About the Company

Our mission is to make digital payments as easy as possible for everyone.

PayNow simplifies online crypto payments, creating a user-friendly and low-cost solution to digital payments. Utilizing transactions via USDC on Base Network, we're able to transact for next to nothing - unlike other payment processors. On top of that, PayNow users receive payments through their own custom wallet address such as shop.paynow.com instead of using complex wallet addresses. PayNow wallets are easy to remember, and with the ability to send invoices - we are making transactions more seamless and encouraging broader adoption accross various niches and use cases.
