qpayd: self-hosted Bitcoin + Lightning merchant server with Stripe-style webhooks

I built qpayd because I wanted a simpler self-custody merchant stack for Bitcoin + Lightning.

Most options today either feel:

* too storefront-focused * too operationally heavy * or missing modern API/webhook/accounting primitives

qpayd is a self-hosted merchant server that supports:

* Lightning via phoenixd and barkd * on-chain payments via xpub derivation * Electrum monitoring * Stripe-style signed webhooks * accounting/reconciliation records * embeddable JS checkout modal

The main idea:

Bitcoin merchants should be able to integrate payments the same way developers integrate Stripe today.

Create invoice -> receive signed webhook -> reconcile payment -> done.

No custodial dependency. No exchange account required. No giant ecommerce stack required.

I’m especially interested in feedback from:

* merchants * SaaS builders * people running BTCPay * Lightning operators
