Frequently Asked Questions

? Is SHKeeper hard to install?

SHKeeper uses Docker for simplified deployment with pre-configured containers. Basic Docker and server skills help, but official docs provide step-by-step guides for setup, including wallet config and e-commerce integration.

SHKeeper is open source (MIT license) and free to use. No subscription fees or transaction charges—you keep 100% of funds minus Bitcoin network fees.
