If you want to accept Bitcoin without a processor holding your money first, BoreLine Pay is a non-custodial alternative to OpenNode. Each invoice derives a fresh address from your own wallet's ZPUB, so payments settle straight to you on chain, with no hosted balance and no percentage taken from your sales.
This is the distinction that matters most when you choose a Bitcoin processor.
A custodial processor receives your customers' Bitcoin into its own system, holds the balance, and settles to you later on its terms. BoreLine never possesses the money. You register a watch-only ZPUB, BoreLine derives a fresh receiving address per invoice, and the payment goes straight from your customer to a wallet only you control. BoreLine watches the chain and sends a signed webhook when it confirms, but holds no key that could move your funds.

Self-custody by design. No pooled balance means nothing to freeze, and no counterparty whose outage could hold your revenue hostage.
Keep 100% of each sale. A flat monthly subscription and zero percentage per transaction.
Prove it before you trust it. Derivation is public and deterministic, so you can check the addresses BoreLine shows against your own wallet, and the core logic is open source.
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.
