Spec score 7.7 #9 of 28 in Marketplace Payment Platforms

What it is

Zoneless is an open-source payments platform for checkout, subscriptions, marketplace accounts and payouts using USDC. Customers can pay through hosted checkout, products or payment links. Marketplaces can collect seller details and connect wallets through a hosted onboarding flow, with seller verification rules and reviews available. The service supports recurring payments, invoices and subscription status management. 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 uses Stripe object shapes, webhook patterns and idempotency conventions, and a Node.js SDK is documented. Zoneless runs as a managed cloud service or can be self-hosted with Docker and Docker Compose. Cloud Free is free for up to 1,000 payouts per month; Pro is $99 a month, and Scale is $499 a month. Self-hosted is free.
