Frequently asked questions
Can't pay on OpenRouter directly? Compare the two ways
| Where your coins are | OpenRouter's Coinbase checkout (Use crypto) | ROZO Checkout |
|---|---|---|
| USDC or USDT on Solana | No, it takes USDC on Base only | Yes |
| USDT or USDC on BNB Chain | No | Yes |
| USDC or USDT on Ethereum or Polygon | No | Yes |
| Bitcoin over Lightning | No | Yes |
| ETH, BNB or SOL (native coins) | No | Yes, converted to USDC for you |
| On an exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit) | USDC on Base only | Yes, withdraw to the one-time address we show |
| Paid wrong: wrong chain, wrong coin, or short (often from an exchange) | Support ticket, Discord or email, often about a week | Send only the exact coin, network and amount on your current payment page. Funds sent to an address that is not ours cannot be recovered by ROZO. Contact support with the transaction hash. We reply within one business day and review recovery case by case. Recovery is not guaranteed; completion time depends on the case. Do not pay again while we investigate. |
| Coinbase says checkout is unavailable (or 403) for your account | Blocked | Yes, if OpenRouter still gives you a payment link |
| An AI agent paying from a script | No crypto top-up API | Yes, one command pays the link |
Same on both paths: OpenRouter does not refund crypto top-ups, and coins sent to an address that is not ours cannot be recovered. Send exactly the amount and network the payment page shows. ROZO adds a 1% fee, shown before you pay.
What is ROZO Checkout?
ROZO Checkout pays a merchant's crypto payment link, such as an OpenRouter top-up, with the coin you already hold. You paste the link, send your coin, and ROZO pays the merchant on the exact chain, token and amount it expects. ROZO is independent and not affiliated with OpenRouter or Coinbase.
Read the guide →How much does it cost?
Standard crypto Checkout adds 1% to the merchant invoice. Network fees and conversion spreads are additional. TRON Alpha charges 1% with a $0.50 minimum; TON Alpha charges 1% only. UPI has separate pricing. Review the final quote before paying. Any merchant fee already included in the payment link remains part of the invoice.
Read the guide →How long until my credits arrive?
Usually about 2 minutes after your payment confirms on-chain. Stellar and Solana are typically faster, while Ethereum and BNB Chain depend on network conditions. An exchange withdrawal can add the exchange's own processing time.
Read the guide →Which coins and chains can I pay with?
Bitcoin over Lightning (incl. Cashu wallets); USDC or USDT on Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon or Arbitrum; and USDC on Base or Stellar. Native coins work too: ETH on Ethereum, Base or Arbitrum, BNB on BNB Chain, SOL on Solana and POL on Polygon. Choose a coin and chain offered by your quote. TRON Alpha (USDT, TRX) uses /tron; TON Alpha (USDT) uses /ton. These dedicated web routes have separate limits and are not part of the standard CLI/MCP flow. Bitcoin uses Lightning, not on-chain BTC.
Read the guide →What if I send the wrong token, chain or amount?
Send only the exact coin, network and amount on your current payment page. Funds sent to an address that is not ours cannot be recovered by ROZO. Contact support with the transaction hash. We reply within one business day and review recovery case by case. Recovery is not guaranteed; completion time depends on the case. Do not pay again while we investigate.
Read the guide →Is it safe? Does ROZO hold my funds?
ROZO Checkout keeps no balance for you and never asks for your private keys, OpenRouter login or exchange password. The exact amount is shown before anything moves, and on wallet-connect routes you approve the transfer inside your own wallet. Crypto payments are final, so check the amount and network before you confirm.
Read the guide →Do I need an account or KYC?
No. There is no ROZO account, no email to verify and no KYC form: paste the payment link and pay from your own wallet or exchange. Any checks your exchange applies to withdrawals still apply.
Read the guide →Why is the card total higher than the crypto total?
OpenRouter's card checkout runs on Stripe, which adds VAT or GST at your country's rate on top of its card fee. Its crypto payment links did not include a tax line as of October 2026; that is OpenRouter's practice, it can change, and it does not change what you owe your own tax authority. Compare the totals for the same credit amount before you choose.
Read the guide →Payment minimum
The minimum depends on the merchant and the payment option used to create your link. Check the accepted credit amount at the merchant checkout and the final ROZO quote before paying. Credits and the total paid may differ because of fees.
Read the guide →I paid but the credits have not arrived. What now?
Do not pay again; a second payment does not repair the first. Most payments credit within minutes of confirming on-chain, so check that your transaction confirmed and reopen the payment page to see its state. If it still shows nothing after 30 minutes, contact OpenRouter support with the chain, amount, time and transaction hash.
Read the guide →OpenRouter's crypto checkout shows 403 or my wallet will not connect. Can I still pay?
Yes. The 403 is an account-level block on OpenRouter's Coinbase page, and wallet-connector errors are separate and often temporary, but the payment link OpenRouter generated is still valid. Paste that link here and pay it with the coin you hold.
Read the guide →Which merchants does it work with?
OpenRouter, plus other services whose checkout gives you a crypto payment link, including Venice AI, QuickNode, Porkbun, Koinly, Compass Mining and AskSurf. The services page lists every supported merchant. Listing a service does not imply a partnership or endorsement.
