Zoneless is an open-source payments platform for stablecoins (USDC) that lets you accept payments, manage subscriptions, and pay marketplace sellers globally from infrastructure you control. It is designed as a drop-in alternative to the payout side of Stripe Connect, exposing a Stripe-compatible API so teams can run it alongside their existing payment stack or migrate onto it entirely. Built by the team behind PromptBase (an AI marketplace with over 500,000 users), Zoneless runs the payout infrastructure for a production marketplace today.

Key Features

• Checkout — Create products and payment links, then let customers pay with USDC through hosted checkout.
• Subscriptions — Manage recurring payments, invoices, and subscription status.
• Marketplace accounts & payouts — Onboard sellers, send instant global USDC payouts at near-zero cost (~$0.002 per payout), and issue refunds.
• Identity verification — Set verification rules and review sellers who need an identity check.
• Platform & seller dashboards — Manage customers, products, connected accounts, and balances, plus an Express-style dashboard for sellers.
• Familiar Stripe API — Uses Stripe object shapes, webhook patterns, idempotency model, and resources like Checkout Sessions, Payment Links, Accounts, Transfers, and Payouts.

Self-Hosting & Tech Stack

Zoneless is self-hosted with Docker (docker compose up -d), where the setup screen creates your platform account and API key. The codebase is a TypeScript Nx monorepo with an Express.js API, an Angular dashboard, checkout, and onboarding flow, a CLI, and MongoDB for storage. Official Node SDK is @zoneless/node.

Licensing

Zoneless is released under the Apache License 2.0, so you can run and modify it freely on your own infrastructure.
