Running a full node for each cryptocurrency is not scalable since each node requires large amounts of disk space and CPU. Have you considered an alternate architecture where the payouts and payment tracking are done via an API such as blockcypher or blockchair?

Or perhaps you might prefer this, there are some services for cloud-hosting nodes such as https://getblock.io/ (I don't think they support wallets though) - these can be used for real-time payment tracking.

For the functionality of the merchant, currencies like Bitcoin do not require full nodes. It is enough to keep the last couple of weeks of the blockchain.

For currencies that require a full node, we will provide API to our full nodes for free
