# Dots

A global payouts platform selling automated mass-payment capabilities to businesses that need to send funds to contractors, influencers, freelancers, and other payees.

**Route:** surfaced by the online payment acceptance lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Stripe sells payment acceptance and financial infrastructure; Dots sells the opposite money flow—sending payouts to payees—and its homepage targets the same kinds of businesses (marketplaces, gig platforms, affiliate programs) that might evaluate Stripe Connect for payout functionality and choose one over the other.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Send payments instantly to anyone.

> Pay out people at scale.

> $2bn+ volume 1m+ Payees using Dots 190+ Countries supported
