We have published a video on the Coincharge YouTube channel with the topic“USDT BTCPay – Accepting Tether with the BTCPay Server“
Install Tether USDT plugin
If you already operate your own BTCPay server, you must log in to your BTCPay server as an admin and go to “Manage Plugins”.
Select the “Tether USDT” plugin here and install it. Then activate it and restart the BTCPay server.
The USDT function is now available for every store on this BTCPay server.
Deposit USDT Wallet with BTCPAy
We need a USDT address for the credit. Specifically, we need a USDT address for the Tron network. This is because our BTCPay server only supports the acceptance of USDT payments via the Tron network.
You can obtain such a USDT address via the following USDT wallets.
To receive the USDT address from the USDT wallet, click on “Receive” in the wallet. This is a TRC20 address for the Tron network. An address beginning with “T” will be displayed there.
Copy this USDT address to store it directly in the USDT settings of the BTCPay server.
In the store settings, you will find the setting options for Bitcoin (Onchain), Lightning and USDT for each individual store. If you click on USDT here, you can enter the USDT address for the selected store.
Make a test payment now.
After you have initiated the payment, a QR code will be displayed. The “USDT” option is displayed in this QR window. Select USDT and make a test payment.
In the overview of transactions made, you will see whether it was a USDT payment.
You can also easily receive USDT payments with your BTCPay server.
