Pros & Cons
nowpayments
Pros
Non-custodial model — funds settle straight to the merchant's own wallet
Broad coin support with auto-conversion
Flat, published fee structure (0.5% direct / 1% with conversion)
Ready-made checkout plugins for WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, and Magento 2 plus a documented REST API
Actively serves higher-risk verticals many mainstream processors decline outright
Cons
Operating entity incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a lightly-regulated offshore jurisdiction
No publicly disclosed subscription/volume-tier pricing — larger volumes 'may' unlock lower fees only on request
Limited public detail on dispute/chargeback handling, notable given crypto payments' typical irreversibility
Inconsistent supported-coin counts across its own marketing pages (350+ vs 75+)
krokedil
Pros
Deep bench of Nordic-specific payment and shipping integrations (Klarna, Qliro, Swedbank Pay, Nets/Nexi, and more) that aren't natively available in WooCommerce
Individual, single-purpose plugins let merchants install only the integrations they actually need
Established, long-running vendor with plugins distributed through the official WordPress plugin directory
Cons
Primarily useful for merchants selling into the Nordic/European region — less relevant for stores outside that market
Requires running WooCommerce/WordPress, so it's not a fit for merchants on other e-commerce platforms
Public pricing for premium support or paid add-ons is not disclosed on the marketing site
