Choosing tools honestly
How to Pay with Crypto: A 2-Minute Guide
Reviewed September 2026
Neon is paid for in crypto. If you have never done it, exactly four things decide whether a payment lands: the wallet, the coin, the network and the exact amount. Everything else you can safely ignore.
The short version
Get the coin into a wallet, choose it in the checkout, send the exact amount to the address shown on the network named, and wait for the network to confirm. The key is minted on its own.
The steps
01 Get a wallet
A wallet is just an app that holds the coin and can send it. If you already use an exchange (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase), that account is a wallet and it is enough. If you would rather hold your own, Trust Wallet and Exodus are well-known options. You do not need to understand private keys to pay — only to be able to send.
02 Buy the coin with a card if you do not have any
The exchanges above sell crypto with a card and leave the balance in the same account you then send from. These are third-party services, off this site: we are not affiliated with them, we receive nothing if you use them, and their fees and identity checks are their own. Buying usually takes a few minutes; first-time identity verification can take longer.
03 Pick the coin in the Neon checkout
When you buy a license we show a list of coins with each network's block time and a relative fee band. The ones at the top are the cheapest and quickest to confirm. If you are unsure, USDT on TRON (TRC-20) is the simplest choice for a first payment.
04 Copy the address, then check the network twice
The payment page shows the address, the network and the exact amount. Copy the address with the button (never retype it by hand) or scan the QR code. Before you confirm the send, check that the network your wallet picked is exactly the one the invoice names. Funds sent on a different network cannot be recovered.
05 Send the exact amount, never less
The payment provider is watching that address for one specific amount. The most common cause of a short payment is an exchange taking its withdrawal fee out of the amount you typed. Read the confirmation screen to see what will actually arrive and raise the amount if needed so the arriving figure matches the invoice.
06 Wait for the confirmation
Once the network confirms, the provider tells us and your key is minted on its own: it appears on the payment page, on /success and in your dashboard. You do not need to keep the page open. If more than twenty minutes pass, that same page offers support and Discord — waiting never loses the payment.
Buying crypto with a card
These are outside sites, not ours. We are not affiliated with them, we earn nothing if you use them, and each has its own fees, limits and identity checks. They open in a new tab.
Common questions
- Do I need to understand crypto to buy Neon?
- No. You need three things: an app that holds the coin, the address we show you, and the exact amount we show you. Everything else — blocks, confirmations, hashes — happens without you. Most people are done in a couple of minutes once the coin is in a wallet.
- What is a network, and why does it matter so much?
- The same coin can live on several separate networks. USDT exists on TRON, on Ethereum and on others, and those networks cannot see each other. If the invoice says TRON (TRC-20) and you send on Ethereum (ERC-20), the funds land somewhere neither we nor the payment provider can reach, and they cannot be returned. Always match the network label on the invoice to the network your wallet is sending on.
- Why does the amount have to be exact?
- The payment provider watches one address for one specific amount. If less arrives, the invoice is marked partially paid and no key is issued until the difference is topped up. The usual cause is an exchange that takes its withdrawal fee out of the amount you typed. Check the confirmation screen: the number that matters is what ARRIVES, not what you typed.
- How long does confirmation take?
- It depends on the network you chose. TRON and Solana produce a new block every few seconds; Bitcoin targets one about every ten minutes. The checkout page shows the block time for each coin before you pick it, which is why the fast, low-fee networks are listed first.
- What if I send the wrong amount, or the address expires?
- Nothing is lost and nothing needs to be re-bought. An underpaid invoice keeps the same address — send the difference there. An expired address just means the timer ran out: choose a coin again on the same order and a fresh address is issued. Your order still produces exactly one key. If you are stuck, contact support with your order id.
