As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the NOWPayments platform, we are excited to announce several key updates and bug fixes for January 2026. This release focuses on improving transaction processing, user experience, and platform performance. Let’s dive into the details of what’s new this month!
What’s New?
This update includes several important improvements that enhance the functionality of NOWPayments, focusing on transaction handling, user experience, and platform stability. Here’s a breakdown of the key changes.
Fix for Status Changes in Extra Payments
What’s Changed:
We addressed an issue where the status of Extra payments (such as reposts and child payments) couldn’t be updated to “Cancelled” or “Finished.”
Why It Matters:
With this fix, status updates now work correctly across all payment types, providing better tracking and management of payments.
Fix for Fiat Payment Minimum Error Handling on Banxa
What’s Changed:
Previously, minimum amount errors for fiat payments via Banxa were not handled properly and were sent to partners in an unprofessional manner.
Now, error messages related to both minimum and maximum amounts are formatted clearly, such as:
“The fiat amount ‘1’ must be between ’20’ and ‘15000’.”
Why It Matters:
This improvement enhances error clarity, helping partners understand and resolve issues quickly, leading to a smoother transaction experience.
New Language Support on Mass Payments and Fiat On-Ramp Landing Pages
What’s Changed:
We’ve added the option to choose a language on the Mass Payments and Fiat On-Ramp landing pages, mirroring the language selection feature on our main page.
Why It Matters:
This update makes it easier for users to navigate the platform in their preferred language, improving the user experience for non-English speakers.
Portuguese Language Support on Additional Landing Pages
What’s Changed:
We’ve added Portuguese language options on several key landing pages:
Why It Matters:
Portuguese-speaking users can now access these important pages in their native language, making the platform more accessible to a wider audience.
0 Deposit Fee for USDT TRC20 Payments for New Partners
What’s Changed:
New partners registering on NOWPayments will enjoy a special promotion:
For the first two months after registration, no network fees will be charged for deposits made in USDT TRC20. After two months, standard deposit fees will apply.
Why It Matters:
This update provides new users with an incentive to join NOWPayments and start using our platform with no network fees for an initial period, enhancing the onboarding experience.
Benefits of the New Features
- Improved Payment Tracking: With the fix for status changes in Extra payments, users can now track and manage their payments more effectively.
- Clearer Error Messaging: The new error handling for fiat payment minimums on Banxa ensures users receive clear and actionable error messages, reducing confusion and speeding up resolution.
- Better Verification Process: The fix for re-verification issues means that payments can now only be verified once, improving workflow and preventing errors.
- Enhanced Language Support: The addition of Portuguese language options on key landing pages ensures that more users can interact with the platform in their preferred language, improving accessibility and user experience.
- Special Promotion for New Partners: New users can take advantage of the 0 network fee offer for USDT TRC20 payments, helping them save on fees during the onboarding process.
Conclusion
This update is packed with improvements designed to enhance security, usability, and overall platform performance. From fixes for payment status changes and re-verification processes to new language options and special promotions for new partners, these updates make NOWPayments more efficient and user-friendly. We’re committed to continually enhancing the user experience, and these changes mark an important step forward in that direction.
