NOWPayments Vs CoinPayments Vs Larecoin: Which Crypto POS System Actually Gives You Financial Freedom?

Financial freedom isn't a marketing slogan. It's a business requirement.

Traditional payment processors take 2.5–3.5% of every transaction. That's thousands of dollars disappearing from your bottom line. Every. Single. Month.

Crypto payment solutions promise to change that. But here's the uncomfortable truth: not all crypto POS systems are built the same. Some still operate like the legacy systems they claim to replace.

Let's break down NOWPayments, CoinPayments, and Larecoin. No fluff. Just facts.

The Real Cost of "Affordable" Payment Processing

Interchange fees are killing merchant margins. Period.

A business processing $100,000 monthly in credit card transactions loses $2,500–$3,500 to payment processors. That's $30,000–$42,000 annually. Gone.

Crypto payments slash these fees dramatically. But the devil's in the details.

NOWPayments: The Numbers

What they offer:

• 300+ supported cryptocurrencies

• ~5-minute processing time (45 seconds for TON)

• 0.5–1% processing fees

• Customizable network fees

• Non-custodial approach

NOWPayments positions itself as a crypto acceptance layer. Merchants retain operational control. That's good.

The 300+ cryptocurrency support sounds impressive. But do your customers actually pay in obscure altcoins? Probably not.

The catch: NOWPayments requires merchants to handle more operational complexity. You're responsible for your own security. Your own key management. Your own compliance.

For tech-savvy merchants, that's manageable. For the average business owner? That's a headache.

CoinPayments: The Managed Approach

What they offer:

• 40+ supported cryptocurrencies

• Processing time ranges from minutes to hours

• 0.5–1% processing fees

• No customizable network fees

• Custodial model

CoinPayments takes the opposite approach. End-to-end managed service. Custodial features. Less control for merchants.

The problem: Custodial means they hold your funds. Not your keys. Not your crypto.

Processing times that range from "minutes to several hours" is a red flag. Inconsistency kills customer experience. Period.

No customizable network fees means less flexibility for larger merchants. You're locked into their structure.

Larecoin: Built Different

Here's where it gets interesting.

Larecoin doesn't just process payments. It rebuilds the entire merchant-customer relationship from the ground up.

Core advantages:

• Self-custody from day one

• Interchange fees slashed by 50%+

• NFT receipts for every transaction

• LUSD stablecoin integration

• Contactless POS systems

• Full merchant portal control

Self-Custody: The Non-Negotiable

Here's the thing most merchants don't understand: if you don't hold your keys, you don't own your money.

NOWPayments gets this partially right with their non-custodial approach. CoinPayments gets it wrong with custodial features.

Larecoin gets it completely right.

Every transaction settles directly to your wallet. No intermediary holding periods. No third-party access to your funds. No "we'll release your money in 3–5 business days."

Your crypto. Your control. Your financial freedom.

This isn't just philosophy. It's risk management. When payment processors collapse, and they do, custodial merchants lose everything. Self-custody merchants sleep well.

Slashing Interchange Fees by 50%+

Traditional payment processing: 2.5–3.5% NOWPayments: 0.5–1% CoinPayments: 0.5–1% Larecoin: Even lower with LUSD

But Larecoin goes further.

The LUSD stablecoin eliminates volatility concerns while maintaining the fee advantages of crypto payments. Merchants receive stable value. Customers pay with crypto. Everyone wins.

For a business processing $100,000 monthly:

• Traditional processing: $2,500–$3,500 lost

• Competitor crypto solutions: $500–$1,000 lost

• Larecoin: Maximized savings with LUSD stability

That's real money back in your pocket. Not theoretical savings. Actual margin improvement.

NFT Receipts: The Utility Nobody's Talking About

This is where Larecoin leaves competitors in the dust.

Every transaction generates an NFT receipt. Why does this matter?

For merchants:

• Immutable transaction records

• Automated bookkeeping

• Fraud-proof documentation

• Enhanced customer loyalty programs

For customers:

• Proof of purchase that can't be lost

• Warranty tracking built into the receipt

• Potential collectibility and brand engagement

• Complete transaction history ownership

NOWPayments doesn't offer this. CoinPayments doesn't offer this.

Larecoin builds it into every single transaction.

Think about returns, warranties, loyalty programs. Traditional paper receipts get lost. Email receipts get buried. NFT receipts live permanently on-chain, accessible anytime, verifiable always.

This isn't a gimmick. It's infrastructure for modern commerce.

The Comparison Table

Feature	NOWPayments	CoinPayments	Larecoin
Self-custody	Partial	No	Yes
Processing fees	0.5–1%	0.5–1%	Competitive + LUSD savings
Stablecoin integration	Limited	Limited	Native LUSD
NFT receipts	No	No	Yes
Processing speed	~5 min	Minutes to hours	Fast
Merchant portal	Basic	Managed	Full control
Contactless POS	No	No	Yes

The numbers don't lie.

Why Self-Custody Changes Everything

Let's get real for a second.

The entire promise of cryptocurrency is decentralization. Removing intermediaries. Owning your assets.

When a crypto payment processor holds your funds in custody, you've recreated the exact problem crypto was designed to solve. You've just swapped one middleman for another.

Larecoin's architecture ensures merchants maintain complete custody throughout the payment flow. Funds move directly from customer wallet to merchant wallet. No holding periods. No third-party risk.

This is what financial freedom actually looks like.

The LUSD Advantage

Volatility kills crypto adoption for merchants. Nobody wants to accept a payment worth $100 that's worth $85 by end of day.

LUSD solves this.

Larecoin's native stablecoin maintains dollar parity while operating entirely within the Web3 ecosystem. Merchants receive predictable value. Customers enjoy crypto payment benefits. The ecosystem grows.

NOWPayments offers crypto-to-fiat settlement. CoinPayments does too. But both require off-ramping: converting crypto back to traditional currency through banking channels.

LUSD keeps value within the ecosystem. Lower friction. Faster settlement. More control.

Making the Switch

Ready to stop bleeding money to payment processors?

Here's your move:

1. Visit Larecoin to explore the full ecosystem

2. Set up your merchant portal

3. Deploy contactless POS at your locations

4. Start accepting crypto with full self-custody

The transition is simpler than you think. And the savings start immediately.

The Bottom Line

NOWPayments and CoinPayments serve a purpose. They brought crypto payments to mainstream commerce. Credit where it's due.

But they're not built for financial freedom. They're built for payment processing.

Larecoin is built for merchants who want:

• Complete control over their funds

• Dramatically reduced transaction fees

• Innovative features like NFT receipts

• Stablecoin stability without volatility risk

• True Web3 integration from checkout to settlement

The question isn't whether crypto payments are the future. That's settled.

The question is: which crypto POS system actually delivers on the promise of financial freedom?

The answer is clear.
