Getting paid globally is still harder than it should be.
If you’re a freelancer or small business owner, you often need:
- a website
- a payment processor
- multiple tools for different payment methods
And even then, it’s fragmented.
So I asked a simple question:
What if getting paid globally was as easy as sending a link?
That’s how LOOP was born.
💡 What is LOOP?
LOOP is a simple payment tool that lets you:
→ Create a payment link
→ Share it with anyone
→ Get paid globally
No website required.
⚙️ What LOOP Can Do
- Create invoices with multiple items
- Generate shareable payment links
-
Accept payments via:
- Card
- Bank transfer
- Crypto (USDT / USDC)
Show real-time currency conversion
Generate downloadable receipts
Track transactions and balances
Send and receive memos
Get real-time notifications
🌍 Why This Matters
Many people across emerging markets don’t have:
- websites
- payment infrastructure
- access to global payment systems
LOOP removes that barrier completely.
You just:
create → share → get paid
🛠️ How I Built It
I built LOOP using MeDo, an AI-powered application generation platform.
Instead of manually coding everything, I focused on:
- product flow
- user experience
- system design
Key pieces:
- React + Tailwind + shadcn (via MeDo)
-
Modular services:
- paymentService
- walletService
- transactionService
Dynamic payment links (
/pay/[id])-
Multi-payment simulation:
- card
- bank
- crypto
🔌 Using Plugins (ExchangeRate)
To make LOOP truly global, I integrated the ExchangeRate plugin.
This powers:
- a currency converter widget
- real-time conversion inside invoices
Example:
$50 ≈ ₦75,000
This helps both businesses and customers understand value instantly.
🧠 Key Challenges
1. Making it feel real without real payments
I had to simulate:
- payment processing
- confirmations
- receipts
Without using actual payment APIs.
2. State persistence
Initially, everything reset on refresh.
Fix:
→ implemented local storage persistence
→ made the app feel like a real system
3. UX simplicity vs feature depth
I had to constantly balance:
- powerful features vs
- a simple user flow
🚀 What’s Next
- Real payment integrations (bank APIs, crypto rails)
- Authentication & multi-user support
- Recurring payments
- Advanced invoicing

🧵 Final Thought
Building LOOP showed me that:
Great products aren’t about complexity — they’re about removing friction.
