NovyPay Token
Overview
NovyPay Tokens act like virtual debit/credit cards but operate with USDC instead of fiat currency. Merchants can use the NovyPay API to collect USDC payments by initializing a payment and redirecting users to confirm.
Step 1: Create a NovyPay Token
Before initiating any payment, the user must have a NovyPay Token. This token represents their USDC "card" and allows them to authorize payments.
🔗 Go to https://novypay.app and create a token under your dashboard.
Step 2: Initialize a Payment
