## Introduction
BTCPay Server is an Open Source payment processor, written in C#, that conforms to the invoice API of [Bitpay](https://bitpay.com/).
This allows easy migration of your code base to your own, self-hosted payment processor.
BTCPay Server is a free and open-source cryptocurrency payment processor which allows you to receive payments in Bitcoin and altcoins directly, with no fees, transaction cost or a middleman.
This solution is for you if:
BTCPay is a non-custodial invoicing system which eliminates the involvement of a third-party. Payments with BTCPay go directly to your wallet, which increases the privacy and security. Your private keys are never uploaded to the server. There is no address re-use, since each invoice generates a new address deriving from your xpubkey.
* You are currently using Bitpay as a payment processor but are worried about their commitment to Bitcoin in the future
* You want to be in control of your own funds
* Bitpay compliance team decided to reject your application
* You want lower fees (we support Segwit)
* You want to become a payment processor yourself and offer a BTCPay hosted solution to merchants
* You want a way to support currencies other than those offered by Bitpay
The software is built in C# and conforms to the invoice [API of BitPay](https://bitpay.com/api). It allows for your website to be easily migrated from BitPay and configured as a self-hosted payment processor.
## We support altcoins!
You can run BTCPay as a self-hosted solution on your own server, or use a [third-party host](https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-doc/blob/master/Managed.md).
In addition to Bitcoin, we support the following crypto currencies:
The self-hosted solution allows you not only to attach an unlimited number of stores and use the Lightning Network but also become the payment processor for others.
Thanks to the apps built on top of it, you can use BTCPay to receive donations or have an in-store POS system.
