An invoice in USDT looks like a dollar invoice, but two extra lines, the network and the fee payer, decide whether the money arrives in full. Here is what to write and why.

Because USDT tracks the dollar, invoicing in USDT is close to invoicing in dollars for pricing purposes. You can use the same rate card and the same rounding you already use for dollar work. The important thing is to pick one unit and write it once. If you quote in dollars but accept USDT, put the exact USDT amount on the invoice so the client does not have to calculate anything.
Beyond the usual invoice number, description and date, a crypto invoice needs a few payment lines. Without them the client has to guess, and guesses are expensive when transfers cannot be undone.
| Invoice line | What to write | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Amount | A fixed number of USDT | The client sees one number and does no conversion |
| Network | One agreed network, such as TRC-20 or TON | An address works only for the network it was issued for |
| Address | The address issued for that network | A transfer to a wrong address cannot be brought back |
| Network fee | Who pays it: sender or recipient | Keeps the received amount predictable |
| Due date | A date that allows for confirmation time | Confirmation can take from minutes to about an hour |
A deposit address belongs to one network. If a client sends USDT through a different network than the one the address was issued for, the funds will not arrive and cannot be reversed. Agreeing the network before you send the invoice removes that risk. Write the network's name next to the address, and ask the client to confirm it if this is your first payment together.
Every transfer carries a network fee, and the amount differs by network. If the invoice does not say who pays it, the client may send exactly the invoiced sum and the fee may be taken from it, or the other way round. Add a short line such as "Amount to be received: 1,200 USDT, network fee paid by the sender". That keeps the amount you receive predictable and avoids a follow-up request for a small difference.
Nexus Pay is one option for receiving it. The wallet, opened inside Telegram, accepts USDT via TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON, and each deposit address is tied to one network, so copy the address for the network you put on the invoice. Every network has a minimum deposit shown in the app, and deposits below it are not credited, so check it before invoicing a small amount. Deposits are credited automatically once the network confirms them, which takes from a few minutes to about an hour depending on the blockchain.
Once the USDT is in your Nexus Pay wallet, you can keep it, swap it to USDC, BTC or ETH at 0% with no markup on the rate, or move it to the Visa card for a 0.1% fee. Card use requires identity verification, and the card only spends your available balance. Which option suits you depends on how you plan to use the funds. How invoice income is reported or taxed depends on where you live. This article is general information about invoicing mechanics, not tax or legal advice, so check the rules that apply to you.
