'''BTCPay Server''' is an open source payment processor. It enables online merchants to accept bitcoins as a form of payment.

The invoice API conforms to that of the centralized payment processor [[BitPay]]. This allows easy migration of a merchant's code base to their own self-hosted payment processor. This enables all the benefits of using a [[full node|full node wallet]]; such as censorship-resistance, control over your own funds, trustless validation, uptime and privacy.

BTCPay is easy to deploy via the one-click deploy on Azure.
