QuetzalPay

USDC payment tool for small merchants in Guatemala — Solana-based, mobile-first, zero dependencies.

What it does

Merchant enters an amount in Quetzales, the app converts to USDC at the current rate, generates a Solana Pay QR code, and the customer scans it with any Solana wallet. Payment confirms in under a second, costs fraction of a cent in fees.

No crypto knowledge needed on the merchant side. No hardware. Just a phone and a browser.

Why I built this

I live in Guatemala. Small vendors in tourist spots like Antigua and Atitlán get crushed by card processing fees (3-5%), and a huge chunk of the country's economy runs on remittances that lose 6-8% to intermediaries. Stablecoins on a fast chain fix both problems — if someone builds the interface layer that doesn't require merchants to understand crypto. That's what this is.

How it works

  • Merchant-facing interface with GTQ amount input
  • Real-time GTQ → USDC conversion (CoinGecko rates)
  • QR code generation using the Solana Pay standard
  • Transaction history and receipts
  • Single HTML file, no build step, works on any device

Currently on Solana devnet. Mainnet deployment is next.

Stack

Solana · USDC · Solana Pay · Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS · CoinGecko API

What's next

  • Mainnet deployment with real wallet integration
  • Merchant onboarding flow (Circle Programmable Wallets for custody)
  • USDC → GTQ off-ramp so merchants can cash out
  • Spanish language support
  • P2P transfers for the remittance use case
