NOWPayments is an all-in-one crypto payment ecosystem for businesses of every size. From accepting funds and sending payouts to managing balances, conversions, and integrations, we continue to expand the platform so partners can run their crypto operations with less manual work.
This month, we added USD1 support across five blockchain networks, introduced a Dashboard Payouts integration, updated fee information across the website, and launched a new comparison landing page.
These improvements give businesses more flexibility when working with digital assets, make first-time payout setup easier, and keep important product and pricing information clearer and more consistent.
What’s New?
We rolled out several updates across the NOWPayments platform and website this month. They include new asset support, a step-by-step payout onboarding flow, refreshed pricing information, and a dedicated page for businesses comparing payment providers.
Here is what’s new.
USD1 Is Now Available on Five Networks
What’s changed:
NOWPayments now supports USD1 across five blockchain networks:
- BNB Smart Chain
- Solana
- Ethereum
- TRON
- Aptos
Businesses can select the network that best matches their customers, existing wallets, or internal treasury workflows.
Why it matters:
Multi-chain USD1 means partners can build on multiple blockchains. They can choose whichever chain fits how they run things and what their customers prefer, whether they’re accepting, holding, or sending USD1.
It also makes USD1 easier to incorporate into existing payment and settlement flows across different blockchain ecosystems.
Dashboard Payouts Integration
What’s changed:
We added a new Dashboard Payouts integration to help partners create their first payout directly from their NOWPayments account.
The flow takes users through the key setup stages, including:
- topping up the account balance
- adding an IP address to the whitelist
- confirming security settings with two-factor authentication
- selecting the payout method
- reviewing the recipient, amount, fee, and status
Partners can choose between two payout routes:
- a ChangeNOW Pro email payout to a ChangeNOW account
- a standard payout to an external crypto wallet
The guided integration is complete once the payout reaches the ‘Finished’ status. You only go through this setup once. It walks you through the steps before your regular payouts begin.
First, you add funds to cover a test payout.
Next, you whitelist an IP address.
Any whitelist change requires two-factor authentication.
Payouts to a ChangeNOW Account
With the ChangeNOW Pro option, the sender enters the payout amount and the recipient’s email address.
The recipient gets an email notification. If needed, a ChangeNOW account is created for them. After that, the funds are available in their account.
The interface also shows this payout route has no fees.
Payouts to an External Wallet
Partners who prefer to send funds directly to a crypto address can use the external wallet option.
You’ll need to enter and confirm the destination address before you can finish the transaction. If you need to add a new wallet, you can do that right from this setup.
Any new address needs two-factor authentication.
After the transaction is created, the last screen shows the payout details, fee, and current status.
It also points you to Mass Payouts if you need to automate larger payout workflows.
Why it matters:
The new integration brings the most important payout steps into one guided experience. New partners do not have to navigate several account sections separately to understand balance top-ups, whitelisting, security verification, and payout creation.
It also makes it easier to compare the two available routes: sending funds to an external wallet or using an email-based ChangeNOW Pro payout.
New Standard Rates and Custom Offers
What’s changed:
Following an update to our standard pricing, we reviewed fee information across the NOWPayments website and replaced outdated references.
The website now reflects the applicable standard rates:
- 1% for single-currency payments
- 1.5% for multi-currency payments
We also clarified how custom pricing works. Eligible businesses may receive an individually agreed rate as low as 0.3%. This is not a standard rate and is available only through a custom commercial offer.
If you want a full breakdown of service fees, network fees, discounts, and custom pricing, check out our Full Guide on NOWPayments Fees and Discounts.
Why it matters:
When pricing info is the same everywhere, businesses can better estimate their costs. They can also see the difference between standard fees, discounts, and custom terms.
Partners browsing different NOWPayments pages will now find the same up-to-date details across the site. The full guide goes deeper into how the fee structure works.
New CoinPayments Alternative Landing Page
What’s changed:
We launched a new CoinPayments alternative landing page for businesses comparing crypto payment providers.
This page is more than a checkout page. It covers the whole NOWPayments ecosystem. That includes payment acceptance, payouts, supported assets, stablecoin options, and flexible integrations.
For now, people find this page through search or a direct link. It’s not part of the main site navigation.
Why it matters:
If you’re looking for an alternative, you can land on a focused page that matches your search. You don’t have to dig through several general product pages.
The new layout also makes it easier to see how NOWPayments supports both incoming and outgoing crypto.
