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.
