dodopayments
The official Python library for the Dodo Payments API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The library is actively maintained (release 1 day old), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, permissive licensing, and provides a well-typed, ergonomic interface to Dodo Payments. Install it if you need to integrate Dodo Payments into a Python application. No significant blockers.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later and a valid Dodo Payments API key set via environment variable.
- Low friction install with six common dependencies (anyio, distro, httpx, pydantic, sniffio, typing-extensions).
- Repository is actively maintained with a release 1 day old and no archived status.

print(response.session_id)- Whether the library's error handling (APIConnectionError, APIStatusError subclasses) covers all real-world failure modes you expect.

- Whether aiohttp backend (optional extra) is production-ready for your concurrency requirements.
What it is and what it does
Dodopayments is the official Python client for the Dodo Payments REST API. It wraps HTTP calls to Dodo's payment endpoints with type-safe request and response objects, automatic pagination, and both sync and async execution modes. The library is built on httpx and pydantic, providing full type hints for IDE autocomplete and optional runtime type checking.
You use it to integrate Dodo Payments into Python applications—creating checkout sessions, listing payments, and managing transactions through a typed, ergonomic interface. It handles authentication via bearer token, environment switching (test vs. live mode), error classification (connection errors, rate limits, API errors), and optional aiohttp backend for async workloads.
Use it for
- Build a checkout flow in a web app by creating sessions and retrieving session IDs for payment forms.
- Iterate through all payments in your account with automatic pagination, without manual page-fetching logic.
- Handle payment errors gracefully by catching specific exception types (RateLimitError, AuthenticationError, etc.).
- Use async/await in a high-concurrency service to make non-blocking payment API calls.
- Leverage type hints and Pydantic models to catch integration bugs early in development.
