Khaime Inc.

What Khaime Inc. does

Khaime Inc. is a commerce infrastructure platform that enables businesses to sell globally across 150+ countries with support for 100+ currencies. Founded in August 2025 and incorporated in Delaware, USA, the company offers an integrated stack comprising AI-powered storefronts, multi-currency payment processing, AI invoice automation, B2B quote workflows, and a marketplace platform. Its technology foundation is built on an embeddable JavaScript SDK using Web Components (@khaime/sdk), a REST Partner API (https://api.khaime.com/api/v1/partner), and a plugin ecosystem for WooCommerce and WordPress, with payment routing across Stripe, Paystack, PayPal, and StartButton based on transaction currency. Real-time FX display is powered by the Wise API and NGN transfers use Rollafi rates; webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed with idempotent event delivery.

The company serves primarily SMB merchants — global fashion brands, creators, freelancers, consultants, agencies, and marketplace operators — with particular emphasis on businesses in Africa and other emerging markets where Stripe and PayPal have limited coverage. Customer testimonials highlight fashion sellers in Ghana, Nigeria, and the United States using Khaime to accept multi-currency payments and avoid exchange rate volatility. Khaime monetizes through a 6% per-transaction platform fee (plus gateway processing fees of approximately 2.9% + 30¢ for Stripe or 1.5% capped for Paystack), a $10/month Storefront widget subscription, a $99 one-time Pricing Table widget, and optional managed services referenced in its Platform User Agreement. GTM combines product-led growth (free tier, self-serve onboarding, sub-5-minute storefront setup), an API-first developer channel, and community-led engagement via Slack and Discord. As of the available data, the homepage displays placeholder metrics of "0+ Businesses Onboarded" and "$0M+ AI Agent Transactions," reflecting a nascent commercial stage with no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or management team.

Direct peers

• Paystack: Africa-focused payment gateway owned by Stripe. Khaime uses Paystack as its exclusive NGN/GHS/KES/ZAR rail, but Paystack also sells directly to African merchants, making it a direct competitor for the same SMB customer.
• PayMongo: Southeast Asia emerging-market payment orchestrator with multi-currency and developer-first API/SDK. Comparable as a regional gateway orchestrator expanding beyond its home geography.
• Razorpay: Indian payment gateway and commerce platform with multi-currency and emerging-market SMB focus. Comparable focus on orchestrating regional gateways behind a unified API/SDK and dashboard.
• Lemon Squeezy: All-in-one platform for creators and SaaS sellers to manage checkout, subscriptions, taxes, and payouts globally. Closest direct competitor in AI/creator-led commerce stack positioning.
• dLocal: Cross-border payment processor connecting global merchants to emerging markets in Africa, Asia, and LatAm. Closest publicly traded analog to Khaime's emerging-market orchestrator model.
• Payoneer: Cross-border payments platform for SMBs, freelancers, and marketplaces. Directly comparable on multi-currency receiving, payouts to local banks, and marketplace seller flows.
• Flutterwave: Pan-African payment platform enabling businesses to accept and disburse payments across Africa. Directly comparable focus on African SMB cross-border commerce with multi-currency and payout capabilities.
• Wise: Cross-border money transfer and multi-currency account platform. Khaime leverages Wise's API for display FX rates but Wise also offers merchant receiving accounts, making it a direct peer in cross-border SMB finance.
• Paddle: Merchant-of-record / global payments layer for digital goods sellers. Comparable in being a unified commerce+payments stack for SMBs selling globally with one integration.

Broad incumbents

• Stripe: Largest global payment processor. Khaime sits on top of Stripe for ~135+ currencies via the Stripe Payment Element, so Stripe is both Khaime's largest rail and most existential competitor (especially as Stripe expands in emerging markets).
