NOWPayments alternative
Only taking USDC? Stop paying a percentage for it.
If your buyers pay in stablecoins, you don't need a processor that supports 300 coins and takes a cut of each sale. StableCart takes USDC on Base straight into your own wallet, at a flat price.
What NOWPayments charges. Its pricing page lists a 1% service fee. Its WooCommerce plugin connects through a NOWPayments account and API keys.
Checked 24 September 2026 on nowpayments.io/pricing and its WordPress.org page. Compare against their current pages before deciding.
Side by side
| StableCart | NOWPayments | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee on sales | None. Free up to 20 orders a month, then $12 per 30 days | 1% service fee, per their pricing page |
| Setup | Paste a wallet address and save | A NOWPayments account and API keys |
| Coins | USDC on Base only | Hundreds of coins, with conversion |
| Where the money goes | Your own wallet, in the buyer's transaction | Payouts to a wallet or bank, per their description |
When a flat price wins
A 1% fee on $1,200 of monthly sales is $12 — the price of StableCart Pro. Above that, every sale costs you less with StableCart. Below 20 orders a month, StableCart is free.
| Monthly USDC sales | 1% fee | StableCart |
|---|---|---|
| $1,200 | $12 | $12 (or $0 under 20 orders) |
| $5,000 | $50 | $12 |
| $20,000 | $200 | $12 |
When NOWPayments is the better fit
Be honest with yourself about what your buyers use. If they pay in Bitcoin, Monero or dozens of altcoins, or you need your sales converted and sent to a bank, a multi-coin processor does things StableCart deliberately does not. StableCart does one thing: USDC on Base, straight to you.
Questions
Can I run StableCart next to NOWPayments?
Yes. They are separate WooCommerce payment methods, so you can offer USDC through StableCart and keep NOWPayments for other coins.
Does StableCart ever hold my money?
No. The buyer pays your wallet directly. StableCart only watches the Base network and tells your shop when the payment arrived.
What happens after 20 orders on the free plan?
New checkouts pause until the next calendar month, or until you buy Pro for $12 per 30 days in the plugin settings. Pro is not a recurring subscription.
