Paying with cryptocurrency
Last updated: 31 July 2026
Claude Store accepts seven direct methods: USDT on TRON or BNB Smart Chain, Bitcoin, Litecoin, native Ethereum, native Solana, and USDC on BNB Smart Chain. Checkout creates a private page with the exact amount, required network, recipient address and QR code. Always match all four details before sending.
| Coin and network | Typical fee | Confirmation | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDT (TRC20) | Varies by sender | Usually minutes | USDT-TRC20 |
| USDT (BEP20) | Varies by sender | Usually minutes | USDT-BEP20 |
| Bitcoin | Varies by sender | Depends on confirmations | BTC |
| Litecoin | Varies by sender | Depends on confirmations | LTC |
| Ethereum | Varies with gas | Usually minutes | ETH |
| Solana | Varies by sender | Usually under a minute | SOL |
| USDC (BEP20) | Varies by sender | Usually minutes | USDC-BEP20 |
How the payment step works
- You choose the asset and network on the checkout form.
- We create a private page with a 20-minute quote, exact amount, recipient and QR code.
- You send the exact amount from your wallet or exchange, paying the network fee yourself.
- You paste the public on-chain transaction ID; an operator verifies it before the order is marked paid.
- We prepare and email the code, then your order page shows it too.
We never ask for a seed phrase, private key, wallet password or remote-access code.
Questions about paying
Which crypto has the lowest fees for a small payment?
Fees depend on the sending wallet or exchange. Litecoin, Solana and BEP20 transfers are often inexpensive, while Ethereum and Bitcoin fees vary with demand. Check the withdrawal fee before confirming.
What happens if I send on the wrong network?
Funds sent on a network the address does not support are usually unrecoverable. Copy the network name from the payment page every time rather than relying on memory, and send a small test amount first if the sum matters to you.
Does the price change while I am paying?
The private payment page locks an exact crypto amount for 20 minutes. Do not send after the timer expires; create a fresh order for a current quote instead.
Where can I buy USDT without an international card?
Peer-to-peer marketplaces on the major exchanges let you pay in local currency by bank transfer or cash, and local exchangers operate in most of our markets. Expect a spread of one to three percent over the reference rate.
