How to Top Up fal.ai Credits with USDT, USDC or BTC via ROZO

Shawn Muggle

fal.ai is a platform for generative media APIs: image, video, audio and 3D models that you call from your own code. Usage is paid from prepaid credits in US dollars, which you buy in advance from the fal.ai dashboard.

When you buy credits, fal.ai's checkout offers crypto as a payment option, and choosing it opens a Stripe crypto payment page. Stripe's crypto page accepts stablecoins such as USDC, on a short list of networks. If your funds sit somewhere else, for example USDT on BNB Chain or Bitcoin in a Lightning wallet, ROZO Checkout can pay that same Stripe page for you. ROZO charges a 1% service fee, shown before you pay.

This guide covers where the crypto option lives in fal.ai, which link to copy, and which link formats ROZO can and cannot pay. ROZO is independent and is not affiliated with fal.ai or Stripe.

What fal.ai credits are

fal.ai sells prepaid credits. Its terms of service say you buy credits in advance in US dollars, and the credits are used up as you call fal.ai's model APIs. You add more from Billing in the fal.ai dashboard.

fal.ai's public terms and docs, checked on 22 October 2026, mention payment by card or ACH and do not describe a crypto option. ROZO has seen the crypto option on fal.ai's credits checkout, and it opens a Stripe crypto payment page. If your account does not show it, ROZO cannot create one for you. Ask fal.ai support about payment options for your account.

Stripe's documentation says that when a customer picks the crypto payment method, Stripe redirects them to crypto.stripe.com to connect a wallet and complete the payment. For a one time payment that page address starts with crypto.stripe.com/pay/. That is the link ROZO Checkout can pay.

If the address instead starts with crypto.stripe.com/setup/, it is a wallet authorization for future charges with no fixed amount, and ROZO cannot pay it. Close it and start a new one time credit purchase instead.

ROZO has not published a walkthrough of a fal.ai payment yet, so check the address of the page you are on before you paste it.

Top up fal.ai with crypto, step by step

  1. Sign in to fal.ai and open Billing in the dashboard.
  2. Choose to buy credits and enter the amount.
  3. Select crypto as the payment method.
  4. When the Stripe crypto page opens, copy its full address from the browser bar. It should start with crypto.stripe.com/pay/.
  5. Go to checkout.rozo.ai/services/fal and paste the link.
  6. Check that the amount matches your credit purchase, pick your coin and chain, and approve the payment in your own wallet.

Keep the fal.ai tab open until the payment completes. Each Stripe crypto page belongs to one purchase, so a new purchase needs a new link.

Which coins and chains ROZO accepts

ROZO Checkout accepts Bitcoin over Lightning, USDC or USDT on Solana, BNB Chain or Ethereum, and USDC on Base or Stellar. The amount is fixed by the Stripe page, so the coin you pick only changes which balance you pay from, not what fal.ai receives.

On Solana, Base, BNB Chain and Ethereum you connect your wallet and see the token and amount before you sign. Stellar and Lightning are standard payment requests from your own wallet. Ethereum works, but its network fee can be large compared with a small purchase, so Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Stellar or Lightning usually fit better.

ROZO pays one link at a time. It cannot be saved as a payment method in your fal.ai account.

Frequently asked questions

Does fal.ai accept crypto?
fal.ai's credits checkout offers a crypto option that opens a Stripe crypto page at crypto.stripe.com/pay/. Its public terms and docs mention card and ACH and do not describe the crypto option, so check the Billing page of your own account.
Which payment links can ROZO pay?
Coinbase payment links (payments.coinbase.com/payment-links/), Coinbase payment sessions (payments.coinbase.com/payment-sessions/) and Stripe crypto payment pages (crypto.stripe.com/pay/).
Which links can ROZO not pay?
Coinbase Commerce charges (commerce.coinbase.com) and Stripe wallet authorizations (crypto.stripe.com/setup/). A setup link has no amount and authorizes future charges, so ROZO does not sign it.
Can I pay fal.ai with Bitcoin?
Stripe's crypto page itself accepts stablecoins only. Through ROZO Checkout you can pay the same crypto.stripe.com/pay/ link from a Lightning wallet, and the amount fal.ai receives stays the same.
Does ROZO charge a fee?
ROZO charges a 1% service fee, shown before you pay. You also pay the network fee of the chain you use, which goes to the network, not to ROZO.
Do I need a ROZO account?
No. You paste the link, pick a chain and confirm in your own wallet. There is no ROZO balance to fund.
Is ROZO affiliated with fal.ai?
No. ROZO is independent and is not affiliated with fal.ai or Stripe. For questions about credits, billing or refunds, contact fal.ai support.
