# How funds will pay: Stripe and Razorpay billing

> Stripe and Razorpay billing is how funds are planned to pay for Delsivo once workspace prices are set: Stripe for US dollars, Razorpay for rupees. It is a payment route for the fund's subscription, not a connection to the fund's own data. Founders never pay anything. Design partner pilots are priced with each fund, and no prices are published yet.

## Key takeaways

- Planned: Stripe for funds paying in US dollars, Razorpay for funds paying in rupees.
- Founders always use Delsivo for free. There is no founder payment page.
- Card and UPI details stay with the payment provider; Delsivo keeps billing contact, invoices and payment status.
- Delsivo never moves investment money. Transaction execution is out of scope.

## What Stripe and Razorpay billing covers

Delsivo is fund-paid. The plan is an annual workspace with application and AI usage allowances, priced after design partner pilots measure real usage. When that pricing exists, a fund will pay through one of two providers, depending on currency.

These providers sit on our subprocessor list because they handle a fund's billing details. They don't touch deal data, decks or founder information.

Planned payment providers

| Provider | Currency | What it handles | What Delsivo keeps |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Stripe | US dollars | Card payments | Billing contact, invoices, payment status |
| Razorpay | Rupees | Card and UPI payments | Billing contact, invoices, payment status |

Card and UPI details stay with the provider. Delsivo never stores them.

## What it is not

- Not a way to charge founders. Founders apply, interview, answer requests and upload files for free.
- Not a way to wire or receive investment money. Fund accounting, LP reporting, custody and transaction execution are outside Delsivo's scope.
- Not a data connection. Billing doesn't read or write deals, contacts or decks.

## How paying would work for a fund

1. A design partner pilot is agreed and priced with your fund directly.
2. After pilots set workspace pricing, a fund admin chooses a plan and a currency.
3. Payment runs through Stripe for US dollars or Razorpay for rupees.
4. Invoices and payment status show in the workspace for admins.
5. Plan upgrades turn on extras such as a custom domain or removing the Powered by Delsivo badge.

## Who sees billing information

Billing is an admin concern. Fund admins manage settings and roles, so they are the people who would see invoices and change the plan. Analysts, partners without admin rights, guest experts and founders wouldn't see billing at all. Plan allowances are checked before AI work runs, so a fund that reaches its allowance is told before the work runs, not after.
