Accept USDT TRC-20 payments without KYC
The stablecoin workhorse on TRON
USDT on TRON is the default settlement rail for digital services: near-zero volatility, single-digit-cent transfers and wallets every freelancer already has. If you run VPS, VPN or proxy sales, this is the asset your customers will reach for first.
ZeroKYC Pay turns on USDT TRC-20 in minutes: point the direct checkout at your payout address, or connect your own TRON address on the direct plan. Confirmations are detected by polling TronGrid with a fallback provider, and every confirmed payment fires an HMAC-signed webhook.

Addressing modes
Direct (non-custodial)
Payments go straight to your wallet: static address + unique amounts — you provide one TRON address; live invoices get amounts spaced by 2×tolerance + 1 unit so payments never collide. The address must be used only through ZeroKYC Pay.

USDT TRC-20 payment FAQ
How fast does a USDT TRC-20 payment confirm?
We mark a payment confirmed after 20 network confirmations, which on TRON takes about a minute in practice. The payment.detected event arrives earlier — as soon as the transfer is visible.
What are the fees for USDT TRC-20?
Direct checkout: 1% of volume + the network fee on the sweep payout (TRON sweeps are batched hourly or by a $50 threshold). Direct checkout: your $29/$79 subscription covers it — the money never leaves your wallet in the first place.
Can I pay out to an exchange deposit address?
Yes — buyers pay straight to any TRON address you connect, exchange deposits included. Funds move buyer → you, the platform never holds them.
USDT TRC-20 vs the other USDT networks?
TRC-20 has the deepest wallet support of all four rails. BEP-20 is equally cheap with a faster block, ERC-20 has the deepest exchange liquidity, TON confirms in seconds — see the USDT overview for the full comparison.
