Push Button Feature | Comprehensive Guide

The Push Button is a powerful new feature that allows users to initiate payments with a single click. Designed to simplify the payment process, this tool reduces the steps involved in dealing with situations when manual action is required, leading to faster and more frictionless payments.

With our new stuck payment Push Button, everything is streamlined. Now, when a payment gets stuck, you can manage the whole process directly from your dashboard — no support tickets, no delays.

The Old Way vs. The New Way

Previously, if a payment got stuck (which can happen for several reasons — exchange rate fluctuation, incorrect deposit amount, or late deposits), fixing it was a bit of a hassle. Here’s what the process used to look like:

  1. First, you’d need to reach out to our customer support team for help.
  2. Support would then provide you with the latest exchange rate to continue the transaction.
  3. You had to confirm that you were okay with the updated rate.
  4. Finally, after all that, you’d wait again while the payment was processed.

Even if you’d requested an automatic continuation of payments, we couldn’t automate this on our end due to technical limitations. So, you had to go through these steps every time, which could be a bit of a headache.

How the Push Button changes the process

Here’s how it works:

  1. If a payment gets stuck, you’ll see it right away in your dashboard, along with the reason it stalled.
  2. The current rate at which you can continue the payment will be displayed for you.
  3. Like the rate? Great! Just press the Push button, and the payment will be processed immediately.
  4. As long as the exchange rate doesn’t drop further during the processing time, your payment will be completed without any extra steps.

Pros: you don’t have to find out the current rate through the support, coordinate it and wait for everything to go. If the exchange rate sags after the push – the payment will stand up again

When Does the Push Button Appear?

The “Push Button” feature is a highly useful tool for resolving common payment issues quickly and efficiently. It provides merchants with the flexibility to address various transaction errors without the need for support team intervention. This feature not only saves time but also enhances the user experience by enabling quicker resolutions. Here are three examples where the Push Button feature is particularly handy:

1. Incorrect Asset Deposits

Imagine a customer accidentally sends a payment using Bitcoin instead of the intended USDT. In the past, this error would require a lengthy support process to rectify. With the Push Button, however, you can resolve this issue instantly by confirming the deposit directly through the control panel, making the funds available within minutes. This is incredibly helpful for businesses that frequently deal with various cryptocurrencies, as it prevents delays and ensures transactions are processed efficiently.

2. Outdated Rate or Excessive Deviance

Sometimes, due to fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices, the rate might deviate too far from the original estimate or become outdated. Traditionally, correcting this required verification and confirmation from support, which could take some time. Now, if this situation arises, the Push Button allows you to approve the transaction rate directly, allowing for a quick, on-the-spot resolution. This feature helps avoid losing a transaction due to price changes and allows you to adapt swiftly to market conditions.

3. Deposits Made Using an Incorrect Network

A common issue occurs when a customer selects the wrong network for a transaction—such as using TRON instead of Ethereum for a USDT transfer. Previously, this mistake would have led to delays and manual verification with the support team. Now, with the Push Button, you can immediately confirm the transaction and proceed with the exchange, regardless of the network or asset used. This flexibility ensures that you can accommodate user errors quickly, enhancing customer satisfaction and minimizing disruptions.

In each of these scenarios, the Push Button feature streamlines the resolution process, reducing downtime and ensuring that transactions are processed with minimal hassle. By giving you the power to handle these issues directly, NOWPayments has significantly improved the speed and efficiency of transaction management, making it an invaluable tool for merchants.
