USDT is a dollar-linked coin that many people hold for payments, so it suits CatchOn TV well. It is sent on one of three networks, and the network you choose at checkout must match the one you send on. Sending on the wrong network can lose the funds.
Choosing the network
- TRC20 (TRON). Low fees and quick confirmation. Many people use it for USDT.
- BEP20 (BNB Smart Chain). Low fees and fast confirmation.
- ERC20 (Ethereum). Widely supported, but fees depend on how busy the network is.
Pick the network on the payment page, then send USDT on that same network from your wallet or exchange.
Sending the payment
Copy the address or scan the QR code from the payment page, then send the amount in USDT. Your wallet may show the network next to the address; make sure it matches the one you chose.
Confirmation times
On TRC20 and BEP20 a payment usually confirms within a minute or two. On ERC20 it can take a few minutes, longer when the network is busy.
Common mistakes
- Choosing one network on the page and sending on another.
- Sending USDT from an exchange that withdraws on a network you did not select.
- Forgetting the network fee, which is paid from the amount you hold.
If you have sent on the wrong network, do not send again. Contact support with the transaction ID straight away.
