One of the simplest things about PayPal is that you can send money to someone using their email address. NOWPayments and ChangeNOW PRO bring that familiar interaction to crypto mass payouts: instead of collecting a wallet address from every recipient, businesses can send crypto using an email.
Underneath, the infrastructure remains crypto-native. NOWPayments handles the business payout flow, while ChangeNOW PRO provides the recipient environment. The result is a simpler way to send stablecoins and other crypto to affiliates, creators, contractors, customers, and other recipients at scale.
How to Send ChangeNOW Pro Payouts with NOWPayments
Sending crypto by email through NOWPayments takes just a few steps.
Step 1. Open Mass Payouts
Log in to NOWPayments and open Mass Payouts.
Step 2. Add recipients
Enter recipients manually, upload a CSV, or automate payouts through the API. For ChangeNOW PRO payouts, use the recipient’s email.
Step 3. Send
Select ChangeNOW PRO, review the payout details, and send.
Step 4. Recipient gets access
Existing users receive the funds in their ChangeNOW PRO accounts. For new users, an account is automatically created for their email so they can sign up and claim the funds.
Why Crypto Payouts Get Hard at Scale
Paying one affiliate to a crypto wallet is easy. Paying 1,000 is where things get complicated.
Someone has to collect 1,000 wallet addresses, make sure every recipient selected the right network, follow up with people who submitted incorrect details, account for transaction fees, and answer the inevitable “where is my payment?” messages afterward. Add another few thousand recipients, and what looked like a payment task starts looking like an operations function.
That is the real challenge with crypto mass payouts. The transaction itself is not necessarily the difficult part. It is everything a business has to organize around it.
How Email Simplifies Crypto Mass Payouts
Most businesses already have the email addresses of their affiliates, creators, contractors, sellers, or customers. They should not necessarily need to build and maintain a second database of wallet addresses just to pay those people in crypto.
Email makes the payout process simpler:
- No wallet collection. Use recipient information you already have.
- Fewer checks. There are fewer wallet and network details to validate.
- Simpler onboarding. Recipients do not need an external wallet beforehand.
- Less support. Teams spend less time resolving wallet and network issues.

The ecosystem connects both sides of the payout:
- NOWPayments handles the infrastructure: payments, mass payouts, APIs, automation, settlement, and reporting.
- ChangeNOW PRO serves the recipient: users can hold and manage crypto, make transfers, and continue using the ecosystem.
- Recipient activity can create additional value: eligible activity within ChangeNOW PRO can generate affiliate cashback opportunities for the business.
Instead of treating every payout as the end of a transaction, businesses can use payouts to bring recipients into an ecosystem where continued activity supports engagement and creates an additional revenue opportunity.
