I see a lot of use-cases for this, but it states that it needs to be run as an Google Chrome extension which kinda limits it.  
Is it possible to run it in the backend for a webportal f.ex so that we can exclude the use of PayPal.

I want to integrate it as a wallet function for end-users so that they can buy product, earn revenue and be incentives based on different efforts.  
Similar to Steam Wallet (the gaming portal)  
You create an account, and get your wallet that you can fill up or retrieve funds from  
A payment/wallet module for Magento 2
