How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Scammers — be careful. They’re charging more than 30% not as stated 0.5% in fee! I sent 30 USDT and only got 19.12 USDT. That’s way too high — better use another crypto payment service. makes no sense. It’s like I somehow owe them money just to receive funds. This topic was modified 2 months, 4 weeks ago by bh962401.

    BTC payments only work at around €39.00, which is far too high for stores that also offer items for €5-10 Many other currencies only work from 4.30€ everything below this price you get an error message in the checkout of the NowPayment page. I don’t quite understand the fees, according to the website 1% for an amount of 1,00€ with LTC you get 0,62€ which is more than 1% deduction for this payment. Otherwise the plugin works very well, there is a large selection of currencies.

    不是nowpayments官方的插件,这是不怀好意的个人仿冒的,界面和官方插件一样,这个仿制的插件额外扣费极高,我已0.5usdt测试,最终仅到账0.16680312 USDT。 Amount sent0.49988114 USDT / received 0.16680312 USDT 请到官方网站下载正版插件nowpayments.io,安装后会显示作者:nowpayments.io
