Pros
Keep in mind
- Telegram users often pay from the built-in wallet: add TON or USDT on TON as an option.
- The network fee is noticeable: for small orders add a cheaper network to the checkout, such as BEP-20, TON or Solana.
- The coin’s price moves: set the price in USD and the amount is converted at the rate fixed when the invoice is created.

Subscriptions
Moonvex issues the invoice for the next month and sends you an event.
Automatic access
The webhook is the signal for your bot to hand out an invite link.
ETH and tokens together
One Ethereum address accepts both ETH and USDT/USDC — the customer picks the coin.
The setup is simple: your sales bot creates a subscription via the API, sends a payment link and, once it receives the payment event, issues a one-time invite link to the channel. When a subscription isn’t renewed, the bot removes the member.
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 paid channels
To cover most customers, enable on the checkout page: USDT on TON, Toncoin (TON), USDT TRC-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.
