What is the Gas Tank, and do you need one?
The short answer
The Gas Tank is a small prepaid balance used for two specific things: covering network fees when you accept non-stablecoin tokens, and recovering funds when a customer pays on the wrong chain or with the wrong token. For everyday stablecoin payments like USDT and USDC, you don't need a Gas Tank at all.
Most stablecoin merchants never fund one. With stablecoins, the fees are simply deducted from the payment or passed to your customer. You only need a Gas Tank if you accept volatile tokens, or if you want a safety net to recover customer payment mistakes.
Why blockchain payments have processing costs
Every blockchain charges a small fee to process a transaction, similar to how a card network charges an interchange fee. The difference is that blockchain fees are paid in the native currency of each network: ETH on Ethereum, MATIC on Polygon, BNB on BSC.
If you were managing this yourself, you'd need to keep separate balances on each chain and monitor them constantly. That's the part MakaPay eliminates.
How it works in practice
If you choose to use one, you deposit USDT once into your Gas Tank on MakaChain. From then on, whenever you accept a non-stablecoin payment or need to recover a misdirected one, MakaPay draws the exact cost from your Gas Tank. You never touch ETH, MATIC, or BNB, and you never monitor gas prices.
Most stablecoin merchants never need to fund a Gas Tank at all.
Your two options for handling fees
Option 1: Fees deducted from payment
No Gas Tank needed. Your customer pays $100, you receive approximately $98.87 after fees. Simple to set up. Good for testing or situations where a small difference in received amount doesn't matter.
Option 2: Customer pays the fee
No Gas Tank needed. Fees are calculated and added to the invoice total. Your customer sees a transparent breakdown and pays $101.13. You receive exactly $100. Common for B2B invoicing where clients expect to cover transaction costs.
What about payment mistakes? We fix them.
Occasionally a customer will send a payment to the wrong address, on the wrong network, or for the wrong amount. On most crypto payment platforms, those funds are lost. With a funded Gas Tank, MakaPay can recover them. The Gas Tank covers the cost of the recovery transaction, and MakaPay routes the funds back to you. It's the single biggest reason high-volume merchants keep a Gas Tank funded even when they don't technically need one for fee handling.
Wrong network
Customer pays on the wrong network. MakaPay uses your Gas Tank to recover the funds on the same network the customer paid on, and routes them to your wallet there. You receive exactly what was sent, on that network.
Wrong token
Customer sends a different token than you asked for. MakaPay uses your Gas Tank to recover it. We do not swap it: you receive the same token the customer paid with, then you choose to accept the payment or refund the customer.
Underpayment
Customer sends less than the invoice. MakaPay automatically reconciles and applies the partial payment to the invoice instead of bouncing it.
