I came across a conversation between two developers discussing how frustrating it was to deal with Stripe integration on existing support platforms. For creators in India, especially those relying on UPI, the experience felt unnecessarily complex—and sometimes, just broken.
What stood out even more was the discomfort around platform commissions. Support, in its true sense, isn’t supposed to feel like a cut is being taken from appreciation.
That’s when the idea took shape.
This project BuyMeAChai was built to address those specific friction points:
No third-party payment gateways, no hidden deductions, and no complex onboarding. Just a simple, direct way to receive support using UPI, with a familiar, creator-first experience.
It’s not trying to be a disruptor. It’s trying to be simpler.
More aligned with how we already share value with each other here.
If you’re curious, feel free to check it out.
And if you do, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what you think—good, bad, or in between.
