Implementing Dual Payment Gateways: Lemon Squeezy + Dodo Payments

Why Multiple Payment Gateways?

Selling globally means accepting payments locally. While Lemon Squeezy handles international payments beautifully, Indian customers prefer UPI and local cards. Enter Dodo Payments.

Architecture Overview

I built an abstraction layer that routes payments based on user location:

interface PaymentProvider {
  createCheckout(options: CheckoutOptions): Promise;
  handleWebhook(payload: WebhookPayload): Promise;
  cancelSubscription(subscriptionId: string): Promise;
}
class LemonSqueezyProvider implements PaymentProvider {
  // Implementation
}
class DodoPaymentsProvider implements PaymentProvider {
  // Implementation
}

Lemon Squeezy Integration

Perfect for international customers. Handles tax calculations, invoicing, and chargebacks automatically.

Dodo Payments Setup

For the Indian market - supports UPI, Indian credit/debit cards, and net banking with lower fees.
