My company is currently using stripe as payment processor. As a side project, I want to explore the possibility of creating my own payment processor at home (i.e. become my own stripe). Does anyone know what’s involved?

I can probably develop a stripe clone by myself. But I want to focus on the legal/financial aspects.

Pls don’t tell me to accept bitcoin. Already got that rolling.

    Question - why do you think payment processors even exist? Why don’t huge companies with tons of workforce just process payments themselves and save millions of $ on paying the processor fees?

    The answer is all the legal trouble and complications. So many regulations, so many liabilities, so many issues with security that companies decide that it’s worth spending a percentage of their multimillion-dollar revenue to not have to deal with.

    And you are trying to do all that by yourself. This project is impossible.
