BTCPay Server

BTCPay Server processes Bitcoin payments with zero transaction fees, zero monthly costs, and zero third-party custody of your funds. Payments settle directly from customer to your wallet through a full Bitcoin node that provides cryptographic proof of receipt without trusting any intermediary. Lightning Network integration through LND, Core Lightning, or Eclair enables sub-second confirmation at sub-cent fees, with Ride The Lightning providing web-based node management within BTCPay itself. The Point of Sale app creates storefronts with product catalogs, tipping, and QR code displays for physical retail, events, or web embeds. Hardware wallet support through BTCPay Vault connects Ledger, Trezor, and ColdCard for transaction signing, keeping private keys in cold storage while running a hot payment interface. Multi-tenant architecture allows multiple stores on one instance, each with isolated wallets, Lightning nodes, and user permissions. The Greenfield REST API exposes every function programmatically for headless operation, automated invoicing, and custom integrations. E-commerce connectors for WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and PrestaShop plug in alongside Zapier for workflow automation. Optional Tor hidden services expose the instance as an onion address for censorship resistance. The official Docker Compose stack handles Nginx reverse proxy, Let's Encrypt TLS, and optional Tor configuration on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD. MIT licensed.
