Can I split a hotel payment between crypto and a card?
No. trip1 processes each booking as a single crypto payment from one wallet. Swap or top up before checkout if you need to consolidate funds.

One booking, one payment
trip1 uses CoinGate to process crypto payments for hotel bookings. Each booking generates a single invoice for a single crypto amount, and that invoice has to be paid in full from one wallet in one transaction. Split-tender at checkout isn't currently supported.
Workarounds if you're short on one coin
Swap or top up your wallet before you book
If you're short on the coin you want to use, swap another asset within your wallet or exchange first, then pay the full invoice in the target coin. Most wallets and exchanges support in-app swaps that take seconds.
Use USDC to cover any amount
USDC tracks the US dollar, so 1 USDC is worth about $1. If you'd rather pay a predictable dollar amount without worrying about coin volatility, USDC on Polygon or Base keeps fees to a few cents and settles in seconds.
Book rooms or nights separately
For group bookings or multi-night stays, you can make separate reservations with different funds per reservation - each is still paid entirely in crypto.
