Paying with USDT for the first time

Short answer

Three steps: buy USDT on an exchange, pick the TRC20 network when you withdraw, and send the exact amount shown to the address shown. The one that catches people is the withdrawal fee, which comes out of what you send, so we receive less than the amount we were matching against.

This site takes USDT. If you have never touched crypto, here is the whole path — where to buy it, which chain to pick, and why those last four decimals are not optional.

This site takes USDT. Not to be fashionable — what we sell is hard to put through the Taiwanese payment system, and customers are spread across several countries. Card payment in TWD is under review with a provider; once it is live, the pricing page will show that option on its own.

Until then, if you have never touched crypto, here is the whole path. About 20 minutes, and 15 of those are the exchange's identity check.

1. What USDT actually is

USDT is a cryptocurrency pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. One USDT is about one dollar, and the price barely moves.

That matters because it tells you how to think about it: USDT is a unit of payment, not an investment. You do not need a view on whether it will go up, and you do not need to hold it. Buy some, send it, spend it, done.

2. Where to buy it

Any exchange that takes your local currency will do. We deliberately do not recommend a particular exchange and there are no referral links here — that would turn this page into an advert, and what you need is the criteria, not my preference.

Look at three things:

  1. Does it take your local currency? If not, you have to convert first, which is another layer of hassle.
  2. Does it support TRC20 withdrawals? This is a hard requirement — see the next section.
  3. How long does verification take? Some clear the same day, some take one to three days. If you are in a hurry to run ads, this is the real bottleneck.

Identity verification is the exchange's rule, not ours — we do not need any documents from you (see the privacy policy; we store only your Telegram or LINE id).

3. 🔴 Pick TRC20, not anything else

This is the most important section on the page.

The same USDT exists on several blockchains, and they are different things. USDT lives on TRON (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), BSC (BEP20) and others. Same name, same value, but they do not connect to each other.

Our receiving address is a TRC20 address. Send from ERC20 and the money will not appear at our address, and it cannot be recovered.

The withdrawal screen has a Network, Chain or similar dropdown. Choose TRC20 — some exchanges write it as TRON or Tron (TRC20).

Incidentally TRC20 is also the cheapest of these chains, usually about 1 USDT to send. ERC20 can cost over ten dollars when the network is busy. So this is not purely for our convenience.

How to check you picked right: a TRC20 address always starts with a capital T and is 34 characters long. If the address on the deposit page does not look like that, stop and contact support.

4. Those four decimals are not optional

The deposit page gives you a figure like this:

Amount due   20.0033 USDT

That .0033 is not a rounding artefact — it is your identifier.

The reason is practical: we have one receiving address, and several people may be sending at the same moment. The chain only shows that some address sent some amount. The trailing digits are the only way to tell which transfer is yours.

So:

  • Send 20.0033: matched automatically within 90 seconds and credited.
  • Send 20: no match. The money is at our address, but the system does not know whose it is, and it has to be handled by hand.

5. 🔴 The fee comes out of what you send

This is the one people hit the first time they use an exchange, and when it happens it looks like the money vanished.

An exchange withdrawal works like this: you enter 20.0033, it deducts 20.0033 from your balance, then takes its fee out of that before sending. About 19.0033 arrives at our address.

The trailing digits are right, but the whole number is not, so it still does not match.

The fix: add the fee on top.

Exchange withdrawal fee Enter this We receive
1 USDT 21.0033 20.0033 ✅
1.5 USDT 21.5033 20.0033 ✅

Withdrawal screens usually show both a fee and an amount that will arrive. Look at the amount that will arrive and make that equal the figure we asked for.

Some exchanges let you enter the received amount directly and add the fee themselves, which is easier — but not all of them do.

6. Do not send straight from an exchange

Technically it works and we will receive it. But there is a consequence worth knowing in advance.

If you later want unspent balance refunded, we can only send it back to the original sending address. That rule is not bureaucracy; it is whether this business can exist. A wallet that takes USDT in and sends it wherever you name is, functionally, a mixing service.

