0x… format, same as Ethereum

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.

Cheaper than Ethereum

The network fee for the customer is a matter of cents, which makes BEP-20 a good fit for small orders.

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.

0x addresses are the same on BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum, so customers sometimes pick the wrong network. In Moonvex, an address on the shared EVM key is watched on both networks, and the payment page shows in large type which network the transfer is expected on.

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

The response contains the address, the exact amount and a link to a ready-made payment page. Status updates arrive via HMAC-signed webhooks.

FAQ

Which currency should the price be in when customers pay in USDT BEP-20?

USDT BEP-20 is pegged to the dollar, so you can set the price in the coin or in USD; the amounts are nearly the same.

Can I connect it to GetCourse or another platform?

Yes, if the platform can call an external API and receive webhooks. Otherwise, use manual invoices.

Are BEP-20 and BEP-2 the same thing?

No. BEP-2 is the legacy BNB Beacon Chain network. Moonvex accepts BEP-20 tokens on BNB Smart Chain.

How will the student know the payment went through?

The payment page shows the status right after confirmation, and your system receives a webhook.

Do I need BNB for payouts?

The service tops up gas for payouts and fund sweeps; you don’t need to keep BNB on payment addresses.
