Getting started
Choose Crypto as your payment method at checkout, either when you first subscribe or when you upgrade from the dashboard. You will be taken to a CoinGate payment page where you pick your coin and network, send the payment, and get redirected back to us. Your API key is issued as soon as the payment confirms on chain. That usually takes a few minutes, though it depends on the coin and network you choose.Supported coins
BTC, ETH, USDC, TRX, SOL, LTC and more (10+ cryptocurrencies), across the networks CoinGate supports for each coin. The full list is shown on the payment page. Prices are always quoted in your local fiat currency. CoinGate converts at the rate shown when you open the payment page.VAT
When you choose crypto we ask for your country, preselected from your location. If we are registered to collect VAT in that country, it is added to the amount and shown in the order summary before you go to the payment page. Renewal invoices carry the same VAT. Existing subscribers in the UK, the EU or Norway are asked to confirm their country once, the first time they open a payment link.VAT numbers are not supported on crypto payments. If your business is VAT registered and you want the reverse charge applied, pay by card and enter your VAT number at checkout, or contact support and we will move your subscription to card billing.
How renewals work
This is the one real difference from paying by card. Crypto payments cannot be charged automatically, because nobody can pull funds from your wallet. So instead of a silent monthly charge, you get an invoice each cycle:- On your renewal date we email you a payment link
- Your API access continues as normal while the invoice is open
- You pay the link with crypto, and the next month starts
If a payment link expires before you use it, open Dashboard → Billing and select Get a new payment link. Nothing is lost, the invoice stays open.
Upgrades and add-ons
Plan changes, extra requests and the WebSocket add-on all work on crypto. When you make a change mid-cycle, we show you the prorated amount due today before you confirm, then hand you a payment link for that amount. The change activates once the payment confirms.Switching between crypto and card
Want to move to card billing? Contact support and we will switch your subscription over. Your plan, API key and settings stay exactly as they are.Things worth knowing
- Send the exact amount. If your wallet deducts its network fee from the amount you send, the payment arrives short and is flagged as underpaid. We will spot it and get in touch, but sending the exact quoted amount avoids the delay.
- Refunds are handled manually. If you need a refund on a crypto payment, email hello@odds-api.io and we will arrange it directly.
- Invoices work as normal. Every crypto payment produces a proper invoice in your dashboard, the same as a card payment.
