# Payments

All prices are in USD. You pay the equivalent in **USDT or USDC**. The flow is: `/plan` - pick a tier, pick a billing period, pick a payment method. That's it.

Billing periods give a discount off the monthly price: 3 months is 10% off, 6 months is 15% off, 12 months is 20% off. A 1-month payment has no discount.

## Payment methods

### CryptoBot

[@CryptoBot](https://t.me/CryptoBot) is the easiest option. Taligate creates an invoice for the exact USD amount and @CryptoBot converts it at the current rate. You pay in USDT or USDC from your CryptoBot balance, and confirmation is automatic. Your plan activates within a minute with no addresses to copy and no transaction IDs to track down.

### Manual transfer

If you'd rather pay directly from your own wallet:

1. Choose a network - ERC20 or TRC20.
2. Send the exact amount in USDT or USDC to the fixed address shown in the checkout.
3. Tap **I've paid - submit TXID** and paste the transaction hash.

A human then checks the transaction on the block explorer and approves it. Approval usually takes a few hours, and you get a confirmation message when your plan activates. Send the exact amount; rounding or sending a different amount slows things down.

The bot does not verify transactions on-chain automatically - admin checks the explorer and approves (or rejects) manually. TXIDs from unrelated networks or wallets will be rejected.

### Referral balance

If you've earned referral commissions, your USD balance appears at checkout. Whenever your balance covers the full price, a **Pay from balance** button appears. Activation is instant with no transaction required. See [Referral program](/referral-program.md) for how the balance builds up.

## Promo codes

Promo codes give a percentage off a single payment. If you have a code, there's a field for it at checkout. The promo discount stacks with the period discount: for example, a 10% promo on a 6-month payment (which is already 15% off) applies on top of the period price. Codes are single-use and burn when the payment confirms.

## What the bot never asks for

Taligate reads public Polymarket data only. It never asks for a wallet connection, a seed phrase, a private key, or exchange API credentials. The only money that moves is your subscription payment. If you receive a message claiming to be Taligate support and asking for any of the above, it isn't us.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.taligate.com/payments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
