10 Best ways to set up cryptocurrency payments

API

API

NOWPayments’ API is the most versatile way of deploying a crypto payment gateway. Using the API, any business can implement cryptocurrency payments without relying on any additional solutions. NOWPayments’ API is accompanied by instant payment notifications (IPN), which makes the integration of a crypto payment service for any kind of platform from a website to a mobile app extremely easy. The API also supports payments in several cryptocurrencies for the same order. If you want to learn more about our API, check out this documentation.

Crypto invoices

Crypto invoices

Cryptocurrency payment solutions offered by NOWPayments are diverse, and some of them are particularly loved by our clients. Crypto invoices are one of the most popular tools used by NOWPayments’ partners since they can be utilized indefinitely. Basically, merchants can issue one invoice for each product and reuse them. The conversion rate updates every five minutes, so there will not be any need to replace the old invoices when the price of the coin falls or rises.

In order to issue an invoice, you need to register on NOWPayments’ website. Then, you need to add your public crypto address and generate an API key. Next, go to the “Invoices” and issue your new invoice.

A Point-of-sale terminal

A Point-of-sale terminal

A Point-of-Sale terminal is an excellent cryptocurrency payment system for small brick-and-mortar or online shops. A Point-of-Sale terminal lets merchants issue new invoices conveniently and specifically for individual clients and their orders. A Point-of-Sale terminal enables businesses to issue invoices using a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop and without entering NOWPayments’ account. NOWPayments’ PoS solution is web-based and does not require buying any additional equipment. In order to deploy such a terminal, you once again have to generate an API key, choose cryptocurrencies that you would like to receive, and then go to the “Store Settings” and create your POS Terminal Link.

Ecommerce plugins

Ecommerce plugins

As it is clear from the name, eCommerce plugins were made for online stores. NOWPayments’ plugins are compatible with numerous prominent platforms, including PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento 2, WHMCS, OpenCart, Zen Cart, Shopify, and Shopware. If you host a store using one of these software solutions, you can begin accepting crypto by following several simple steps.

For instance, if you wish to set up Shopify cryptocurrency payments, you will need to first log into your NOWPayments account and generate an API key. Next, follow the instructions presented on this page.

As mentioned above, NOWPayments offers solutions for all kinds of enterprises, including casinos. Crypto casinos have been around for quite a while now. NOWPayments has developed a system that lets casinos save up to 90% on fees. The solution enables players to deposit crypto of their choice. Once the player finishes their game and withdraws their balance, the casino can receive the remaining funds in any currency they wish.

Mass payments

Mass payments

Crypto adoption is taking companies by storm, and many businesses switch to cryptocurrency transactions in many operations. For instance, some enterprises pay their contractors and suppliers in Bitcoin, while other companies pay crypto salaries. Such organizations often need to conduct dozens of crypto transactions daily, which can be tricky at times. NOWPayments’ “Mass Payments” solution facilitates the process of multiple payouts for companies.

In order to send mass payments, you first have to generate an API and then contact NOWPayments. Learn more about the feature by reading the documentation.

Crypto-to-fiat conversion

Crypto-to-fiat conversion

Businesses that wish to feature a crypto payment method on their website but still would like to receive their money in fiat currencies can utilize NOWPayments’ crypto-to-fiat conversion feature. Basically, NOWPayments will convert all of the crypto payments of your customers to euros and will send it to your bank account.

At the same time, there is also an option of fiat-to-crypto conversion for die-hard fans of cryptocurrencies. Essentially, you can charge your clients in fiat but receive all payments in crypto.

Twitch crypto donations

Twitch crypto donations

Twitch live streaming is on the rise, and donations are a driving force of it. People enjoy watching their favorite online personalities play games, and they are willing to encourage them by sending them money. Some crypto enthusiasts also like to spend their pastime on Twitch, yet they often have no way of donating their crypto to streamers. NOWPayments’ Twitch donation button lets audience members donate crypto to the streamer.

Crypto widgets and links
