Installments via invoices
Issue several invoices for parts of a course from the dashboard.
Exact amount and QR code
The customer sees the amount down to the last digit, the address and a QR code. The page shows the official USDT contract so the token can’t be confused.
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.
The main mistake when accepting USDT TRC-20 on your own is using one address for every customer. Then there’s no way to tell who actually paid. Moonvex issues a separate address for each payment, or a permanent deposit address for each customer, so every incoming transfer is unambiguously tied to an order.
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 TRC-20?
USDT TRC-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.
What happens if a customer sends USDT on a different network?
The payment page shows the network prominently along with the official token contract. A TRON address starts with the letter T and doesn’t work for BEP-20 or ERC-20, so most wallets won’t let a transfer go out on the wrong network.
How will the student know the payment went through?
The payment page shows the status right after confirmation, and your system receives a webhook.
How fast is a payment credited?
Usually within a couple of minutes: the payment is credited once two TRON network nodes have independently confirmed the transaction.
