# Accept Crypto Payments Without Building a Full Stack: Meet `crypto-pay-local` > Source: > Published: 2026-10-19 15:42:43+00:00 `crypto-pay-local` Selling a service online usually means assembling a whole stack: a storefront, a backend for orders, a database so nothing gets lost, and a support channel for the inevitable "did my payment go through?" questions. If you want to accept crypto and skip most of that work, `crypto-pay-local` is for you. `crypto-pay-local` is a lightweight Node.js crypto-payment store. It lets you sell services or digital goods for cryptocurrency, keeps a persistent record of every order, and ships with a sales-support chatbot that answers customer questions for you. I built this with a "running in five minutes" mindset. Here's what's in the box: `127.0.0.1:8899`, then deploy to Render or Netlify to go live. Most developers don't want to run payment infrastructure. They want to ship the thing they're actually selling. `crypto-pay-local` handles checkout, order tracking, and first-line support so you can spend your time on your product. A few things I'd rather you hear from me than discover later: The live store will be at **[INSERT LIVE URL HERE]** once deployed. Open it, browse the catalog, and ask the chatbot something tricky to see the fallback in action. Want to run your own? The repository at **[INSERT REPO URL HERE]** has setup instructions and a deployment guide. Issues and pull requests are welcome, and if you ship a store with it, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
