Larecoin vs. NOWPayments: How to Slash Your Merchant Interchange Fees by 50%

Stop paying the "growth tax."

If you are a merchant in 2026, you already know the drill. Traditional credit card processors eat 3% of your revenue. You switched to crypto thinking it would solve the problem. Then you saw the bill from NOWPayments or CoinPayments.

Percentage-based fees are a relic of the old banking system. They don’t belong in Web3.

Larecoin is here to change the math. We aren't just an alternative; we are a complete overhaul of how your business handles money. By moving to a gas-only model on the Solana blockchain, Larecoin allows you to reduce merchant interchange fees by 50% to 80% compared to legacy crypto processors.

Let’s break down why your current processor is holding you back and how Larecoin sets you free.

The Percentage Trap: Why NOWPayments Costs You More as You Grow

NOWPayments and CoinPayments operate on a percentage-based model. Usually, it's between 0.5% and 1%. On top of that, you pay network fees. Then you pay withdrawal fees to get your money out of their platform.

It sounds small. It isn't.

If your business processes $100,000 a month, a 1% fee is $1,000. Over a year, that’s $12,000 gone. As your business scales to $1 million a month, you are handing over $10,000 every single month just for the privilege of moving your own money.

That is the "Growth Tax."

Larecoin kills the percentage model. We use a gas-only pricing model.

On the Solana blockchain, the cost per transaction is approximately $0.00025. It doesn’t matter if the customer is sending you $10 or $10,000. The cost to the network is the same. Larecoin doesn't add a markup. We don't take a cut of your hard-earned revenue.

At a $5 million annual volume, switching from NOWPayments to Larecoin can save you over 80% in total costs. That’s capital you can reinvest in inventory, marketing, or R&D.

Self-Custody: Your Keys, Your Revenue

When you use NOWPayments, they hold your funds. You have to request a withdrawal. You are at the mercy of their liquidity and their terms of service.

Larecoin is built for self-custody merchant accounts.

When a customer pays you via the Larecoin ecosystem, the funds move directly from their wallet to your Larecoin smart wallet. There is no intermediary. No one can freeze your account. No one can delay your settlement.

This is true financial sovereignty. You are your own bank. Your receivables are available the moment the transaction hits the block.

NFT Receipts for Accounting: The End of Bookkeeping Nightmares

Traditional accounting for crypto is a mess. You’re stuck matching wallet addresses to CSV exports and trying to prove to the taxman what each transaction was for.

Larecoin solves this with NFT receipts for accounting.

Every transaction processed through the Larecoin portal generates a blockchain-verified NFT receipt. This isn't just a digital image; it’s a data-rich token that contains:

• Transaction amount

• Timestamp

• SKU/Product info

• Tax data

These NFT receipts are permanent, immutable, and easily searchable via the Larecoin Layer 1 blockchain explorer. It makes auditing a breeze and ensures your business stays compliant without the manual labor.

LUSD Stablecoin: Real-World Utility Without the Volatility

One of the biggest hurdles for small businesses entering Web3 is volatility. You can't pay your rent if the Bitcoin you accepted yesterday dropped 10% today.

Larecoin integrates the LUSD stablecoin.

Accepting LUSD gives you the speed of crypto with the stability of the dollar. It’s the perfect receivables token for global trade. Whether you are a local coffee shop using a crypto POS system for small business or a global wholesaler, LUSD ensures your margins stay protected.

With LUSD, you get:

• Instant liquidity.

• Zero price slippage.

• Seamless integration with the Larecoin exchange and liquidity pools.

Speed Matters: Sub-Second Settlement Finality

NOWPayments can take up to 5 minutes (or more depending on the chain) to settle a transaction. In a retail environment, that's an eternity. No one wants to stand at a counter for 5 minutes waiting for a confirmation.

Larecoin leverages Solana’s high-performance architecture. We offer sub-second settlement finality.

By the time your customer puts their phone back in their pocket, the transaction is settled. The funds are in your wallet. The NFT receipt is minted.

The AI Edge: Larecoin.ai and the Future of Merchant Portals

We aren't just processing payments; we are optimizing your entire business.

Through larecoin.ai, we are integrating machine learning and AI to help merchants analyze their transaction data. Our AI/ML search tools allow you to forecast revenue, identify buying patterns, and manage inventory across the metaverse and physical storefronts.

Imagine a merchant portal that doesn't just show you a balance, but tells you which products are trending in the Larecoin classified ads or which regions are seeing a spike in LUSD usage. That is the power of the Larecoin ecosystem.
