Lightning vs on-chain vs stablecoins, honestly
For a purchase this size, Lightning wins on every axis that matters: settlement in seconds, negligible fees, minimal metadata. Stablecoins win when you care that the dollar amount you accepted is exactly what leaves your wallet — no exchange-rate movement while the transaction confirms. On-chain BTC works everywhere and needs no channel or setup, just expect miner fees and a few minutes' wait. And Litecoin is the quiet sweet spot if you want on-chain simplicity with fees in cents. There's no wrong answer — the QR arrives the same way regardless.
Crypto payment FAQ
Which cryptocurrencies are accepted for an eSIM?
Bitcoin (on-chain and Lightning), Ethereum, USDT, USDC and Litecoin are the headline assets, and the crypto checkout lists dozens more coins and networks at payment time. Pick a plan, choose Crypto, and the payment page shows exactly what's available for your order at that moment.
What's the best crypto to pay for an eSIM with?
For speed and fees on a small purchase: Lightning. For a locked-in dollar price: USDT or USDC (TRC-20 is usually the cheapest network). For the lowest-fee on-chain payment: Litecoin. All of them deliver the same way — QR issued automatically on confirmation.
How long does a crypto eSIM payment take?
Lightning settles in seconds. Stablecoins and Litecoin typically confirm within a few minutes; on-chain Bitcoin depends on network congestion and the fee your wallet chose. Delivery is automatic the moment the processor marks the payment confirmed.
How many confirmations does the payment need?
That's set by the payment processor per coin and shown on the payment page. Small purchases like an eSIM generally clear on the first confirmation or two — you don't need to do anything except send the exact amount shown.
What if I send on the wrong network?
Always match the network your wallet sends on to the one selected on the payment page — that's the single most common stablecoin mistake. If something goes wrong, contact support with your order number and transaction ID and we'll work it out with the processor.
Can I pay from an exchange account?
Yes — withdrawals from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and others work fine. Choose the matching network at withdrawal, and allow a little extra time: exchanges batch withdrawals, so they can be slower than a self-custody wallet.
Crypto payment is confirmed but I don't see my eSIM?
If you paid with an email, check spam first — delivery is automatic on confirmation. With a tracking code, your QR is on the confirmation page and retrievable any time at My eSIM. Still stuck? Support can locate the order from your order number or transaction ID.
Can a crypto eSIM payment be refunded?
If the eSIM hasn't been installed or activated, contact support and we'll help; refunds for crypto payments are returned in coordination with the payment processor. See the refund policy for the exact terms — they're the same as for card payments.
Do you custody funds or hold a balance?
No. There's no wallet, no stored balance and no top-ups — you pay once for the plan you picked and the processor settles it. Nothing auto-renews.
Is paying with crypto anonymous?
It's pseudonymous by default — no name, no card. Pair it with the tracking-code checkout (no email) and the order carries nothing that identifies you. See the anonymous eSIM guide for the honest full picture.
