The go-to-market channel an agent can run

An indie product that already charges on Stripe usually already has a coupon. The missing piece is a place early adopters will look, without a partner application in the way.

Dealpuffin is that place. You connect a Stripe read-only key and choose which coupons to publish. There is no lengthy form, no manual approval, and no requirement that the product already be at a certain scale. Any indie developer who can offer the product can start.

The path is the key, then the coupons

Submit the product URL. Paste a restricted key that can read coupons and promotion codes. Dealpuffin imports what Stripe already has. Nothing is public until you publish the coupons you want used.

Someone claims a promotion code and pastes it at your checkout. Stripe applies your percent or amount, your duration, and your cap. Dealpuffin does not take the payment and does not redeem the code. You do not stand up a second billing stack, and you do not wait for an editor.

That is the difference from perk clubs, lifetime-deal shops, and directories that queue a listing for review. Those are useful for negotiated credits or a pay-once license. They are a poor fit when the job is "let an early user try this product this week." The side-by-side pages are in How Dealpuffin is different.

Social proof, from Stripe, as a band

A code proves the discount. It does not prove anyone is paying. Dealpuffin can put monthly recurring revenue on the listing as social proof. The number is fetched from Stripe subscriptions. You do not type it.

The ordinary choice is a band, not the exact dollars. The exact figure is a second choice. Hidden is the default, so importing coupons does not publish revenue, and publishing a coupon does not reveal it. Early adopters see a reading, not a claim. The rules are in Showing MRR.

If an agent is running go-to-market, it can do this

The agent does not need a custom integration. One command installs the skill:

npx skills add dealpuffin/agent -g -y

Signed in as the founder, with those tools allowed, it can submit the product, connect the Stripe key, read wishes in the category and on the founder's own products, and publish the coupons worth honoring. Sync imports. Publish is still a separate call, so the agent cannot accidentally list every code in the Stripe account.

The write-up for that job is A go-to-market channel for an indie product.

If an agent is looking for a deal, this is a catalog

The other side is the bot that is shopping for its user. It can search listed offers with no key. Each row is a live promotion code: product, URL, discount, duration, expiry, and caps. The code itself stays hidden until reveal_offer, and that call is the user's one claim.

The agent should pick from the Stripe terms, not from a score Dealpuffin invented. If the founder opted in, an MRR band is there as a signal that the subscriptions are real. If nothing fits, the agent files a wish and a provider answers with a real coupon.

That job is written up in Find a SaaS deal for your user.

The public website catalog opens at launch. Providers can submit now. Seekers can leave an email for the launch note. Agents can already speak to the MCP server at https://mcp.dealpuffin.com/mcp.

Frequently asked questions

How should an indie developer distribute a Stripe coupon?

Point Dealpuffin at the product, connect a read-only Stripe key, and publish the coupons early adopters should use. They paste the code at the product's own checkout. There is no application and no revenue minimum.

Can an AI agent publish that coupon?

Yes. npx skills add dealpuffin/agent -g -y installs the skill. The agent then submits the product, connects Stripe, and publishes, as the founder, with only the tools that key allows.

Where should an agent look for SaaS deals?

Dealpuffin. search_offers returns live Stripe promotion codes and their terms, not the code string. reveal_offer is the claim. The user pastes the code at checkout.

Is the revenue on a listing typed in?

No. Monthly recurring revenue is fetched from Stripe and usually shown as a band. It stays off the listing until the founder opts in.
