What is SatSale?

This Python-based payment processor runs on your own server and handles Bitcoin donations and payments. It creates donation pages with embeddable buttons, serves as a WooCommerce gateway for WordPress shops, and exposes a REST API for programmatic invoice creation. The software connects to your own Bitcoin Core, LND, or c-lightning node to verify transactions against your local blockchain, ensuring funds arrive directly in your wallet with no intermediary. For users without a node, it can derive addresses from an extended public key. All settings live in a TOML configuration file. The project is in early development and the maintainers disclaim liability for any lost funds.
