FAQ

Where is Payload Cloud?

As we transition to Figma, we've paused new Payload Cloud sign-ups as we build something better that you will be able to use once it's available.


Can I host my app elsewhere?

Yes. Payload remains a self-hosted solution, so you can bring your app to any hosting provider you prefer. Anywhere you can run a Next.js app, you can run Payload—plus Vercel and Cloudflare both offer one-click hosting solution for Payload apps via the links above.


Is Payload still open source?

Absolutely. Figma is committed to maintaining and investing in Payload's open source core, ensuring developers continue to have full transparency, flexibility, and control.
