Zoneless
What it is
Zoneless is an open-source payments platform for checkout, subscriptions, marketplace seller onboarding, and payouts using USDC. Customers can pay through hosted checkout, products, or payment links. Marketplaces can use a hosted flow to collect seller details and connect wallets. The platform also supports recurring payments, invoices, subscription status management, seller verification rules, and reviews. Payouts use USDC on Solana; the maker says they usually arrive within seconds and that Zoneless charges no payout fee, while Solana network fees are currently around $0.002 per payout. Its API follows Stripe object shapes, webhook patterns, and idempotency conventions, and the project documents a Node.js SDK. Zoneless can run as a managed cloud service or be self-hosted using Docker and Docker Compose. Cloud Free is free for up to 1,000 payouts per month; Self-hosted is free. Pro costs $99 a month for up to 10,000 payouts per month, and Scale costs $499 a month for up to 100,000 payouts per month. Support ranges from community support on Cloud Free to priority support on Scale.
