what's BTCPay Server?
BTCPay Server is a free, open-source, self-hosted payment processor designed for accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without intermediaries, fees, or censorship risks. Users deploy it on their own hardware, cloud servers, or existing hosts, connecting it to e-commerce stores, point-of-sale apps, or invoicing tools. Funds settle directly to user-controlled wallets, supporting hardware wallets, full nodes, and pruned modes for efficiency. It features modular plugins for Lightning Network, Liquid Network, and on-chain payments, along with tools like invoice generation, payment links, tipping buttons, and crowdfunding campaigns. Deployment options include Docker, manual setups, or one-click launchers, emphasizing privacy through avoidance of third-party custodians and KYC requirements.
