Introduction

NearPayments is a NOWPayments-compatible crypto payment processing API powered by NEAR Intents. It provides the same REST API surface as NOWPayments, so you can migrate by changing a single URL.

Why NearPayments?

• Zero platform fees — no percentage cuts on any transaction
• 16 supported chains — BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, TON, TRX, XRP, ADA, DOGE, LTC, ARB, BASE, POL, BSC, OP, AVAX
• Drop-in compatible — same endpoints, same schemas, same x-api-key auth
• HD wallet setup — configure all chain addresses from a single BIP-39 seed phrase
• Hosted invoices — shareable payment pages with currency selection
• IPN callbacks — real-time webhook notifications on payment status changes

Quick Start

1. Open the NearPayments Telegram Bot
2. Create a storefront
3. Configure your wallet addresses (or use HD wallet import)
4. Generate an API key
5. Replace api.nowpayments.io with api.nearpayments.io in your code

# Before
curl https://api.nowpayments.io/v1/status

# After
curl https://api.nearpayments.io/v1/status

That’s it. Your existing integration works immediately.

Base URL

https://api.nearpayments.io/v1

Authentication

All authenticated endpoints require an x-api-key header:

curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" https://api.nearpayments.io/v1/payment/123

API keys are generated through the Telegram Mini App.
