Side by side
A self-hosted crypto payment processor supporting BTC, LTC, BCH, XMR, ETH, TRX, USDT and more, with a store, invoices and e-commerce plugins.
A payments orchestration platform that connects one API to many processors, payout, fraud and vault providers, with routing, retries and reconciliation.
Still pre-1.0 with a small team, and you handle custody, volatility and compliance.
Self-hosting a PCI-scoped payment system is a serious operational and compliance burden.
