With the help of NOWPayments, the process of adding crypto as a payment option becomes easier than ever, moreover, we offer some advantages that set us apart from competitors:

1. Peer-to-peer payments. Cryptocurrency was initially created to serve the people. Crypto payments can be made quickly, safely, and without any bank intermediaries. NOWPayments follows this idea, since it is a non-custodial service. Mutual settlement between the customer and merchant occurs on the wallet-to-wallet principle, which affects not only security, but also the speed of payments.
2. Multicurrency. A successful merchant knows for sure that the more convenient and customized the service is, the more customers (and therefore sales) it attracts. You made the right choice by deciding to add crypto as a payment option. Another correct choice would be not to limit your customers to only certain cryptocurrencies. By the way, NOWPayments supports more than 100 coins. You can accept any of the 100 cryptocurrencies, and we convert them into the one that suits you.
