Do I need to choose a blockchain network when paying with Binance Pay?
No - when you pay on trip1 with Binance Pay, you don't choose a blockchain network. It's an internal Binance transfer, so there's no wrong-network risk.

Why Binance Pay has no network choice
You don't pick a network with Binance Pay because your payment never leaves Binance's own system. When you choose Binance Pay in the CoinGate window on trip1 (CoinGate is trip1's crypto payment provider), Binance transfers the amount from your account to the merchant's Binance account directly.
With the other payment options, you select a coin and then a network, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain for ETH. Binance Pay skips that step entirely. You just choose which coin in your balance pays, and Binance handles the rest.
What this means for you
- No network fee - nothing goes on-chain, so you don't pay gas
- No address copying - you scan a QR code or confirm in the Binance app
- No wrong-network mistakes - you can't send on a network the invoice doesn't support
- No memo or destination tag - coins like SOL or XRP that need one on-chain don't need it here
- Exact amount - Binance sets it automatically, so you can't underpay or overpay
When you do choose a network
If you pay from Binance by standard withdrawal instead, you must pick the exact network shown in the CoinGate window and paste the address. That's the main reason we recommend Binance Pay when it's available - see Binance Pay vs Binance withdrawal.
Blockchain network and Binance Pay - FAQ
Binance Pay is a way to pay from your Binance account by transferring funds directly to the merchant's Binance account inside Binance's own system. On trip1 you choose it in the CoinGate window at checkout, then confirm in the Binance app. Nothing goes on a public blockchain, so there is no wallet address to copy.
None that you need to choose. Binance Pay moves funds between Binance accounts internally, so your payment never goes on-chain. With other payment options on trip1 you pick a coin and then a network, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain for ETH. With Binance Pay you only choose which coin in your balance pays.
No. Gas and network fees are paid when a transaction goes on a blockchain, and a Binance Pay payment never does. It is an internal transfer between your Binance account and the merchant's, so paying for a trip1 booking with Binance Pay carries no network fee, and the Binance app sets the exact amount for you.
No. Binance Pay has no network selection, so a wrong-network mistake cannot happen. That risk only applies if you pay from Binance by standard withdrawal instead, where you must pick the exact network shown in the CoinGate window and paste the address. That is the main reason trip1 recommends Binance Pay when it is available.
To use Binance Pay at trip1 checkout you need a verified Binance account in a region where Binance Pay is available. Binance.US is a separate platform, and its own terms describe its Pay feature as a peer-to-peer transfer between Binance.US users. If Binance Pay is not open to you, you can still pay on trip1 from any supported crypto wallet.
No. Coins such as SOL or XRP can need a memo or destination tag when sent on-chain, but Binance Pay never goes on-chain, so there is nothing extra to add. You scan the QR code or confirm in the Binance app, and Binance moves the exact amount to the merchant for your trip1 booking.
