## What's Blocking Your Revenue?

You want to ship, not fight compliance. Here's what we solve for you:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I don't have a company. Can I still get paid?" icon="building">
    Traditional MoR services require you to register a legal entity first — that takes weeks and thousands of dollars.

    **Waffo Pancake's Solution:** We act as your Merchant of Record. You get paid directly to your bank account without needing an LLC.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Building a billing system is too complex" icon="clock">
    Subscription management, tax calculation, dunning emails, failed payment retries... that's months of engineering work.

    **Waffo Pancake's Solution:** Complete infrastructure out of the box — subscriptions, one-time payments, all handled.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Global tax compliance gives me a headache" icon="landmark">
    The US has 10,000+ tax jurisdictions, the EU has 27 countries each with VAT rules, plus constantly changing regulations...

    **Waffo Pancake's Solution:** We're the legal seller. Tax calculation, collection, and reporting are handled automatically.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Poor checkout experience is losing customers" icon="cart-arrow-down">
    Complex checkout forms, no Apple Pay/Google Pay, no multi-language support — every step loses customers.

    **Waffo Pancake's Solution:** Optimized two-step checkout flow, Apple Pay & Google Pay support, built-in 19 languages.

## Built for Developers

Install the official TypeScript SDK and start accepting payments in a few lines:

```bash theme={"system"}
npm install @waffo/pancake-ts
```

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { WaffoPancake } from "@waffo/pancake-ts";

const client = new WaffoPancake({
  merchantId: process.env.WAFFO_MERCHANT_ID!,
  privateKey: process.env.WAFFO_PRIVATE_KEY!,
});

// Create a checkout session — redirect consumer to checkoutUrl
const session = await client.checkout.createSession({
  storeId: "store_xxx",
  productId: "prod_xxx",
  productType: "onetime",
  currency: "USD",
});
// => session.checkoutUrl
```

Or call the REST API directly:

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X POST https://api.waffo.ai/v1/actions/checkout/create-session \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Store-Slug: your-store-slug" \
  -H "X-Environment: test" \
  -d '{
    "productId": "your-product-uuid",
    "productType": "onetime",
    "currency": "USD"
  }'
```
