Dots is a payouts platform for companies sending money to large numbers of contractors, creators, and other recipients worldwide. It combines recipient onboarding with identity verification and sanctions screening, payout delivery through 300+ payment rails in 190+ countries and 135 currencies, tax form collection and 1099 filing in the US and Canada, and fraud controls. Integration options range from a no-code dashboard to a one-line embed, drop-in iFrame components, and a fully white-labeled API with a unified ledger.

Payouts can be sent individually, in CSV batches, via API, or through branded payout links, with intelligent routing across rails including bank transfers, PayPal, Venmo, RTP, UPI, PIX, mobile money, digital wallets, and stablecoins. Recipients get a self-serve portal for tracking and support, while reporting and reconciliation sync to ERPs.

Dots is aimed at marketplaces, gig platforms, creator tools, SaaS companies, AI training and data labeling operations, expert networks, and affiliate programs. It is packaged in three editions: a Core plan with a monthly fee, a Scale plan with a higher monthly fee, and a custom-priced Enterprise plan. Scale and Enterprise include a dedicated Slack channel with support staff, engineers, and founders.
