NOWPayments

Founded in: 2019

Headquarters in: Amsterdam

NOWPayments is a great service that allows everyone to accept crypto payments on their websites, online stores, and social media accounts. Being a non-custodial service, means that NOWPayments doesn’t hold or store users’ funds in any way. NOWPayments supports more than 50 cryptocurrencies, and it offers low transaction fees.

NOWPayments was founded in 2019, by the team behind ChangeNOW, a cryptocurrency exchange service. The company’s mission is to provide a crypto payment gateway that is easy to use and embed into existing websites. This is based on the belief that everyone should have the chance to accept crypto payments or crypto donations for their e-commerce stores, charities or any type of business.

Services Provided

NOWPayments provides a simple, easy-to-integrate service. The company offers flexible solutions, such as accepting payments in many different coins or converting all crypto assets you receive into a user’s chosen cryptocurrency. Its automatic exchange is powered by its own crypto exchange service, ChangeNOW, and there are several widgets on offer for transactions and donations. Donation widgets and buttons allow users to accept cryptocurrency for donations and fundraisers whereby the user chooses the cryptocurrency they own and how much they want to donate. For other purposes, a crypto payment system is offered with buttons and widgets where the required amount is specified by other sources, for example, if a user wants to purchase an item.

Finally, NOWPayments offers useful plugins to accept crypto payments on online e-commerce providers including Magento 2, OpenCart, WooCommerce, WHMCS, Zen Cart, PrestaShop, Ecwid and more. With a simple plugin, users can easily add a cryptocurrency payment option for the cart checkout at their online store.
