Email Subscriptions API

Email Subscriptions API

With NOWPayments’ Email Subscriptions API, you can automate regular payments for your customers and simplify your workflows. Start by creating a Recurring Payments plan using the provided method. Update existing plans as needed, and retrieve information about specific plans or all created plans. Utilize the API to send payment links via email, allowing customers to conveniently make payments. You can also view and manage recurring payments, including filtering them by status or plan ID. Lastly, delete specific payments from the recurring plan when necessary. Enhance your payment processes with NOWPayments’ Email Subscriptions API.

Accelerated Loading of Invoices

We have significantly optimized the loading time of invoices on the platform. Previously, the loading process took a considerable amount of time as all partner invoices were unloaded when the page loaded. Now, we load a list of the first 20 invoices, improving the overall performance of the section. The loading time has been reduced from an average of 3.5 seconds to impressive ~500-600 milliseconds, making it approximately 7 times faster.

Faster Login to Personal Account

We have boosted the login speed to the Personal Account, making it similar to the login experience in the API. The login process is now 15-16 times faster, reducing the time from 2.77 seconds to just 170 milliseconds.

Redesigned Coins Settings Page

Redesigned Coins Settings Page

The coins settings page has undergone a redesign, providing a cleaner and more organized look. Additionally, the network associated with each coin is now displayed next to it, allowing for easier identification and selection.

Network Indication on Payment Page

To enhance transparency during the payment process, we have added a network indication on the payment page when selecting tokens. This feature helps users identify the network associated with the selected tokens, ensuring a seamless and accurate transaction experience.
