Set up NOWPayments gateway

This guide will walk you through the process of integrating NOWPayments gateway as a payment method, enabling smooth and secure transactions.

Before proceeding, you will also need to create a NOWPayments (https://nowpayments.io) account and install the NOWPayments app on your MetaFox site.

Log into your site with Admin user and go to AdminCP > App Settings > Payment > Gateways. Then Edit the NOWPayments option.

On the Edit form, configure fields as below
