Hey indie hackers!
I'm Emmanuel, the solo developer behind PayPoint.
The Problem
Managing 10+ brand deals a month using spreadsheets was becoming a total headache. Between keeping track of who owes what, calculating expenses per deal, creating invoices, and constantly chasing late payments manually, too much time was being lost to admin work. Generic invoicing tools weren't built with the creator workflow in mind.
The Solution: PayPoint
I built PayPoint specifically to streamline brand deal operations for creators:
Deal Tracking: Log every brand deal, set clear due dates, and instantly see who owes you money.
Quick Invoicing: Generate professional PDF invoices and send them directly to brands in just two clicks.
Automated Reminders (Pro): Automatically sends follow-up emails for overdue invoices so you never have to manually chase payments.
Frictionless Payment Portal: Brands can view and pay invoices directly without needing to sign up or create an account.
Expense Calculation: Easily calculate expenses per deal to track actual profitability.
Why I'm Posting & What I Need From You
Before spending money on a custom domain, formal incorporation, and further infrastructure costs, I want to validate this properly with the community.
Validation: If you are a creator or work with them, is this a pain point you actively experience, or do spreadsheets/existing software handle this well enough?
Beta Testers: I am looking for a few early testers to try the current build, and give raw, honest feedback on what's missing or what could be improved.
Feature Gap: What essential feature would make this a must-have tool for your workflow?
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or critiques in the comments!
The fact that you're validating before spending on incorporation and infrastructure makes the current stage pretty clear. Curious what creators tell you they currently use to manage this.
Yes just trying to validate if the idea is worth the time used in production
That makes sense. Validation before committing resources is the important part at this stage. Curious what you learn from the first few users.
