Do you check the coin or the network first when paying a host with crypto?

USDT and USDC run on several networks, and fees, confirmation time and wallet support can differ between them.

When you pay a hosting provider with crypto, what do you look at first: the coin, the network, or your wallet's support?
 
I’d look at wallet support first, then the network, and finally the coin. Confirm the hosting provider accepts the exact network you’re sending on (e.g., Ethereum, Bitcoin, TRON, etc.). Sending on the wrong network can result in lost funds.
 
Hello,

The best solution would be to integrate a payment gateway that supports various cryptocurrencies. This will enhance overall customer satisfaction.

Wallet support is a good first thing to check. Both sides supporting USDT isn't enough, since they also need to use the same network. Making that obvious at checkout would save a lot of payment mistakes.

More payment options are always nice for customers. What I'd really want is a checkout that shows the supported networks and fees clearly. A smooth payment matters more than a long list of coins.
