A non-custodial NOWPayments alternative
NormiePay is a NOWPayments alternative built for digital products, SaaS and paid communities that want USDC checkout without a processor sitting between them and their money. Every payment is split on-chain by a smart contract and lands in your own wallet — there is no balance to withdraw and no account that can be frozen.

Keep custody of every payment
The tradeoff with most crypto processors is custody: your customer pays them, and they pay you later. NormiePay removes that middle step. A unique smart-contract deposit address is created per checkout, pre-committed to a fixed split, and paid out the instant the customer sends funds — so nothing can be held, delayed, or lost in between.
Stablecoin-first, not coin-roulette
NormiePay focuses on USDC — a dollar-pegged stablecoin — on two low-fee chains, so what your customer pays is what you keep, with gas that is usually a fraction of a cent. No volatility to hedge, no long tail of obscure tokens to reconcile.
