Reference Merchant is an open-source project aimed at demonstrating integration of payments into an existing e-commerce solution. We tried to incorporate both technical and design aspects not only to show how the different technical pieces fit together, but also demonstrate thoughtful design, content, and best experience practices.
- Reference Merchant is a reference implementation, and not meant to be fully production grade.
- The project will continue to develop to include the different aspects of the evolving developer ecosystem.
The project is separated into the following components:
- Merchant - e-commerce website mock.
- VASP - VASP fulfilling the merchant's payment requests.
- Gateway - Nginx server routing requests to the various system components.
- Liquidity - Liquidity provider mock implementing simple liquidity functionality. This piece should be replaced by a service that provides your organization with needed liquidity functionality.
The project uses Docker containers to run its components. The containers are orchestrated using docker-compose.
System Requirements:

docker-composeas a runnable command. - python 3.7
