How to pay for a hotel with TRON (TRX) on trip1?
Pay for your trip1 hotel with TRON (TRX) in six steps. Select TRX in the CoinGate window, send the exact amount on the Tron network and get confirmed fast.
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. TRON (TRX) is one of them, and this guide shows you how to pay with it step by step.
Why TRON works well for hotel payments
TRX is the native coin of the Tron network. According to TRON's developer documentation, the network produces a block roughly every 3 seconds, which makes payments fast to confirm.
Tron uses two resources instead of a classic gas fee. Bandwidth covers the size of a transaction, and energy covers smart contract activity. A simple TRX payment uses only bandwidth, and each activated account gets 600 free bandwidth units a day. If you run out, the network burns a small amount of TRX to cover it.
How to pay with TRON - 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 check the cancellation policy. At checkout, choose Pay with crypto.
Step 2: Select TRX in the CoinGate window
In the CoinGate payment window, choose TRON (TRX). The payment address is a Tron address, which starts with the letter T.
Step 3: Choose how you want to pay
Scan the QR code or copy the address into a wallet that supports Tron, such as Trust Wallet, or pay from an exchange or with Binance Pay. Ethereum-only wallets like MetaMask cannot send TRX on Tron. CoinGate may ask for a one-time Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) form, an EU compliance step.
Step 4: Send the exact TRX amount
Send the exact amount shown before the countdown ends - the rate is locked while it runs. If you pay from an exchange, pick the Tron (TRC20) withdrawal network and add the withdrawal fee on top.
Step 5: Wait for the network to confirm
CoinGate usually detects a TRX payment within seconds and confirms it shortly after.
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 send TRX on the Tron network. Some exchanges also offer TRX on other networks, and a payment sent on the wrong network cannot be reversed or recovered by trip1.
