Getting Started

Do I need crypto?

No. Pay with your card like any other website. The blockchain stuff happens behind the scenes. You never have to think about it.

The Experience

You sign up with your email. You pay with your credit card. You run workflows and see results.

That's it.

❌ No wallet✅ Auto-created for you
❌ No seed phrases✅ Managed behind the scenes
❌ No gas fees✅ Included in pricing
❌ No token swaps✅ Instant conversion

If you've ever bought something online, you already know how to use indie.money.

What's Actually Happening

Visible vs. Invisible:

What YOU SEEWhat happens AUTOMATICALLY
Sign up with emailWallet created automatically
Pay with credit cardAdded to prepaid balance
Run workflowsNFT ownership recorded
See resultsSmart contract settlement

Yes, there's blockchain under the hood. Your workflow ownership is recorded as an NFT. Payments settle in stablecoins. Smart contracts handle the billing.

But you don't see any of that. We create a wallet for you automatically. We load your prepaid balance instantly. We pay the transaction fees.

It's like how you don't think about TCP/IP when you browse the web. The infrastructure exists, but it's not your problem.

Why We Built It This Way

BenefitWhy it matters
✅ True ownershipNFT proves you own what you bought
✅ Transparent paymentsBlockchain tracks every transaction
✅ Settled is settledOnce a run settles, the builder's payout is final; card deposits still follow card rules before they are spent
✅ Global settlementWorks anywhere, within minutes

Crypto has real benefits - we wanted those for the platform.

But we didn't want to force everyone to learn a new financial system just to run an automation tool. That would be ridiculous.

So we made the technology invisible. You get the benefits without the complexity.

For Those Who Want Crypto

Optional Crypto Access:

Standard PathCrypto Path
Email + CardMetaMask + USDC
Auto walletYour wallet
Simple setupManual connection

Crypto Path gives you: Full control, See NFTs on-chain, Pay directly with USDC

If you do have a wallet and prefer to use it, you can:

  • Connect with MetaMask or any wallet
  • Pay in USDC
  • See your workflow NFTs on-chain
  • Full control if you want it

But it's optional. Most people never touch it.

The Bottom Line

Use your card. We handle the crypto. You just run workflows.
