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.

    Hey tks for the detailed answer. Care to elaborate what you mean by tie existing psp api together? Some kind of proxy existing psp?

      Yes indeed, i think that’s the phrasing that does it best. For example if there are some cheaper psp’s around for 1 specific payment method but you’d like to offer more. You could proxy different psp’s for different payments all into 1 API and offer that as a service perhaps. I don’t have any concrete ideas for that but suggested it as a point to get you started somewhere and if you have a working business model you could use the profit to start building everything in-house to work towards becoming your own PSP.
