We accept cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), USDT (TRC-20 and ERC-20), and several other major cryptocurrencies through our integrated payment processor. Cryptocurrency payments ensure maximum privacy, fast processing, and global accessibility without bank restrictions or geographic limitations.

The minimum deposit is $20 USD equivalent. Activation prices start from $0.10 but vary by service, country, and live upstream inventory.

If an eligible activation receives no SMS during the 10-minute activation window, its purchase price is returned automatically to your RingSlot wallet. Waiting orders may be cancellable earlier. See the Refund Policy for exclusions and wallet-deposit terms.

The payment processor determines the required confirmations and status. Confirmation time varies by asset, network traffic, fees, and processor availability. RingSlot credits the matching pending deposit after a signed finished-payment notification is verified.

All API requests require your unique API key passed in the X-API-Key header. Generate your API key from the Settings page in your RingSlot dashboard. Keep your key secure and never share it publicly. If compromised, you can regenerate a new key at any time from the dashboard, which immediately invalidates the old one.

Standard accounts are limited to 60 requests per minute across all API endpoints. This is sufficient for most use cases including automated verification flows. If you need higher throughput for bulk operations or enterprise integrations, contact our support team to discuss custom rate limit increases tailored to your usage patterns.

Customer-configurable outbound webhooks are not currently available. API clients should poll the order SMS endpoint for status changes.

Full REST API documentation with request/response examples, authentication guides, error code references, and SDK snippets is available on our API documentation page.
