Payment methods

Bitcoin and Altcoins

NOWPayments is a platform that helps merchants anywhere in the world accept cryptocurrency payments in a fully decentralized way.

How this works

• When you want to pay a merchant, we will display instructions on how to send funds directly to this merchant, and monitor the blockchain for your transaction.
• After a valid payment is detected, we will notify the merchant so they can take any necessary actions on their end.

All payments facilitated by NOWPayments Commerce are fully decentralized and peer-to-peer. This means that the cryptocurrency goes directly from your wallet to a wallet that is only accessible by the merchant. At no point in this flow does anyone except the merchant, including NOWPayments, have access to these funds.
