Paid Stub

Invoices paid in stablecoins where both sides get the same stub, with the reference, the FX rate and the fees at the moment of payment, and it reconciles itself.

Locked in a smart contract until delivery

Your USDC is locked in a smart contract, not sent to us. The contract lets us collect it only if we deliver within 14 days of your payment (by 16 Nov 2026 if you pay today). After that date, if we have not collected it, you take it back yourself from My apps, no permission needed. Before it, only we can refund: if we miss the promised date, ask in My apps and we refund you from the contract. View the contract on BaseScan. This covers every payment, a reservation too: the funds are released to us only when we deliver.

Promised delivery: 12 Nov 2026 (counted from payment). Self-refund opens: 16 Nov 2026 (the contract deadline).

Picture this

Who it is for

Ifeoma Chukwu is a freelance motion designer in Yaba, Lagos, with clients in Berlin and Toronto. Payments arrive with no reference, her accountant cannot match a 1,840 dollar transfer to an invoice, and every month someone argues about the exchange rate. Paid Stub puts a reference memo on every invoice, lets the client pay from any wallet on Stellar, Arc, Tempo or Plasma, and hands both of them one identical stub the moment the money lands, with the rate, the fees and what is still due.

Two ways to own it

What you get

Base$100
Yours in 7 to 10 days

Invoice creation with a reference memo and due date, a pay page any wallet can use on Stellar, Arc, Tempo and Plasma, a Soroban invoice contract on Stellar and a small invoice contract on the EVM chains, automatic matching by memo or registered wallet, partial payment handling with a balance due line, identical stubs for both sides with FX rate, source and fees, capped polite reminders, a stubs ledger with CSV export, and an owner console with plans and the paywall editor.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Crypto invoicing tools exist (Request Finance, Bitwage and others), and Stellar has long had memos for payment references. What is new is the shared stub: one record built from the payment itself, identical for payer and payee, with the reference, the FX rate from a named source at the payment block, the network fee and any balance still due. Partial and memo less payments are matched in plain words, and reminders are polite and capped by design.

Closest things out there

Request Finance for crypto invoices and accounting exports; Stellar memos and anchors for payment references; bank invoice tools with reconciliation. None of them gives payer and payee the same stub built from the onchain payment.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What it unlocks

The human in it

Getting paid across borders should end with one piece of paper both people agree on, not a week of screenshots and chasing.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

A complete stablecoin invoicing app you own: freelancers send invoices that clients pay from any wallet on Stellar, Arc, Tempo or Plasma, both sides get one identical stub that reconciles itself, people pay you monthly for more invoices and currencies, and your console runs pricing, growth, rules and the matching agent.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

Freelancers and small businesses paid across borders in stablecoins lose hours every month matching payments to invoices. Transfers arrive with no reference, part of an invoice gets paid with no note, and payer and payee each keep their own screenshot with a different exchange rate. Accountants end up reconciling by hand, and the person who did the work has to chase politely without sounding desperate.

What exists and what is new

Crypto invoicing exists. Request Finance and similar tools create invoices and accounting exports, and Stellar has supported payment memos for years. Paid Stub is a medium novelty take: the stub is built from the payment itself and is identical for both sides, with the reference, the FX rate from a named source at the payment block, the network fee and any balance due. Memo less and partial payments are matched in plain words, and reminders are capped so nobody gets nagged. Research verdict: invoicing exists, the shared self reconciling stub is new.

The data it runs on

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

1.The mission

Getting paid should end with one stub both sides agree on, built from the payment itself.

2.Why people can't resist it

The twin stub The moment the payment lands, payer and payee get the same stub with the same number, rate and fee. Nobody argues about whose screenshot is right.

It matched itself A payment with the right memo marks the invoice paid on its own. A payment without one is matched to the client's registered wallet and shown for a one tap yes.

Three polite reminders, then silence Reminders are capped at three, spaced out, and written to keep the relationship. The cap is a rule, not a setting someone can crank up.

3.How it works for real

4.Pricing

Cost per use: unlocked when your app is paid in full.

Solo Free
Up to five invoices a month in USD, every accepted chain, twin stubs, matching and capped reminders.
Studio $9 per month
Unlimited invoices, invoices in EUR, GBP and other currencies with FX on the stub, the stubs ledger export and your logo on stubs.
Firm $29 per month
For accountants and small agencies: up to 25 client ledgers, team members, bulk exports and a read only accountant view.

5.Growth loop

Every stub carries a quiet Issued with Paid Stub line, and the payer gets a copy, so clients who also pay freelancers see the tool at the exact moment it saved them work. Accountants who receive clean exports recommend it to their other freelance clients.

8.Where this is going

  1. Now
    Freelancers send invoices that match themselves and end with one stub both sides agree on.
  2. Next
    Tempo and Plasma, multi currency invoices, and a read only view for accountants.
  3. Later
    An open stub format other invoicing tools can read and write, so a stub from one tool is valid in another.
  4. The world it builds
    People paid across borders spend their time on the work, not on proving they were paid.

Why own Paid Stub

Millions of freelancers are now paid in stablecoins by clients abroad, and most of them still reconcile with screenshots. Owning Paid Stub means you run the version where the invoice carries its own reference, the client pays from any wallet, and both sides get the same stub the moment the money lands. You earn from monthly plans, never from a cut of anyone's pay.

What’s stopping you?

“I am not an accountant. Can I run an invoicing app?”

Paid Stub does not file taxes or give advice. It makes clean records: invoices, payments and stubs. Your job is to run the app, help users set up their first invoice and keep the exports working. Accountants are your partners, not your competition.

“What if a client pays without the memo?”

It happens, especially from exchanges. Payments from a client's registered wallet are proposed as a match for one tap, and anything else waits for the freelancer instead of being guessed. The pay page shows the memo in large type with a copy button to make it rare.

“Two contract stacks sounds hard to maintain.”

Both contracts are small and do one thing: store invoice status and accept a payment with a reference. They share one test suite, and DEPLOYR delivers both with the delivery guide. Start on Stellar and Arc; Tempo and Plasma use the same EVM contract.

“Is it legal to accept stablecoins for work?”

In many countries, yes, and the income is taxable like any other. Rules differ, so each user should check with their accountant. The stubs and exports make that conversation short.
