BTCPay Server
The self-hosted, open-source payment processor — accept Bitcoin and Lightning with no fees and no middleman.
BTCPay Server is a self-hosted, open-source payment processor for Bitcoin and Lightning. You run it yourself (or use a third-party host), point it at your own node, and accept payments directly to your own wallet — there is no company in the middle taking a fee or holding your funds. It ships with a point-of-sale app, e-commerce plugins for the major shopping carts, invoicing, and a crowdfunding tool.
It is the reference choice for anyone who wants to accept Bitcoin without trusting a payment provider, and it powers a large share of the merchants you see on the map. The trade-off is operational: self-hosting means you are responsible for uptime and backups, so smaller sellers often start on a shared host before moving to their own instance.
