Bachs

Bachs is a payments and billing platform for internet businesses that helps African SaaS and digital product companies accept payments globally while settling funds to African bank accounts.

Key capabilities include:

• Global hosted checkout that supports cards, bank transfers, mobile money, and stablecoin payments (USDT, USDC) in a single session, with automatic location detection to surface relevant payment methods and currencies.
• Subscriptions and billing automation with free trials, upgrades, downgrades, pauses, cancellations, and automatic proration, plus smart dunning to retry failed payments.
• Usage-based billing for metered products, with metering by API calls, tokens, seats, or custom units, including automatic aggregation, rating, and invoicing.
• Tax and invoicing tools including automated VAT/GST calculation and automatic generation of VAT-compliant invoices, while the merchant remains the seller of record.

Available via web dashboard, hosted checkout, and a REST API with SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Go (docs: https://docs.bachs.io/api-reference).

Target users include African internet businesses (especially SaaS and digital product teams) that need to charge customers across Africa, Europe, and North America, and settle locally in NGN, GHS, KES, or ZAR.

Bachs is notable for combining checkout, subscriptions, usage billing, tax handling, and African settlement in one integration, reducing the need to stitch together multiple payment providers and billing tools for cross-border revenue collection.
