eSIM Crypto Payment
A walkthrough of exactly what happens between clicking pay and having a working data profile — including the failure cases most providers don't document.
Crypto payment questions
How many confirmations do you require?+
One for most chains, and Lightning is treated as final on settlement. The exact requirement per asset is shown on the invoice page.
What if the invoice expires while I'm paying?+
Funds that arrive after expiry are still credited — the order is held for manual reconciliation and we email you at the address on the order.
Do you email a receipt?+
Yes. The delivery email includes the plan, the amount paid, the order reference and your tracking code.
Can I pay part in crypto and part by card?+
No. Each order settles on one rail. Split an order across two purchases if you need to mix.
Who can help with a payment discrepancy?+
Contact support@cryptoesim.io with your order reference, transaction hash, amount, currency and network. A person can investigate the payment and help with next steps.
The payment lifecycle
Checkout creates an invoice with an amount in your chosen asset, a destination address, and an expiry. Your wallet broadcasts; the processor watches for the required confirmations and webhooks us the result.
We re-derive the correct USD price server-side from the package record before provisioning, so a tampered client can't buy a $60 plan for $6. Only after that check passes does the carrier API get called.
When payments go wrong
Late or short payment: check the current payment status and contact support@cryptoesim.io with your order reference and transaction hash. A person can review the payment before you send anything further.
Overpayment or wrong network: contact support@cryptoesim.io with your order reference, transaction hash, currency and network. The team can investigate the discrepancy and explain the next steps.
Supported coins, networks and confirmation times
Bitcoin pays on-chain (one confirmation, roughly 10–30 minutes) or over Lightning (seconds). USDT and USDC settle on Tron, Solana, Polygon, BNB Chain or Ethereum — Tron and Solana usually confirm in under a minute for a few cents. ETH, LTC, XMR, SOL, TON, DOGE and roughly 290 other assets are quoted live on the invoice.
Check the amount due on the invoice, including any fee your wallet deducts from the transfer. If the payment appears short, check its status and contact support@cryptoesim.io for human review before sending more.
