Why pay with Tether (ERC-20)
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is the original Tether deployment and remains the rail of choice for customers whose USDT lives on Ethereum mainnet — typically because their existing exchange withdrawals or DeFi positions denominate that way. It costs more to settle than USDT-TRC20 (Ethereum gas applies), but it inherits Ethereum's broader wallet ecosystem and integrates cleanly with hardware wallets, multisig setups, and DeFi-adjacent tooling.
We accept USDT-ERC20 through BTCPay's Ethereum integration alongside ETH. The user experience is identical to ETH payment with one extra step: select the ERC-20 token (not the native ETH option) at checkout. A typical ERC-20 USDT transfer costs $1–8 in gas during normal Ethereum conditions, with occasional spikes during high-activity periods. Confirmations and finality match ETH (12 confirmations for $500+, 2 for under).
For most customers the practical question is: do I already hold USDT on Ethereum, or do I need to bridge from Tron? If you hold ERC-20 USDT, paying that way avoids a bridge. If you're starting fresh, USDT-TRC20 is materially cheaper. Both rails settle the same USD-denominated invoice with no premium difference.

How to pay with USDT
- Step 1 / 5
Pick plan and location
Standard checkout flow. USDT-ERC20 invoices price in USD at par.
- Step 2 / 5
Select USDT (Ethereum / ERC-20)
Pick the ERC-20 USDT option at checkout — distinct from the TRC-20 option. Verify the network before sending; wrong-network sends are typically irrecoverable.
- Step 3 / 5
Pay from an Ethereum-compatible wallet
Send from MetaMask, Frame, Rabby, Ledger, Trezor, or any ERC-20 compatible wallet. ERC-20 sends require ETH for gas — make sure the sending wallet has a small ETH balance.
- Step 4 / 5
Wait for confirmations
Two confirmations for invoices under $500 (~30 seconds), 12 confirmations above (~3 minutes). Same thresholds as native ETH.
- Step 5 / 5
Server provisioned
KVM provisioning runs on confirmation. Credentials emailed within ~60 seconds.
