Looking For a CoinPayments Alternative? Here Are 10 Things You Should Know About Web3 Global Payments


Tired of CoinPayments?

You're not alone.

Merchants everywhere are searching for better options. Lower fees. True ownership. Real decentralization.

The crypto payment landscape has evolved. CoinPayments and NOWPayments served their purpose. But Web3 demands more.

Here are 10 things every merchant needs to know before choosing their next crypto payment solution.

1. Self-Custody Is Non-Negotiable Now

Traditional payment processors hold your funds.

That's the old model. The centralized model.

With CoinPayments, your crypto sits in their wallets. You're trusting a third party. Again.

Larecoin Crypto Payments Ecosystem

Web3 payments flip this script.

Self-custody means:

  • Your keys, your crypto

  • Instant access to funds

  • Zero withdrawal delays

  • No frozen accounts

Larecoin built its entire ecosystem around merchant independence. Funds go directly to YOUR wallet. Period.

2. Fee Structures Can Make or Break Your Business

Let's talk numbers.

CoinPayments charges 0.5% on transactions. NOWPayments sits around 0.5-1%.

Sounds small? Do the math on $100,000 in monthly volume.

That's $500-$1,000 gone. Every month. Forever.

The Larecoin difference:

  • Gas-only transfers

  • No percentage-based fees eating your profits

  • Keep more of what you earn

For high-volume merchants, this isn't just savings. It's survival.

3. NFT Receipts Are Changing Payment Verification

Paper receipts? Digital PDFs?

Ancient history.

NFT receipts deliver:

  • Immutable proof of transaction

  • Blockchain-verified records

  • Automatic audit trails

  • Customer engagement opportunities

Every payment through Larecoin can generate an NFT receipt. Verifiable. Permanent. Innovative.

Your accountant will thank you. Your customers will remember you.

4. Direct P2P Transfers Beat Custodial Models Every Time

Here's what happens with most payment processors:

  1. Customer pays

  2. Processor receives funds

  3. Processor holds funds

  4. You wait

  5. Maybe you get your money

With direct peer-to-peer transfers, it's simpler:

  1. Customer pays

  2. You receive funds

Done.

CryptoPay and DePay pioneered DApp-based gateways. Larecoin takes this further with its complete Web3 ecosystem.

No middleman holding your crypto hostage.

5. LUSD Stablecoin Eliminates Volatility Headaches

Accepting crypto is exciting.

Watching your revenue swing 20% overnight? Less exciting.

LUSD solves this.

Larecoin's stablecoin version gives merchants:

  • Price stability

  • Predictable accounting

  • Easy reconciliation

  • Reduced conversion anxiety

Accept payments in LARE or LUSD. Your choice. Your business. Your rules.

6. NOWPayments vs. CoinPayments vs. Web3 Solutions

Let's break down the competition.

CoinPayments:

  • Supports 175+ cryptocurrencies

  • 0.5% transaction fees

  • Custodial model

  • Established since 2013

NOWPayments:

  • Multiple blockchain networks

  • Indirect P2P transfers

  • Longer confirmation times

  • Custodial elements

Larecoin Web3 Payments:

  • True self-custody

  • Gas-only fees

  • NFT receipts

  • LUSD stablecoin option

  • Push-to-card functionality

  • Direct P2P architecture

The differences matter. Especially at scale.

7. Multi-Chain Support Is Essential in 2026

Single-chain solutions are limiting.

Your customers use Ethereum. And Solana. And Binance Smart Chain. And everything else.

Smart payment solutions support them all.

Larecoin integrates across major networks:

  • Solana for speed and low fees

  • Binance Smart Chain for accessibility

  • Cross-chain bridging capabilities

Don't force customers into your preferred blockchain. Meet them where they are.

8. Merchant Freedom Means More Than Lower Fees

Freedom isn't just about money.

It's about control.

Traditional processors control:

  • When you access funds

  • Which currencies you accept

  • How much you pay in fees

  • Whether your account stays active

One policy change. One "suspicious activity" flag. Frozen funds.

Decentralized solutions give you:

  • Instant fund access

  • Complete currency flexibility

  • Transparent, predictable costs

  • Censorship resistance

This is what Web3 payments were built for. Merchant independence isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

9. Confirmation Times Actually Matter

NOWPayments uses indirect transfers. Confirmation times range from minutes to... longer.

CoinPayments processes vary by currency. Bitcoin transactions can take 10-60 minutes.

In e-commerce, speed wins.

Direct P2P architectures with modern blockchains deliver:

  • 5-30 second confirmations

  • Instant payment verification

  • Better customer experience

  • Reduced cart abandonment

Your customers expect instant. Give them instant.

10. The Future Is Decentralized: Position Yourself Now

Here's the reality.

Centralized payment processors are legacy technology dressed in crypto clothing.

True Web3 payments look different:

  • Self-custody by default

  • Smart contract automation

  • NFT-based verification

  • Stablecoin integration

  • Cross-chain compatibility

Crypto Payments Made Easy

Early adopters of decentralized e-commerce captured massive market share. The same opportunity exists in payments.

Larecoin isn't just an alternative to CoinPayments. It's the next evolution.

Making the Switch: What to Expect

Ready to explore alternatives?

Here's your action plan:

  1. Audit current fees : Calculate exactly what CoinPayments or NOWPayments costs monthly

  2. Evaluate custody needs : Determine if self-custody fits your operational model

  3. Test integration : Most Web3 solutions offer simple merchant tools

  4. Start small : Run parallel systems before full migration

The Larecoin payment solution integrates quickly. No complex onboarding. No lengthy approval processes.

The Bottom Line

CoinPayments and NOWPayments built the foundation.

But foundations get upgraded.

Web3 global payments deliver what merchants actually need:

  • True ownership through self-custody

  • Real savings with gas-only fees

  • Innovation via NFT receipts

  • Stability through LUSD

  • Speed with direct P2P transfers

The question isn't whether to switch.

It's how soon.

Join the Larecoin community and connect with merchants already making the transition. Compare notes. Share experiences. Build the future of payments together.

Your crypto. Your business. Your freedom.

That's the Web3 way.
