How to accept payment? (alien.top)

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.

Sure you can build a stripe clone, sure bud. I have Eng friends who work at Stripe. I don’t think you can even begin to understand what’s involved with a business like this. They ARE the gateway so have fun implementing “verified by visa” with 200 banks.
