How well USDT BEP-20 fits a Telegram bot

Good fit · Fit 67%

A good option next to your main coin.

Pros

  • Transfers confirm quickly, so the customer does not wait on the checkout page.
  • Low network fee: paying even small amounts makes sense for the customer.
  • A stablecoin pegged to the dollar: your revenue does not depend on the exchange rate.

Keep in mind

  • Telegram users often pay from the built-in wallet: add TON or USDT on TON as an option.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
