Accept USDT and USDC on Solana in a Telegram bot

Your bot creates a payment via the API and sends the user a payment link. Once the funds arrive, your server receives a webhook and the bot delivers the product or access.

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.

Seconds to confirmation

Solana transfers confirm quickly, so the customer isn’t left waiting on the payment page.

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.

Solana users often hold USDC rather than USDT. Enable both coins and customers will pay with whatever is in their wallet, no swap needed.

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.

curl https://api.moonvex.org/v1/payments \

  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"orderId":"tg-52817734-vip","amount":"10","currency":"USDC","network":"SOLANA"}'
