Spreading Adoption: 1500+ New Partners

A major highlight of the year was welcoming over 1500 new partners, including JetTon and Advabet, into our fold. These forward-thinking businesses have embraced the future of transactions by integrating cryptocurrency payments through NOWPayments. This expansion not only signifies our growing community but also reflects the increasing trust and reliance on digital currencies in the commercial sphere.

More Assets for Payments: 60+ New Additions

Our commitment to diversity in cryptocurrency options saw a major leap with the addition of more than 60 new cryptocurrencies. This expansion caters to the varied preferences of our customers, ensuring that everyone finds their preferred coin for transactions, thereby enhancing the user experience manifold.


Key Features Introduced in 2023

Optimized Dashboard for Partners

In a significant move to simplify the onboarding process, we introduced the ‘Simplified Coin Enablement‘ feature. With this, all coins are now enabled by default for new partners, eliminating the need for manual selection. For our existing partners, worry not! Your previously selected preferences remain intact, ensuring a seamless transition.

Fast Transaction Speed

Efficiency is key in payments, and we’ve turbocharged our transaction processing speed by 20-30%. This leap in performance is attributed to the optimization of various processes, including the implementation of a local cache and request optimization. Fast, efficient, and reliable – that’s how we like our transactions!

Crypto Subscription Management

2023 also saw the launch of our billing plans and customer subscription management features. Users can now effortlessly create recurring subscriptions, add customers to plans, and monitor debit transactions and balances. This feature is a game-changer for businesses looking to streamline their subscription services.

Enhanced Crypto Affiliate Program

Our affiliate program received a major boost, now offering a generous 25% of the calculated fee amount in both BTC and USD. Eligibility hinges on completed payments and a year of active affiliate account status. We believe in rewarding our partners handsomely, and this program is a testament to that belief.

Wallet Connect Integration

This year we announced the integration of WalletConnect for invoice payments, supporting chains like ETH, BSC, and Polygon. This feature enhances the payment process by making it faster and more user-friendly, aligning with our goal of providing a seamless transaction experience.

Innovating Crypto Invoice UX/UI 

A significant update in 2023 was the overhaul of our invoice UX/UI design. This enhancement focuses on improving the visual and functional aspects of our invoices, ensuring a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for our clients.
