Balance top-ups
A permanent address per customer — they can pay any amount at any time.
Billing integration
The deposit.confirmed webhook credits funds to the customer’s account.
ETH and tokens together
One Ethereum address accepts both ETH and USDT/USDC — the customer picks the coin.
In hosting, revenue is made up of many top-ups of different sizes. Deposit addresses save you from issuing an invoice for each one: the customer keeps their address and tops up whenever they need to.
ETH suits customers who received it as income or hold it long term and don’t want to swap into a stablecoin before paying.
Recommended coin set for hosting and VPN
To cover most customers, enable on the checkout page: USDT TRC-20, USDT BEP-20, USDT on TON. The customer picks the network, and every payment lands on one project balance.
One request to create a payment
