The 3-Minute Guide to Switching from NOWPayments to Larecoin (Without Losing a Single Customer)

Why Merchants Are Making the Switch Right Now

NOWPayments works. But it's expensive.

Your customers don't care which payment processor you use. They care about fast checkout and low fees.

Larecoin delivers both: without the 1-2% markup NOWPayments charges on every transaction.

Here's what you gain by switching:

• 50-80% lower fees at scale compared to NOWPayments

• Sub-second settlement on Solana (vs ~5 minutes)

• NFT receipts as collectibles for customers

• LUSD stablecoin for zero-volatility transactions

• Self-custody from day one: your keys, your crypto

• No intermediary holding your funds for 24-48 hours

Let's get you migrated in three minutes flat.

Step 1: Set Up Your Larecoin Merchant Account (45 Seconds)

No complex onboarding. No multi-day approval process.

What You'll Need:

• A Solana-compatible wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or similar)

• Your business email

• Your existing product catalog

The Setup:

1. Visit Larecoin.com

2. Click "Merchant Dashboard"

3. Connect your wallet

4. Import your product list (or enter manually)

5. Generate your payment gateway code

Done.

Your Larecoin merchant account is live. NOWPayments requires KYC paperwork and 2-3 business days. You just finished in under a minute.

Step 2: Run Parallel Systems for 24 Hours (60 Seconds to Configure)

Never go dark on payment options.

The Strategy: Keep NOWPayments running. Add Larecoin as a second option.

Your customers get choice. You get data on which processor they prefer.

Implementation:

• Add Larecoin payment button next to existing NOWPayments option

• Set Larecoin as "preferred" with a 2% discount incentive

• Monitor transaction volume for 24 hours

• Compare settlement times and actual fees

Most merchants see 60-70% of customers choosing Larecoin within the first day. Lower fees. Faster checkout. NFT receipts.

The data speaks.

Step 3: Communicate the Change (30 Seconds per Channel)

Your customers need zero explanation about backend payment processors.

But transparency builds trust.

Quick Communication Template:

Email Subject: "We've Upgraded Your Checkout Experience"

Body: "Starting [DATE], we're offering faster crypto payments with lower fees. Same coins accepted. Faster settlement. Plus: get a free NFT receipt with every purchase. Your payment security remains unchanged. Questions? Reply to this email."

Social Media Post: "Big news: We've switched to Larecoin for crypto payments. What does that mean for you? Lower checkout fees, instant settlement, and collectible NFT receipts. Same trusted service. Better tech."

That's it.

No technical jargon. No lengthy explanations.

Step 4: Test Every Payment Flow (45 Seconds)

Before you flip the switch completely, test everything.

Critical Test Points:

• Desktop checkout flow

• Mobile checkout flow

• Refund processing

• Multi-currency transactions (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, LUSD)

• Email confirmations

• NFT receipt delivery

Run test transactions using Solana devnet tokens. Larecoin's test environment mirrors production exactly.

If something breaks in testing, it won't break for real customers.

Step 5: Migrate Transaction History (Optional: 60 Seconds)

NOWPayments holds your transaction data. You might want it.

What to Export:

• Customer wallet addresses (for marketing)

• Transaction IDs (for accounting)

• Refund records (for tax purposes)

How to Migrate:

1. Export CSV from NOWPayments dashboard

2. Import to Larecoin merchant portal

3. Map fields (wallet address, amount, date, token type)

This step is optional. Larecoin starts fresh if you prefer.

But having historical data helps with customer service inquiries and tax reporting.

The Self-Custody Advantage You Can't Ignore

NOWPayments holds your funds. Then releases them on their schedule.

Larecoin? Your wallet receives payment instantly. No middleman. No waiting period. No "processing fees" for early withdrawal.

The Math:

• NOWPayments: 1.5% + network fee + 24-48 hour hold

• Larecoin: Gas-only fee (typically $0.10-$0.50) + instant settlement

For a $10,000 monthly transaction volume:

• NOWPayments: ~$150 in fees + delayed access

• Larecoin: ~$15-30 in fees + immediate access

That's $120-135 saved monthly. $1,440-1,620 saved annually.

Scale that to $100k monthly volume? You're saving $14,000+ per year.

NFT Receipts: The Feature Your Customers Actually Want

NOWPayments sends a confirmation email. Boring.

Larecoin sends an NFT receipt. Collectible. Shareable. Memorable.

Why This Matters:

• Customers show off their NFT receipts on social media (free marketing)

• Limited edition receipts for special purchases create urgency

• Receipts double as loyalty program entries

• Future airdrops can be sent to receipt holders

One Larecoin merchant reported a 34% increase in social media mentions after implementing NFT receipts.

Zero additional marketing spend. Just a better receipt format.

LUSD: The Stablecoin That Eliminates Volatility Risk

Accepting BTC or ETH means price risk between checkout and settlement.

NOWPayments offers instant conversion: for an extra 1% fee.

Larecoin's LUSD stablecoin? Pegged 1:1 to USD. Zero conversion fees.

The Customer Experience:

1. Customer sees price in USD

2. Pays in LUSD (or any crypto: auto-converted)

3. You receive exact USD value in LUSD

4. Convert to fiat when you choose (no forced timeline)

No volatility. No surprise losses. No mandatory conversion windows.

What About Your Existing NOWPayments API Integration?

Larecoin's API follows REST standards. If you've integrated NOWPayments, you already understand the structure.

Key Differences:

• Authentication: Wallet signature vs API key

• Settlement: Instant vs delayed

• Supported chains: Solana-native + bridged assets vs multi-chain

Migration Time:

• Simple integration: 15-30 minutes

• Complex custom build: 2-4 hours

Most developers report the Larecoin API is cleaner and better documented.

Zero Downtime = Zero Lost Sales

The biggest fear when switching processors? Payment failures during migration.

The Solution: Larecoin's parallel integration system lets you test fully before removing NOWPayments.

Run both for a week. Monitor. Compare. Then make the switch.

Customers never experience a failed transaction. You never lose a sale.

The Bottom Line: Three Minutes to Freedom

NOWPayments isn't bad. It's just expensive and centralized.

Larecoin gives you the same functionality with:

• 50-80% lower fees

• Instant self-custody

• NFT receipts as marketing tools

• LUSD for zero volatility

• Sub-second Solana settlement

Your customers won't notice the backend change. They'll notice the faster checkout and occasional discount from your fee savings.

That's the whole point.

Better tech. Lower costs. Merchant independence.
