Students from any country

Crypto doesn’t depend on the payer’s bank or country.

Installments via invoices

Issue several invoices for parts of a course from the dashboard.

Micropayments

Low fees make even a couple of dollars per order worthwhile.

The fastest way to start is manual invoices: a manager creates an invoice in the dashboard or the Telegram bot and sends the student a link. As volume grows, connect the API to your platform.

Solana users are used to fast transfers: if a payment hangs for minutes, they leave. Moonvex tracks transfers and shows the status to the customer right away.

Recommended coin set for online schools

To cover most customers, enable on the checkout page: USDT TRC-20, USDT ERC-20, USDT BEP-20. The customer picks the network, and every payment lands on one project balance.

One request to create a payment
