Ben built Zoneless after facing high Stripe Connect fees on his marketplace. He was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6.

Ben has been using it personally for the past few months, onboarding 5,000+ sellers and doing 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on his marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe.

The project is open source with an Apache 2.0 license, offering no lock-in and no risk of account flagging or shutdown. It features an almost identical API and dashboard to Stripe.

Zoneless supports payouts to anyone anywhere, with fees around $26/year compared to Stripe Connect's $40.5k/year. It can be added alongside Stripe or PayPal with one prompt, using the same API developers already know.