An exchange withdrawal address is a shared hot wallet used by thousands of people. A refund sent there does not reach your account — it simply disappears.

Better path: exchange → your own wallet (TronLink, imToken, OKX Wallet or similar) → our address.

One more step, and that step decides whether your money can come back.

7. After you send

The deposit screen sits on a waiting state and turns into a confirmation by itself — no need to refresh. On-chain confirmation usually takes a minute or two.

If nothing changes after five minutes:

  1. Check in your wallet or exchange that the transaction is complete.
  2. Check the chain was TRC20.
  3. Check the arriving amount matches the figure on screen.
  4. If all three are right and it still has not credited, open a ticket with the on-chain transaction id.

The window to pay is 2 hours, but we keep matching for 24. If the window expires, do not create a new request — anything arriving inside 24 hours is still credited. That buffer is deliberate.

8. How much to deposit

There is no minimum deposit. But two numbers should shape your decision:

  • Withdrawals have a 20 USDT minimum and a 5 USDT fee each.
  • Store credit, which comes from service remedies, can never be withdrawn.

So do not deposit far more than you plan to spend. Deposit 100 and spend 30, and getting the remaining 70 back costs a 5 USDT fee, takes 7 business days, and can only go to the original sending address.

Depositing roughly what this purchase needs is the least work.

9. The whole path as a checklist

  • Exchange identity verification complete
  • USDT bought (no need to time it; it does not move)
  • Network set to TRC20 on the withdrawal screen
  • Receiving address starts with T, 34 characters
  • Fee added on top so the arriving amount equals the figure on screen
  • Trailing four decimals exactly as shown
  • Sending from your own wallet, not straight from an exchange
  • Left on the deposit page to update itself

The first three times feel fiddly. After that it is a three-minute job.

FAQ

Why can I not pay by card?

Card payments in TWD are still under review with the payment provider. Once they are live, the pricing page shows the card option by itself — you will not need to ask support.

What is USDT?

A cryptocurrency pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. One USDT is about one dollar and the price barely moves, so it works as a unit of payment rather than something you invest in.

Do I have to use TRC20?

Yes. The same USDT exists on several separate blockchains and they do not talk to each other. Send on the wrong one and the money does not arrive and cannot be recovered. On the withdrawal screen, the Network or Chain option must say TRC20 (some exchanges label it TRON).

Why does the amount have odd decimals?

That is your identifier. We have one receiving address and several people may be sending at once. The only way to tell which transfer is yours is the trailing digits. A round number cannot be matched.

Does the fee change the amount?

Yes, and this is the most common mistake. An exchange takes its withdrawal fee out of the amount you send, so typing 20.0033 means we receive about 19. Add the fee on top.

Can I send straight from an exchange?

You can, but it is a bad idea. If you later want unspent balance refunded, we can only send it to the original sending address, and an exchange withdrawal address is a shared hot wallet — the refund will not reach your account. Move it to your own wallet first.

How long until it credits?

On-chain confirmation usually takes a minute or two. The deposit screen turns into a confirmation by itself; you do not need to refresh.

What if the payment window expires?

The window to pay is 2 hours but we keep matching for 24. Anything that arrives inside 24 hours is still credited, so there is no need to create a new request.

What if I send the wrong amount?

Open a ticket with the on-chain transaction id. We can match it by hand and credit it, but it takes time — sending the exact figure is much less work for you.

Is there a minimum?

There is no minimum deposit, but withdrawals have a 20 USDT minimum and a 5 USDT fee each. So do not deposit far more than you intend to spend.

Do you need my ID?

Not here. The exchange itself usually requires identity verification before it will let you withdraw, but that is their rule and has nothing to do with us.

What does buying USDT cost?

It depends on the exchange and payment method, usually 0.1% to 1.5%, plus about 1 USDT to withdraw. On small amounts the fees are a noticeable share.
