Derivation Chain

Step 1 Global payment Infrastructure advancement
Step 2 Rising overseas revenue for small Korean SaaS companies
Step 3 Overseas payment → domestic Tax Accounting automated bridge

Problem

Korean SaaS operators with 1-5 people using overseas payment platforms like Stripe or Paddle spend 6-10 hours each month-end converting foreign revenue to KRW and preparing VAT and withholding tax filing documents. Exchange rate base-date confusion and revenue recognition timing errors trigger 1-2 additional correction requests to tax accountants per quarter, costing $75-$150 (100K-200K KRW) each time.

Solution

Connect via Stripe/Paddle API to automatically convert each transaction to KRW, classify revenue recognition timing, and generate monthly VAT/withholding Tax filing spreadsheets. Outputs in a standardized format for Tax Accounting firms, with alerts for revenue variances caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

Target: Korean SaaS/digital product sellers with 1-5 people using overseas payment platforms, Freelancer developers
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly flat rate $21.75/month (29K KRW, up to 500 transactions/month), $36.75/month (49K KRW, up to 2,000). Additional payment platform API integration $7.50/month (10K KRW) per platform.
