Zoneless

Zoneless is an open-source payments platform designed as an alternative to Stripe, enabling businesses to accept and send payments anywhere with minimal fees. It provides checkout, subscriptions, marketplace accounts, and payouts through an API compatible with Stripe, allowing developers familiar with Stripe to integrate it easily. The platform uses stablecoins (USDC) for transactions and is self-hostable under the Apache 2.0 license.

Built for marketplaces and global businesses, Zoneless supports seller onboarding, identity verification, and individual seller dashboards. It operates in over 220 countries and regions with near-instant payout speeds. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to Stripe, and runs in production powering PromptBase, an AI marketplace with over 500,000 users.
