A CoinPayments alternative for your deposit addresses
Unigox crypto processing is a CoinPayments alternative for platforms where each customer keeps one stablecoin address and every payment lands in one balance. Stay with CoinPayments for hosted invoices, store plugins and bitcoin.
When Unigox fits better than CoinPayments
Each customer keeps one address, and you want one balance
A CoinPayments permanent address keeps what it receives until it is swept: by a threshold you set in the dashboard, as part of a spend, or by API. Each sweep costs a transfer fee per address, the first one from each address adds a one-time activation fee, and spends from that wallet go one at a time. Temporary addresses avoid this but are recycled after use. Unigox credits each payment straight to your Unigox balance with the customer's ID, whichever of your addresses it reached.
CoinPayments lists no stablecoins on TON
CoinPayments' public currency list has no USDT or USDC on TON, and Toncoin itself is marked under maintenance. Unigox takes stablecoin payments on TON and Robinhood Chain, as well as on Tron, Solana and major EVM networks.
Your customers also withdraw in local money
CoinPayments can convert crypto for a bank payout to you, through partners where supported. Unigox also runs a Payments API that sends your customers local currency in their own bank or mobile money account, funded in USDT or USDC from your partner wallet.

When to stay with CoinPayments
You sell through WooCommerce or WHMCS, or send hosted invoices
CoinPayments hosts the invoice and payment window, sends invoices by link or email, offers Buy Now buttons, and has plugins for WooCommerce and WHMCS. On Unigox your team builds the checkout, so a WooCommerce or WHMCS shop would need custom code to show a Unigox address.
Your customers pay in bitcoin or other coins
CoinPayments takes Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ether, SOL, TRX and more, and can convert what arrives into another currency. Unigox crypto processing is built for USDT and USDC on the networks agreed at setup, and Bitcoin is not among its networks.
You want a listed price and to start without a call
CoinPayments shows a 1% payment fee on its coin list and lets a business sign up, verify and test with a test coin on its own. Unigox agrees networks, access and pricing with you first.
Your company is in the United States
Unigox does not currently offer its services in the United States, while CoinPayments names Centauri Pay LLC of Jersey City, New Jersey, among the companies behind its wallet services and leaves the US off its list of restricted countries.
CoinPayments vs Unigox on a customer deposit
| Topic | CoinPayments | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A crypto payment gateway for merchants: hosted invoices, payment buttons, plugins, wallets and per-customer addresses by API, conversion, and fiat payouts or card payments through partners where supported. | Crypto processing for platforms that take stablecoins: an address per invoice or per customer, each payment reported with your reference. |
| Customer address | Permanent addresses that keep receiving, or temporary ones recycled after an invoice completes or after a period without activity. Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin addresses are always permanent. | One address per invoice, or one a customer keeps for every top-up, tied to the invoice or customer ID you choose. |
| Where a payment lands | A permanent address holds funds until a threshold, a spend or an API call sweeps them, at a transfer fee per address each time and a one-time activation fee on the first. Temporary addresses pool into a wallet balance. Invoice payments go to your balance or out to an address at once, hourly, nightly or weekly. | Your Unigox balance, from every address. USDT arrives as USDT and USDC as USDC. |
| Short or extra payment | Invoices hold the rate for 60 minutes and refund funds that confirm later; you can set an underpayment tolerance. Address deposits take any amount, and your platform decides what counts as paid. | Your system is told the amount that actually arrived and applies its own rules to a short or extra payment. |
| Coins and networks | USDT on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, Arbitrum, Polygon and Solana; USDC on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and Solana. No USDT or USDC on TON, and Toncoin is marked under maintenance. | Crypto processing takes stablecoin payments on the major EVM networks (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Unichain and HyperEVM), Robinhood Chain, Tron, TON and Solana. Which stablecoins a business accepts on each network is agreed during setup. |
| Checkout | A hosted invoice page and payment window, an invoice builder, Buy Now buttons, and WooCommerce and WHMCS plugins, with more plugins in development. | Built by your team: the screen shows the address, the network, the stablecoin and the amount. |
| Deposit notifications | Signed, retried webhooks. A wallet webhook fires for every transaction that touches the wallet, sweeps and conversions included, with no way to pick event types; external deposits and withdrawals send one per confirmation. | A signed message per credited payment, with your reference and the amount received, plus a status lookup for any transfer. |
| API access | A client ID and secret from the dashboard; every request carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature. A sandbox with the LTCT test coin is open after sign-up. | Access details and signing requirements come with your setup. |
| Pricing | A 1% payment fee shown for each coin, lower for high monthly volume by agreement. Network fees on withdrawals. On permanent addresses, a transfer fee on every sweep and a one-time activation fee on the first. | No public price list; pricing is agreed with you before the first payment. |
| Regulation | Run by Coinpayments, Inc.; wallet and other virtual asset services come from PaidInSatoshi Inc. in Panama, Centauri Pay LLC in New Jersey or their partners. It cites ISO 27001 certification. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |

Common questions about CoinPayments
Which CoinPayments alternative suits a platform with many depositors?
One that gives each customer a lasting address and still leaves you with one balance. CoinPayments gives lasting addresses too, but funds stay on each one until an auto-sweep or a spend consolidates them, at a fee per address. Unigox crypto processing credits every customer's payments straight to your Unigox balance with their customer ID.
Compare crypto payment gatewaysHow does the CoinPayments API compare with Unigox?
The CoinPayments API signs each request with HMAC-SHA256 and covers invoices, wallets, addresses, withdrawals, conversion, rates and fees; its wallet webhook reports every transaction on the wallet, once per confirmation for external deposits and withdrawals. The Unigox integration is narrower: request an address for an invoice or customer reference, receive a signed message when a payment is credited, and look up a transfer's status.
What are CoinPayments fees?
Its coin list shows a 1% payment fee for every listed coin, with lower rates for high monthly volume through its sales team. Withdrawals carry the network fee. Each permanent address costs a transfer fee every time it is swept and a one-time activation fee on the first sweep. Unigox publishes no price list for crypto processing; we agree pricing with you on a call.
Which CoinPayments gateway features does Unigox not have?
Hosted invoices with a 60-minute payment window, Buy Now buttons, WooCommerce and WHMCS plugins, bitcoin and other coins, and automatic conversion of each incoming payment into another coin before it reaches your wallet. Unigox crypto processing takes stablecoins to addresses your own screens show; you can convert what you receive and withdraw it in a local currency available to your business.
Can my customers pay in stablecoins on TON?
On Unigox, yes: crypto processing takes stablecoin payments on TON, as well as on Tron, Solana, Robinhood Chain and major EVM networks. CoinPayments' currency list shows no USDT or USDC on TON.
Can I run CoinPayments and Unigox side by side?
Yes. Each is its own integration, so you can keep CoinPayments for hosted invoices and coins other than stablecoins and give your repeat depositors Unigox addresses. Nothing transfers between them: you show the new address to each customer you move.
