What SHKeeper is

SHKeeper is a self-hosted, open-source cryptocurrency payment processor that combines a gateway and a merchant wallet. The site says it lets businesses accept payments in multiple cryptocurrencies without fees or intermediaries, lists more than nineteen supported assets including stablecoins on several networks, and provides an API, a demo and server requirements for deployment with Helm. Because the merchant operates the software on its own server and controls the wallets, there is no provider account and nobody positioned to demand verification. It is developed by a hosting company, which is named on the site as its creator.
