Getly
Sellers on Getly who take payouts in stablecoins choose a network when they set their wallet. As of 14 September 2026, 398 chose BNB Smart Chain and 248 chose Tron — a 62/38 split among 646 sellers who made the choice.
That is a clear preference, and the reason for it is not a view about blockchains. It is arithmetic.
The fee comes out of your money
A stablecoin payout is a transfer, and a transfer costs a network fee. That fee is deducted from the amount being sent, which means it is paid by the seller, not by the platform.
On BNB Smart Chain the fee is small enough to be a rounding error on almost any payout. On Tron it is substantially larger — large enough that the payout gateway itself refuses transfers below a threshold that moves with network conditions.
This is why the minimum payout differs by network: $5 on BNB Smart Chain, $15 on Tron. The two numbers are not a policy preference. They are the two fee environments, expressed as the smallest amount where sending still makes sense.
What the $15 floor actually means
If you are on Tron and your balance is $9, nothing is sent. The money is not lost and nothing is deducted — it stays on your balance and rolls into the next cycle, and the cycle after that, until it crosses the floor.
For a seller with steady volume that is a non-event. For a seller making a few small sales a month it can mean waiting several cycles for a first payout, which feels like a problem with the platform and is actually a property of the network.
Moving to BNB Smart Chain drops the threshold to $5. That is the single most useful thing a low-volume seller on Tron can do, and it takes one settings change.
Changing network, carefully
One thing to be deliberate about: a Tron address is not a BNB Smart Chain address. They are different formats and funds sent to the wrong one do not arrive. When you switch networks in settings, clear the address field and paste the new one — do not edit the old string.
A wallet change also triggers a short hold before the next payout. That is a security measure, not a penalty: an account taken over shortly before a payout run is exactly the scenario it exists to catch. The hold delays a run; it never redirects or removes money.
Why stablecoins at all
Because for a large share of sellers the alternative is nothing.
Card processors do not operate everywhere, and where they do they often require a business entity, a bank account and an identity check that takes weeks. A seller in a country outside that footprint can make a product, list it, and sell it — and then have no way to be paid.
Getly's crypto rail requires no KYC and no bank. USDT or USDC on BNB Smart Chain, USDT on Tron, paid on the 1st and the 15th like every other payout. The point is not to be crypto-native. It is that the seller who cannot use Stripe should not be a seller who cannot be paid.
If you have not set a wallet yet
Set one. A balance with nowhere to go is the most common reason a seller's money sits still, and it is entirely fixable from the payout settings page in under a minute. Pick BNB Smart Chain unless you have a specific reason not to — the fee difference is the whole argument, and it points one way.
