## Product

**Tender** is a payments platform and API for internet businesses. It lets companies accept payments,
send payouts, and run subscription billing through a single integration, and handles the regulatory and
financial plumbing — fraud screening, currency conversion, compliance — on their behalf.

## Who it's for

Engineers building checkout, billing, or marketplace flows, plus finance and operations teams at the
companies that run on top of those flows.

## What it does

- A unified API to accept cards and local payment methods across many countries and currencies.
- Subscription and usage-based billing with proration and invoicing.
- Payouts and money movement for marketplaces and platforms.
- Fraud detection and risk scoring built in.
- A dashboard for finance teams to see revenue, disputes, and payouts.

## What the landing page must communicate

- Breadth and reliability: this handles serious money at scale, globally.
- Developer-first: integration is clean and well-documented.
- Trust and compliance are handled — the regulated, scary parts are someone else's problem now.
- It serves both the engineers who integrate and the finance teams who reconcile.
