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.
USDC and USDT
The two main stablecoins on one network — customers pay with whatever they have.
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.
Network fees on Ethereum are higher than on TRON or BSC, so it makes sense to offer ERC-20 for large payments and B2B invoices, with alternatives on other networks for small orders. One payment page can show several options.
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.
