How well Ethereum (ETH) fits a Telegram bot

As an extra option · Fit 17%

Enable it for customers who hold this coin, but pick another one as the main method.

Pros

Transfers confirm quickly, so the customer does not wait on the checkout page.

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.

Network: Ethereum
Coins: ETH, USDT, USDC
Addresses: 0x…, per payment or per customer
Notifications: HMAC-signed webhooks

One payment link

paymentUrl opens in Telegram’s browser, so the customer isn’t away from the messenger for long.

TON and USDT

Telegram wallet, TRC-20 and other networks — the customer chooses.

ETH and tokens together

One Ethereum address accepts both ETH and USDT/USDC — the customer picks the coin.

The bot flow is simple: the user taps “Buy”, the bot calls POST /v1/payments with orderId = user and product id, and sends a button with paymentUrl. The payment.confirmed webhook is the signal to grant access or deliver a key or file.

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 in a Telegram bot

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.
