Updated
trip1 is a hotel booking platform where you can book from over 3 million hotels in 190+ countries and pay with 50+ cryptocurrencies through CoinGate, trip1's MiCA-licensed crypto payment provider. Dogecoin is one of them, and this guide takes you through a DOGE payment step by step.
Why Dogecoin works well for hotel payments
Dogecoin was designed for fast, low-cost transfers. Its target block time is 1 minute, which is ten times faster than Bitcoin's 10 minutes.
The Dogecoin Core developers recommend a minimum fee of 0.01 DOGE per kilobyte, and a typical payment is well under one kilobyte. That keeps sending costs very small, even for a larger hotel booking.
How to pay with Dogecoin - step by step
Step 1: Choose your hotel and select Pay with crypto
Search for your hotel on trip1, pick your dates and room, and compare cancellation policies. At checkout, choose Pay with crypto.
Step 2: Select Dogecoin in the CoinGate window
In the CoinGate payment window, choose Dogecoin (DOGE). DOGE uses the Dogecoin network only, and its addresses usually start with the letter D.
Step 3: Choose how you want to pay
Scan the QR code or copy the address into a wallet that holds DOGE, such as Trust Wallet or Exodus, or pay from an exchange or with Binance Pay. CoinGate may ask for a one-time Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) form, an EU compliance step.
Step 4: Send the exact DOGE amount
Send the exact amount before the countdown ends - the rate is locked while it runs. If you pay from an exchange, choose the Dogecoin network and add the withdrawal fee on top.
Step 5: Wait for the network to confirm
CoinGate detects your DOGE transaction quickly and waits for network confirmation, which usually takes a few minutes.
Step 6: Check your confirmation email
trip1 confirms your booking and emails you the details. If you sent too little or too late, the invoice lets you top up or request a refund.
Important: Always withdraw DOGE on the Dogecoin network. Some exchanges also offer DOGE on other networks, and a payment sent on the wrong network cannot be reversed or recovered by trip1.
