NOWPayments is a service that enables individuals and businesses to accept payments in over 50 different cryptocurrencies on their websites, social media accounts, and online stores. The service is non-custodial, meaning that it does not hold or store user funds in any way. The company was established in 2019 by the team behind ChangeNOW, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The goal of NOWPayments is to offer an easy-to-use crypto payment gateway that can be integrated into existing websites without any hassle. Their service is straightforward, and users only need to copy a piece of HTML code to accept crypto payments. NOWPayments offers flexible solutions, including the ability to accept payments in different cryptocurrencies or automatically convert received funds into the user's preferred cryptocurrency. They also offer several widgets and plugins to accept cryptocurrency donations and payments on e-commerce platforms such as Magento 2, OpenCart, WooCommerce, WHMCS, Zen Cart, PrestaShop, Ecwid, and more. With their user-friendly plugin, users can easily add a cryptocurrency payment option to their online store's cart checkout process.
NOWPayments supports payments in Cardano's native cryptocurrency ADA, allowing businesses and individuals to easily accept ADA payments on their websites or online stores. They offer a variety of integration options, including widgets, plugins, and APIs, which enable developers to add Cardano payments to their applications and websites. NOWPayments' integration with Cardano helps to expand the adoption of ADA as a payment method and makes it easier for merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments.
