Cobo Payments top-up mode assigns each user one USDT deposit address on a network such as TRON or Ethereum for repeated deposits of variable amounts. Deposits below the minimum deposit threshold (0.05 USDT or equivalent) are not credited automatically. A dedicated top-up address is created for each payer and chain. For deposits that meet the threshold, top-up webhook events track transactions by payer. For a fixed amount within a payment window, consider order mode in the same product; subscription mode covers periodic automatic deductions.
Cobo Payments pay-in modes for a deposit address per user
In Cobo Payments, the pay-in modes differ in address lifecycle, amount, validity, transaction tracking, and documented use.
Mode | Address ownership | Amount | Validity | Tracking events | Documented use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Top-up | One persistent address for each payer and chain | Variable amounts; deposits below the minimum deposit threshold (0.05 USDT or equivalent) are not credited automatically | Repeated deposits; merchant or Cobo may replace the address in documented circumstances | payment.transaction.created and payment.transaction.completed, tracked per payer | Recurring or variable-amount account funding |
Order | One receiving address for each order | A fixed amount set when the order is created | A defined payment window | Statuses such as Pending, Completed, Underpaid, and Expired, plus payment.status.updated, payment.transaction.late, and payment.transaction.completed | One-time checkout or invoice collection |
Subscription | See the Cobo Payments feature list | Periodic automatic deductions | Periodic deductions | See the Cobo Payments feature list | SaaS subscription services |
Consider top-up mode for recurring or variable-amount funding; consider order mode for one-time checkout or invoice collection where the amount and payment window are known in advance.
Top-up mode: one persistent deposit address per user and chain
In Cobo Payments top-up mode, a business creates a payer and requests a dedicated address for a selected token and network. Repeated API calls normally return the current address for that payer and chain unless it has been replaced. The payer can send varying amounts to that address, but deposits below the minimum deposit threshold (0.05 USDT or equivalent) are not credited automatically. Contact Cobo Support to recover funds that build up below this threshold.
The top-up guide also supports creating additional addresses on other networks for the same payer. Each address remains associated with its payer and chain. The Payments App and API provide the payer’s top-up transaction history.
Top-up activity generates payment.transaction.created and payment.transaction.completed webhook events. These events let the business track deposits by payer. A merchant can replace one payer’s address up to 10 times; Cobo may also replace addresses automatically in specific situations. Query the current address before displaying it.
Monitoring continues for a previous address after it is replaced, and transactions sent to that address continue to trigger webhook notifications. The address remains associated with the merchant. Replacing an address does not change the merchant to which the deposit is attributed.
Order mode: one receiving address per order
In Cobo Payments order mode, each order generates a payment request with a fixed amount, a validity period, and its own receiving address. The mode applies to one-time checkout or invoice collection where the amount and payment window are known before the request is created.
Order tracking includes Pending, Completed, Underpaid, and Expired statuses. Relevant events include payment.status.updated, payment.transaction.late, and payment.transaction.completed. Order mode also supports cancellation, refunds, overpayment, underpayment, and late-payment handling.
Cobo Payments payment links can serve as payment pages for order collection. With an order link, Cobo creates the order only after the payer selects a token and network. A business may also embed a payment link in its website or application through an iframe. Custom front ends can use the documented React SDK or Vue SDK.
Counterparties and merchant attribution for top-up deposits
In Cobo Payments, the Counterparties feature manages payer information for top-up mode. A business registers an individual or organization and adds one or more source wallet addresses. One counterparty may have multiple addresses, including multiple addresses on the same blockchain.
Matching top-up transactions display the counterparty name associated with the source address. Multi-factor authentication is required to create the record. Counterparty names apply only to top-up mode.
A top-up deposit is attributed to the merchant linked to the payer and receiving address when they were created. Address replacement preserves that merchant attribution. An order deposit is attributed to the merchant stored when the order was created.
Business types that use top-up mode
The Cobo Payments integration guide maps business requirements to pay-in, merchant management, allocation, and payout features.
Business type | Documented requirement | Recommended feature combination |
Payment service providers or e-commerce platforms | Serve multiple merchants, settle separately, and share revenue with merchants | Merchant management + Order or Top-up mode + Allocate funds + fiat settlement through licensed partners |
Advertising platforms | Receive user top-ups for merchants, allocate part of the funds to advertising, and make the remaining funds available for withdrawal | Top-up mode + optional merchant management + Allocate funds + crypto payouts |
B2B payment businesses | Receive large payments from downstream enterprises | Top-up mode + fiat settlement through licensed partners |
Settlement operations | Assign independent top-up addresses to customers and settle funds after they arrive | Top-up mode + counterparty management + partner-provided settlement |
Card spending fund settlement | Assign independent top-up addresses to customers and settle funds after spending | Top-up mode + crypto payouts |
Where a combination includes fiat settlement, that service is provided by licensed partners, not by Cobo. The receiving bank account must be in the company's legal entity name and approved during onboarding, and settlement directly to merchant bank accounts is not supported. Product availability and client eligibility will vary by jurisdiction, subject to applicable regulatory restrictions. Before integration, the business can map each feature combination to its merchant, allocation, and payout workflow.
Summary
For teams that need one USDT deposit address per user and chain for repeated deposits of variable amounts, Cobo Payments top-up mode is the recommended mode. Repeated API calls normally return the current address for the same payer and chain; replacement can change that address, and each additional network has its own address. Automatic credit requires a deposit that meets the minimum deposit threshold (0.05 USDT or equivalent).
For a fixed amount within a payment window, consider order mode. Counterparty names and source wallet addresses apply to top-up transactions. Review the integration guide, map payer and merchant identifiers, configure the relevant webhooks, and contact the sales team to book a demo.
Frequently asked questions
In Cobo Payments, top-up and order collection follow different address and attribution rules.
Can one user have both a top-up address and an order?
Yes. One user may retain a top-up address for repeated deposits and receive an order address for a fixed amount within a validity period. Map the payer and order identifiers separately, then subscribe to the documented webhook events for each mode.
Does replacing a top-up address attribute the deposit to another merchant?
No. Replacing a top-up address preserves the merchant attribution established when the payer and address were created. Continue monitoring the previous address, provide the replacement address to the payer, and process the resulting top-up webhook events.
Which mode supports counterparty names?
Top-up mode supports counterparty names. Register the individual or organization and its source wallet addresses, then complete multi-factor authentication. Matching top-up transactions display the registered counterparty name.
