Paying for a Subscription with Cryptocurrency

Learn how to avoid common issues when using crypto for your 3Commas subscription.

Updated this week

Before You Begin

  • Crypto payments can take up to an hour to process. If you're in a hurry, consider using PayPal or a card.

  • Not all countries support crypto payments. Users in the EEA, UK, USA, Canada, and UAE cannot pay with cryptocurrencies.

  • Make sure to send the exact amount (including fees) to avoid delays or payment failures.

1. Choose a Cryptocurrency for Payment

To get the wallet address and amount to pay, first select your preferred cryptocurrency from the available options:

Accepted Cryptos & Networks

  • USDT (TRC20)

  • USDT (ERC20)

  • USDC (ERC20)

  • BTC (BTC network)

  • ETH

  • BNB (BSC Chain)

  • SOL

  • TRX

  • LTC

Important

  • Only L1 mainnet coins are accepted (using the wrong network may result in permanent loss of funds).

  • If you accidentally send funds via the wrong network, contact CoinPayments.net support to see if a refund is possible:

    • You will need your Transaction ID (TX ID), wallet address, or CoinPayments reference number.

    • If you don’t have the reference number, contact 3Commas support for assistance.

Faster and Cheaper Transactions

  • For lower fees and quicker processing, use LTC or TRX instead of BTC or USDT (ERC20).

  • Example: LTC fees are 0.00100 LTC (~0.094 USDT), making it much cheaper than ERC20 transactions.

2. How Much to Send (Avoiding Payment Errors)

  • Include all fees in your transaction amount.

  • Send slightly more if needed, but never less than the required amount.

  • If you overpay, CoinPayments will email you with refund instructions.

  • Round up if your wallet doesn’t allow exact amounts.

Example: If the subscription costs 450.19 USDT, send 450.19 USDT + transaction fee (e.g., 1.2 USDT).

3. Sending Your Payment

a. Copy the wallet address or scan the QR code if using a mobile wallet.

b. Double-check the crypto type and network before sending.

c. Send your payment before the expiration time (usually 2 hours) to avoid cancellation.

If Your Payment "Times Out"

  • Some exchanges take too long to process withdrawals.

  • Check your email (including Junk/Spam) for a refund link from CoinPayments.

Tip:

To avoid delays, send payments from a personal wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet) rather than directly from an exchange.

4. Check Your Payment Status (If Needed)

  • After sending the payment, click "Check Transaction Status" to view the CoinPayments status page.

  • On the Subscription page, go to Subscription History and click the Check Status icon.

Once your payment is received, a confirmation pop-up will appear, and your subscription will be activated.
