BTCPay Server is an Open Source payment processor, written in C#, that conforms to the invoice API of Bitpay. This allows easy migration of your code base to your own, self-hosted payment processor.

This solution is for you if:

• You are currently using Bitpay as a payment processor but are worried about their commitment to Bitcoin in the future
• You want to be in control of your own funds
• Bitpay compliance team decided to reject your application
• You want lower fees (we support Segwit)
• You want to become a payment processor yourself and offer a BTCPay hosted solution to merchants
• You want a way to support currencies other than those offered by Bitpay

In addition to Bitcoin, we support the following crypto currencies:

• BGold
• Dogecoin
• Feathercoin
• Groestlcoin
• Litecoin
• Dash
• Monacoin
• Polis
• UFO
• Viacoin

Please check out our complete documentation for more details.
