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
  • Quoted 0.5%/1% fees exclude underlying blockchain network/gas fees
  • 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+)

redfacepay

Pros

  • Multiple ways to get paid in one platform — Payment Links, a Merchant Dashboard, and NFC tap-to-pay tools
  • Dedicated WooCommerce integration (RedFace Product Sync plugin) for online sellers
  • Publishes developer API documentation for custom integrations

Cons

  • No pricing plan names, prices, or billing details are available in public crawl evidence, despite a dedicated pricing page existing
  • Public evidence of company identity (legal entity name, headquarters, founding year) is thin — only a marketing tagline was captured
  • Evidence suggests a South Africa-focused offering (.co.za domain, Capitec Pay partner) with no indication of support for markets beyond South Africa
