> **The Open-source Stripe Connect Alternative. Pay your marketplace sellers globally with USDC. Near-zero fees. Instant payouts. No vendor lock-in. Self-host your entire payout stack.**

Zoneless is a self-hosted payment infrastructure for marketplaces and platforms. It provides a Stripe-compatible API for account onboarding, transfers, and payouts — except sellers get paid in USDC to their Solana wallet.
Zoneless is a free, open-source drop-in replacement for the payout part of Stripe Connect. It lets you pay marketplace sellers globally with stablecoins (USDC) using an identical API to Stripe — at near-zero fees.
