 # xmrcheckout.com
 
 Non-custodial Monero checkout software for merchants. Payments go directly from the customer to the merchant wallet.
 
-This project is intentionally conservative by design:
+xmrcheckout is open source and self-hostable. It creates invoices, shows payment instructions, and watches the chain for incoming payments using view-only wallet access (address + secret view key). It can also notify your systems via API and webhooks.
+
+Hard rules:
 - It never requests or stores private spend keys.
 - It never signs transactions.
 - It never moves funds on behalf of users.

+## Who it's for
+
+If you want Monero payments to go straight to your own wallet, this is for you.
+
+Common fits:
+- A merchant who wants a clean hosted checkout UI (self-hosted by you).
+- A team that wants API + webhooks to plug into an existing order flow.
+- Anyone who prefers a conservative trust model (view-only access for detection).
+
 ## What it does
 
-At a high level:
+Typical flow:
 1. Your integration creates an invoice (defined in XMR).
 2. The UI shows payment instructions (address + amount).
 3. The system observes the chain using view-only wallet access to detect payments and update invoice status.
 4. Optional integrations (for example webhooks) can be used to trigger your internal order flow.
 
-What it does not do:
+Not included (by design):
 - It does not provide custody, refunds, or any fund-moving automation.
 - It does not act as a financial intermediary.
 - It does not touch fiat rails in the core system.
 
 ## Trust model
 
-- Funds always move from the customer to the merchant wallet; xmrcheckout only observes the chain to detect payments.
-- The maximum permission level is view-only wallet access (wallet address + private view key).
-- If any configuration or integration implies spend authority, treat it as a misconfiguration.
+- Funds always move from the customer to the merchant wallet; xmrcheckout only observes the chain and reports status.
+- You keep spend authority. The maximum permission level xmrcheckout uses is view-only wallet access (wallet address + private view key).
