How we got here
The problem
Every developer in Pakistan, Nigeria, and Bangladesh hitting the same wall: Stripe onboarding rejected, PayPal payouts blocked, LemonSqueezy unavailable. A billion people with working hands, working internet, working products — and no way to get paid.
Building Onramp
First prototype: a crypto-only checkout for personal use. ETH, SOL, MATIC accepted via smart contract. Verified on-chain. No intermediary. It worked for crypto-native buyers, but closed the door on everyone else.
The insight
The solution wasn't another crypto wallet. It was being the Merchant of Record. If Markuce is the legal seller — our Stripe, our bank, our entity — then any merchant in 150 countries can sell to any customer anywhere. Chainlink oracles give crypto payments the price integrity cards take for granted.
Markuce launches
Cards via Stripe Elements, crypto via Chainlink-priced on-chain verification. One checkout, both worlds. Full Merchant of Record legal layer. Deployed under Symbiothus.
What we believe
Radically open
If you have internet and something to sell, you should be able to sell globally. Geography is an accident of birth, not a qualification.
Developer-first
We built this because we needed it as developers. Every API decision, every webhook format, every error message was written by someone who has been on the other side.
Honest pricing
One number. No tiers, no add-ons, no "contact sales." 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction, every time, for every feature we ship.
Speed matters
Time to first sale under 10 minutes. Integration under 1 hour. Responses under 200ms. Because your time is your most valuable resource.
