Bitpace and Unigox when a customer sends stablecoins
| Topic | Bitpace | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| Coins and networks | Bitpace advertises a wider coin range than its published list; that list has USDC but not USDT, and no Bitpace page names USDT. The gateway page names Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20) but lists no networks per coin. | Crypto processing takes stablecoin payments on the major EVM networks (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Unichain and HyperEVM), Robinhood Chain, Tron, TON and Solana. Which stablecoins a business accepts on each network is agreed during setup. |
| What your balance receives | The settlement currency set for the order or the deposit address: EUR, USD, GBP or USDC, with EUR as the default. | The coin the customer sent: USDT stays USDT, USDC stays USDC. |
| Customer addresses | One address per order, open for 30 minutes by default and payable in instalments inside that window, or one reusable address per customer and coin for top-ups. | An address per invoice, with addresses on several networks under one reference, or a reusable address per customer. Your system is told the amount that actually arrived. |
| Taking money out | Fiat goes only to a corporate bank account in your company's name, reviewed before first use. The merchant panel also holds crypto as a portfolio you can buy, sell, deposit and withdraw. | Hold the stablecoins, send them to your own wallet, or convert them to EUR or GBP, using the withdrawal services open to your company. |
| Pricing | No price list on the site: you request a demo, and conversion and withdrawal fees are shown in the merchant panel. | No public rate card either; priced for your company. |
| Regulation | Q500 Canada Inc. is registered as a money services business with FINTRAC. Q500 MEA Limited in Comoros holds a brokerage and clearing house licence from the Mwali International Services Authority. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |

Unigox crypto processing. Customers send USDT or USDC from their own wallet or exchange, and your balance holds the coin they sent until you move or convert it.
What does Bitpace charge merchants?

Can Bitpace settle payments in USDT?
Its help centre lists EUR, USD, GBP or USDC as the settlement options, with EUR as the default, and no Bitpace page names USDT. To hold USDT, run Unigox on the same checkout: Bitpace keeps bitcoin, EUR settlement and your plugins, and Unigox credits the customers who send USDT.
