# Crypto invoice checks for African proxies > Crypto invoice checks for African proxies: match USDT networks and exact amounts, save the transaction reference and keep your account login secure. - URL: https://africaproxies.com/crypto-payments/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: AfricaProxies (https://africaproxies.com) A short checklist for the person sending your research budget. Match the invoice, wallet and account before approving the transfer. **Quick answer** Crypto invoice checks for African proxies start with the coin, network and exact amount shown in your AfricaProxies account. As of 15 October 2026, minimum funding is $25. Send that invoice’s exact amount, click “I’ve sent the payment” and await confirmed credit. Keep the invoice and transaction reference with your billing records. ## Check three things before you send 1. **Open the current invoice** — Start from your saved account login, not a pasted wallet address in a project chat. Check the selected coin, receiving address, amount and expiry. 2. **Match the wallet network** — Use the exact network on the invoice. A shared token symbol does not make two networks interchangeable. Review the sender’s fee as well as the amount delivered. 3. **Save the payment reference** — Click “I’ve sent the payment”. Retain the invoice reference and transaction ID while waiting for confirmed account credit. ## TRC-20 and ERC-20 describe different routes Tether lists USDT on several supported protocols. Its TRC-20 route uses Tron; ERC-20 uses Ethereum. If your invoice requests USDT TRC-20, select that network in the sending wallet. An Ethereum receiving option with the same token name is a different route. Read the actual invoice rather than relying on an earlier transfer. Compare the full receiving address in a private, trusted view. The [USDT TRC-20 walkthrough](/pay/usdt-trc20/) explains the service flow; [Tether’s supported-protocols list](https://tether.to/en/supported-protocols/) establishes the network distinction. Neither document sets your wallet’s withdrawal fee. ## Use the exact amount on the active invoice A payment is matched by its exact amount. Review what the receiving address will get after any fee your wallet or exchange deducts. The number entered in a withdrawal form and the number delivered can differ. Resolve that difference before you approve the transfer. An expired quote or an earlier order is not a current instruction. If the invoice has expired before you send, open the account payment screen and follow its current instructions. Do not reuse an old amount merely because the country or traffic pack is unchanged. There is no promised confirmation time: wait for confirmed credit in the client area. ## Reconcile a top-up separately from the traffic order The top-up funds your account. A plan purchase then uses that balance to buy traffic or port time. A 1 GB residential pack costs $1.23, below the $25 account funding minimum; the remaining balance stays in the account. Record these as separate events in the project ledger. For example, save the funding invoice reference beside the account-credit entry, and the traffic order reference beside the project allowance. This gives your finance colleague a clear explanation of the difference between money sent and traffic bought. The [pricing page](/pricing/) publishes the catalogue, while [refund conditions](/refunds/) distinguish eligible product credit from top-ups. ## Keep support evidence useful and private If a confirmed wallet transfer has not appeared as account credit, keep the invoice reference, transaction ID, coin, network, exact amount and approximate sending time. Share a bounded description with support through the [contact page](/contact/). A screenshot should exclude unrelated account balances and private credentials. A public transaction ID helps locate a transfer; it is not an account login. Your saved account number remains the login, and an optional recovery email serves a different purpose. Never place wallet recovery words or signing secrets in a support request. Keep shared research credentials separate from the principal account number. ## Invoice questions ### Does clicking the payment button complete the credit? Click “I’ve sent the payment” after sending the exact invoice amount, then wait for confirmed credit in the client area. A wallet receipt and account credit are separate records. Keep the invoice and transaction references together so support can investigate a payment enquiry without relying on a screenshot alone. ### Does my exit country decide whether I may pay? Payment rules apply to the buyer’s jurisdiction and transaction; an African exit IP does not grant permission to use crypto. The [country rules report](/data/crypto-and-proxy-legality-africa/) links local sources. The [purchase guide](/pay-with-crypto/) explains funding choices, while your own legal and accounting review determines the rules for your organisation. ### Can a transaction reference recover a lost account? A transaction reference identifies a payment record, not the person entitled to an account. Save the account number securely and add an optional recovery email if needed. The [account guide](/no-kyc/) explains recovery. Keep the principal login out of shared research logs and give each project its own credentials. ### What if my wallet offers several USDT networks? Select only the route requested by the active invoice. Tether’s token name appears on several protocols, and a wallet can offer several withdrawal choices. Compare the network, address, recipient amount and fee before sending. For this site’s Tron flow, the [TRC-20 guide](/pay/usdt-trc20/) provides the corresponding account steps. ## Network reference 1.
