a scramble — this one doesn't have to be

Automated W-9/W-8 collection, validation, and 1099 filing replace the year-end spreadsheet chaos and eliminate IRS penalty risk.

Growth / Community Lead

Creators are churning and payouts keep coming up in exit surveys

When payees choose their own payout method and get paid faster through a branded experience, they stay — and they tell other creators.
