Why accept USDT ERC-20
High-value invoices, B2B settlement and customers who keep funds on Ethereum-native wallets, exchanges or in DeFi. The most widely integrated USDT standard.
Universal support
If a wallet or exchange lists USDT, it supports ERC-20. Offering it means no customer is turned away, whatever they use to store their Tether.
Right-sized for large payments
Gas is a flat cost, so a $10,000 invoice pays the same fee as a $100 one. For B2B settlement and high-ticket goods, Ethereum's security is worth the few dollars.
Deep liquidity, clean audit trail
Ethereum has the deepest USDT liquidity and the most mature block explorers and analytics — useful when finance or compliance need to trace a payment.
Same balance as every other network
ERC-20 deposits land in your unified USDT balance next to TRC-20, BEP-20 and Solana. Withdraw on a cheaper network later; no bridging, no internal cross-chain fees.
How to accept USDT ERC-20 payments
Every network pays into the same USDT merchant balance — no cross-chain fees, no manual reconciliation.
-
Enable USDT on Ethereum in your dashboard
Switch on ERC-20 for USDT in the merchant dashboard. It appears at your checkout next to the other networks you accept.
-
Create the payment
Your checkout calls the API with the amount and network=ERC-20. We return a dedicated Ethereum deposit address and a payment window.
-
The customer sends USDT
They pay from any wallet or exchange that supports USDT on Ethereum. We watch the chain and mark the payment as detected, then confirmed.
-
You get the webhook and the balance
On confirmation we notify your server and credit your unified USDT balance — the same balance every other network pays into. Keep it, auto-convert, or settle to fiat.
Create a USDT ERC-20 payment in one call
One request returns a deposit address and a hosted checkout link; a webhook tells your server when the payment is detected and when it confirms.
