Accept cryptocurrency in WooCommerce
NOWPayments for WooCommerce Pro is a WooCommerce cryptocurrency payment gateway built around the NOWPayments platform. It enables stores to accept cryptocurrency payments at checkout and includes the core gateway capabilities together with additional tools for displaying and merchandising cryptocurrency information across a store.
The gateway supports more than 300 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monero, Solana, Cardano, Polygon, USDT, USDC, DAI, and other assets. The supported coin list is automatically synced from NOWPayments, helping the payment method reflect the assets available through the platform.
Payment workflow
Stores can use automatic conversion to a preferred settlement currency and configure payouts to wallets or bank accounts. Processing uses an API connection, and the plugin includes a sandbox mode for testing. WooCommerce Blocks compatibility is also included, allowing the payment method to be used with supported block-based checkout experiences.
The setup is intended to take place through familiar WooCommerce and NOWPayments settings. API keys are configured from the NOWPayments Dashboard, after which the payment gateway can be enabled in WooCommerce settings. A sandbox account can be used while testing the payment flow before accepting payments in the store.
Pro tools for crypto merchandising
The Pro edition extends the payment gateway with features that help stores present cryptocurrency information on product, shop, and content areas. These tools can be useful when a store wants to explain available assets, display changing market information, or support more specialized payment scenarios.
- Crypto subscriptions: Add support for cryptocurrency subscription payments in WooCommerce.
- Cryptocurrency icons: Display crypto icons on product and shop pages.
- Live ticker widgets: Present live ticker information in widget areas.
- Crypto pricing cards: Add card-style cryptocurrency price displays.
- Dynamic crypto price tables: Show cryptocurrency prices in table formats.
- Graph widgets: Add graph-based crypto information to suitable store areas.
- Multi-currency labels: Use labels for multiple currencies in the store interface.
- Enhanced UI components: Extend the presentation of supported crypto-related elements.
Practical store uses
A store can use the gateway to make cryptocurrency available alongside its other WooCommerce payment methods. Product and shop page icons can help visitors identify supported assets, while pricing cards, tables, tickers, and graphs provide additional cryptocurrency information around the shopping experience.
Subscription support is suited to WooCommerce stores that offer recurring products or services and want cryptocurrency to be part of that payment workflow. Sandbox testing provides a place to review configuration and payment behavior before using the gateway with live store activity.
Support and ongoing improvements
The source information lists professional merchant support for the gateway and priority support for the Pro edition. Pro also includes continuous feature updates. These support-related benefits are presented alongside the plugin’s API configuration and WooCommerce payment settings.
Getting started
Install the plugin, configure the API keys from the NOWPayments Dashboard, and enable the payment gateway under WooCommerce settings. If needed, set up a sandbox account first, review the checkout payment method, and then use the configured gateway for cryptocurrency orders.
