The `Payment method` list includes:

* `Credit Card / Google Pay` - payment by bank card or Google Pay, processed through Stripe.
* `Nowpayments (Crypto)` - cryptocurrency payment.
* `USDT TRC20` - a separate payment option for USDT on the TRC20 (TRON) network.

To pay with USDT on the TRC20 network, select `USDT TRC20`. The payment provider charges a percentage-based fee, so the minimum amount for this payment method is **$21**.
