## What it is
Paymenter is a free, open-source billing and webshop platform built for hosting companies, on PHP/Laravel. It automates subscriptions, invoicing, and service provisioning through extensions for panels like Pterodactyl, cPanel, Plesk, and payment gateways like Stripe.

## Use cases
- run a webshop for my hosting business
- automate billing and subscriptions for game servers
- open-source WHMCS alternative
- sell VPS with automatic provisioning via Pterodactyl
- accept Stripe payments for hosting plans
- migrate clients and invoices from WHMCS
- self-host a client area and support ticket portal

## When to choose
- you run a hosting business and want free, self-hosted billing without vendor lock-in
- you need automated provisioning to Pterodactyl, cPanel, Plesk, Convoy, or Enhance
- you want an extensible platform with a REST API and extension marketplace

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose e-commerce store for physical goods
- you cannot run your own Linux server with PHP 8.3, MariaDB, and Nginx
- you need official Windows support
