Field notes
The host flow starts with an OCPP-compatible charger, then a host sets a price and prints a unique QR code for the property. The page says charging is measured and earnings go to the host’s Stripe account; it also displays a sample session of 12.8 kWh for $4.48. Squid describes itself as open source and names an Ivora API, Supabase, Stripe Connect, and Vercel in its stack.
