What is Zoneless?
Zoneless is an open-source payout platform that lets marketplaces and platforms pay sellers and creators anywhere in the world — without fees. It is positioned as a drop-in alternative to Stripe Connect and PayPal Payouts, and can run alongside your existing payment setup without disrupting checkout or current payout methods.
Key Features
- No fees: No monthly account fee, no domestic payout fee, and no international payout fee.
- Global coverage: Payouts reach 220+ countries and regions.
- Fast payouts: Funds settle in seconds rather than days.
- Familiar API: The same API shapes, webhooks, and events you already know from Stripe, so switching is straightforward.
- Open source: Licensed under Apache 2.0 and fully self-hostable.
- Easy adoption: Add Zoneless as an optional USDC payout method with a single prompt to a coding agent, or set it up manually.
How It Works
Zoneless uses stablecoins as the underlying rail to move money — described by the team as "the most boring crypto tech out there." Developers can create accounts and transfers using a Stripe-like SDK:
import { Zoneless } from '@zoneless/node';
const client = new Zoneless('sk_z_...', 'api.example.com');
const account = await client.accounts.create({
type: 'express',
country: 'US',
email: 'seller@example.com',
});
await client.transfers.create({
amount: 1000,
currency: 'usdc',
destination: account.id,
});Who It's For
Zoneless is built for marketplace operators, platform builders, and creator-economy products that need to pay many sellers across borders. It supports any business type and is used in production by marketplaces such as PromptBase and Agensi.
