Accept USDT by selecting the token’s supported network as carefully as its ticker. Coinvay has configured USDT routes on Ethereum, Tron and BNB Chain, but those routes use different contracts and payment evidence. A payment must match the route the customer selected.
Name the network beside the currency
USDT is commonly encountered across multiple blockchain environments. Ethereum ERC-20 and Tron TRC-20 instructions are different, and a BNB Chain representation has its own contract and issuer or bridge considerations. Never describe all USDT-labeled balances as one interchangeable transfer route.
For a wholesale order, a merchant could offer Ethereum and Tron USDT and let the customer choose the one their sending service supports. Once checkout issues a Tron quote, the payment must be made on Tron to the displayed address and in the exact token amount.
Explain fees before the customer sends
An Ethereum token transfer generally needs ETH for gas. A Tron token transfer uses the network’s resource model, with TRX potentially required to cover resource costs. BNB Chain transactions use BNB. The customer should review the wallet’s current fee estimate rather than a fixed fee copied from an article.
A withdrawal platform may deduct charges from the sent amount. That can cause an underpayment even when the customer originally entered the correct invoice number. Tell the customer to check the recipient amount, not just the gross amount removed from an exchange balance.
Verify the specific contract and receipt
The verifier must identify a successful transfer of the configured token contract, to the invoice recipient, for the quoted integer amount. Checking only a hash or a token symbol would permit incorrect evidence.
Holding USDT does not guarantee access to every redemption or banking service. Review issuer information and the exact representation you receive. Coinvay’s direct-wallet settlement does not bundle an automatic conversion or guarantee a dollar cash-out.
Practical checklist
- Show ERC-20, TRC-20 or BNB Chain in payment instructions.
- Check the token contract and native fee asset.
- Ask exchange users to preserve the exact recipient amount.
Common questions
Is USDT on BNB Chain identical to issuer-native USDT on Ethereum?+
Treat each contract as its own asset representation. The configured BNB Chain route must be evaluated for its actual issuer or pegging arrangement, rather than relying only on a USDT ticker.
Can USDT on TON pay a native TON invoice?+
No. A jetton and the native TON coin are different assets. Coinvay’s current TON flow supports the native coin, not every token deployed on TON.
