Paying from an exchange is simple, but many people keep their crypto in a wallet app on their phone: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, TronLink, Exodus and the like. These self-custody wallets mean nobody can freeze your funds. They also mean you handle a detail an exchange normally hides from you: the network fee, often called gas.

The rule that catches everyone

On Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and TRON, the fee is paid in the network’s own coin, not in the token you’re sending:

You’re sendingOnFee paid in
ETHEthereumETH
USDT (ERC20)EthereumETH
BNBBNB Smart ChainBNB
USDT (BEP20)BNB Smart ChainBNB
USDT (TRC20)TRONTRX, or staked energy
BTCBitcoinBTC

So a wallet holding 100 USDT on BNB Smart Chain and no BNB can’t send any of it. You’ll see a message telling you the BNB balance is too low to cover the fee, and the send button stays disabled. Keep a little of the network coin next to your tokens.

Three checks before sending

  • Check you’re on the right network. In MetaMask, the network selector sits at the top of the screen, and BNB Smart Chain may need adding from its list of popular networks. In Trust Wallet, each token shows its network under its name.
  • Top up the fee coin if needed. A few dollars’ worth of BNB or TRX covers a payment comfortably; ETH can need more when Ethereum is busy.
  • Open your SSTV IPTV payment page on another screen, or keep it open in your phone’s browser.

Sending the payment

  1. In the wallet, choose the coin you selected at checkout, on the network shown on the payment page, and tap Send.
  2. Scan the QR code on the payment page if the wallet has a scanner. It fills in our address and, in many wallets, the amount. If you paste instead, check the first and last characters.
  3. Check the amount matches the payment page exactly, small digits included.
  4. Read the fee screen. MetaMask shows an estimated network fee and lets you choose a speed; Trust Wallet shows the network fee and a maximum total. The fee is added on top, so the requested amount still arrives in full.
  5. Confirm, then open the transaction in the wallet’s history, copy the transaction hash and paste it into the payment page.

Reading the fee screen

  • Ethereum gas varies with demand. If the estimate looks high, a quieter moment often brings it down, and your amount stays reserved for an hour (two for USDT).
  • BNB Smart Chain fees are typically a few cents.
  • TRON fees depend on energy. Without staked energy, TronLink and Trust Wallet burn TRX to cover it, and the confirmation screen shows how much.

Security habits worth keeping

  • Never share your recovery phrase. Nobody from SSTV IPTV will ever ask for it, nor for your private keys.
  • Watch out for clipboard swaps. Some malware replaces copied addresses with its own. After pasting, compare the beginning and end with the payment page.
  • Use the payment page, not old messages. Our address and your amount belong to your order’s page; don’t reuse an address from a previous order or a screenshot.

Questions

Can I pay from a hardware wallet?

Yes, through its companion app or a wallet such as MetaMask connected to it. The steps are the same.

The transaction shows as pending for a long time.

On Ethereum, the gas offered may be too low, and many wallets have a “speed up” option. On other networks, check which network was selected. If it stays stuck, contact us with the hash.

I sent USDT on the wrong network from my wallet.

Don’t send again. Give us the hash and the network you used in a ticket. Recovery is sometimes possible when both networks use the same address format, but it isn’t guaranteed.
