If you want to accept Bitcoin without an exchange account holding your money, BoreLine Pay is a non-custodial alternative to Coinbase Commerce. Payments derive from your own cold-wallet ZPUB and settle straight to you on chain, so no account, balance, or third party ever stands between you and your funds.
This is the one distinction that matters most when you compare payment processors.
Coinbase Commerce is tied to the Coinbase ecosystem and an account model. BoreLine takes a different approach: it never holds your Bitcoin at any point. You register a watch-only ZPUB, BoreLine derives a fresh receiving address per invoice from it, and the payment goes straight from your customer to a wallet only you control. BoreLine watches the chain and fires a signed webhook when the payment confirms, but it never has a key that could move the funds.

Self-custody by design. No pooled account means nothing to freeze, and no counterparty whose failure could cost you your revenue.
Keep 100% of each sale. A flat monthly subscription and zero percentage taken per transaction, so your margin does not shrink as you grow.
No-code or one API call. Share a hosted payment link per product with no code, or create invoices with a single POST request. It works with any stack that can make an HTTP request, from WordPress to a custom checkout.
Try it free with a fresh empty wallet. Pay a test invoice yourself and watch the money land straight in your own wallet, before you commit a cent.
