Overview
Supported Deposit Modes
Description of the characteristics, applicable scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages of Shared Address Mode and Dedicated Address Mode. When working with merchants, it is necessary to first determine the deposit mode they will use. The WaaS system supports the following two deposit modes:
1. Shared Address Mode
Description: In Shared Address Mode, all customers of a merchant use the same designated wallet address for deposits. The deposit amount can either be specified or unspecified.
Applicable Scenarios:
- Merchants with low deposit frequency.
- Merchants with low requirements for fund security.
Characteristics:
- Customers use a single deposit address for all transactions.
- Distinction between customers/orders is achieved through unique deposit amounts (e.g., differences in decimal amounts).
- Lower implementation costs, as there is no need to create a dedicated address for each customer.
2. Dedicated Address Mode
Description: In Dedicated Address Mode, merchants assign a unique wallet address to each of their customers for deposits. There is no need to specify unique deposit amounts.
Applicable Scenarios:
- Merchants with high deposit frequency.
- Merchants with high requirements for fund security.
Characteristics:
- Each customer has a dedicated wallet address, eliminating the need to distinguish customers/orders through amounts.
- Enhanced fund security with more flexible wallet management.
- Requires fund aggregation operations, which may increase aggregation costs.
