Zoneless

Zoneless provides a self‑hosted payment stack for marketplaces that replaces Stripe Connect with USDC payouts on the Solana network. It exposes the same API endpoints as Stripe, allowing developers to create Express‑type accounts, initiate payouts, and manage seller wallets using familiar request patterns. The system settles transfers in real time, delivering funds to sellers within seconds rather than days.

The platform targets developers of global marketplaces who want to reduce transaction costs and avoid vendor lock‑in. By leveraging Solana’s low‑cost gas, payouts incur fees of only a few thousandths of a dollar, eliminating the monthly account fees and percentage‑based charges typical of Stripe Connect. Because the software is open source under Apache 2.0, operators can audit, modify, and deploy the service on their own infrastructure, retaining full custody of private keys and funds.

Zoneless also includes an Express‑style dashboard for sellers to view earnings, manage wallet connections, and track payouts. The solution is positioned as a truly global, instant‑settlement alternative that supports over two hundred countries while keeping the developer experience aligned with existing Stripe integrations.
