About Us

Built by developers, for developers.

Hi, I'm Mazid, a B.Tech Computer Science student and the founder of FundGate.

FundGate wasn't created inside a large company or by a team of hundreds of engineers. It started as a personal project while I was building websites, Telegram bots, SaaS products, and other digital services.

The Problem

Like many independent developers, I discovered that integrating a traditional payment gateway wasn't always easy. Lengthy approvals, complex onboarding, and strict technical requirements often made it difficult for students, freelancers, indie developers, and small businesses to start accepting online payments.

Enterprise-focused solutions aren't always ideal for small projects looking to launch quickly.

Our Solution

I believed there had to be a simpler way. That's why I built FundGate.

FundGate provides a lightweight developer platform that simplifies UPI payment integration. Instead of requiring a traditional Payment Gateway Merchant Key, users simply connect their own Paytm Merchant Account, generate a FundGate API Key, and begin accepting payments within minutes.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is simple:
To make UPI payment integration fast, affordable, and accessible for every developer, student, creator, freelancer, and small business in India.

We believe developers should spend their time building great products—not struggling with payment gateway setup.

Our vision is to become one of India's most developer-friendly UPI payment integration platforms by simplifying online payment acceptance for independent developers and growing businesses.

How FundGate Works

Using FundGate is simple. Create an account, connect your Paytm Merchant Account, generate API keys, and integrate our REST APIs. To start accepting payments, you only need:

  • A Paytm Merchant Account (Merchant QR Account)
  • Your Merchant ID (MID)
  • Your receiving UPI ID

Unlike traditional integrations, you don't need a Paytm Payment Gateway Merchant Key.

Direct Settlement

FundGate does not intentionally hold customer funds. Payments are settled directly into the merchant's connected Paytm Merchant Account.

FundGate provides the developer tools, while your payments continue to settle directly to your own merchant account securely and instantly.

Pricing Model

Unlike many platforms that charge per-transaction fees (MDR), FundGate follows a simple monthly subscription model. This means predictable pricing, no hidden charges, and unlimited developer access based on your plan.

Every new account receives a 3-Day Free Trial with ₹5,000 transaction volume so developers can test the platform thoroughly before purchasing.

Built for Modern Developers

FundGate is perfectly scoped for:

  • Student Developers
  • Indie Developers
  • Freelancers
  • Telegram Bot Creators
  • SaaS Products
  • Digital Product Sellers
  • Subscription Platforms
  • Gaming Services
  • Small Online Businesses
  • Content Creators

Simple APIs & Public Links

With simple REST APIs, integration takes only a few minutes.

  • Create Order API – Create a payment request.
  • Verify Payment API – Verify payment status instantly.

Need a quicker way? FundGate lets you generate Public Payment Links that customers can pay using Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, or any UPI App via QR Scan & Pay.

Security & Privacy

Trust is everything when it comes to payments. FundGate is built with modern security practices, encrypted communication, secure authentication, protected API Keys, and privacy-first principles.

We only collect the information required to provide our services and we never sell your personal information.

Project Scope & Future Roadmap

Current Scope: UPI payment acceptance using connected Paytm Merchant Accounts, REST APIs, Public Payment Links, QR Scan & Pay, and a Developer Dashboard with subscription pricing and API Key Management.

Future Roadmap: FundGate will continue expanding with new developer-focused features, including Webhooks, Official SDKs (Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, Go), Team Workspaces, Analytics Dashboard, Transaction Insights, Custom Checkout UI, Mobile Dashboard, Plugin Ecosystem, and Additional Merchant Provider Support.
