# ERC-20 / Stablecoins minting fee

### Native coin or ERC-20? Both!

{% hint style="info" %}
Despite choosing an ERC-20 or Native Coin as the price for the NFTs of the collection, the user will be able to pay in any currency using [**any-payments**](/docs/features/any-payments.md).
{% endhint %}

Set a price in Native Coin (e.g., Ether, MATIC...) or ERC-20 (USDC, DAI...).

* Do you prefer a stable price for your collection? We've got you covered!
* Do you prefer to set the price in the selected chain's native coin? We've got you covered!
* Do you want to use your own or a custom ERC-20? No problem either!

Using Mintpad, you can set the price using any coin you choose.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Do you want to change the currency that collectors can use to mint NFTs from your collection?**</mark>

With Mintpad, you can switch the mint fee between native tokens and any ERC-20 token as many times as you need.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Do you want to allow payment with a specific ERC-20 token or meme coin for a limited period and then switch to another?</mark>

You can do that too!

### Flexibility

In the dynamic world of NFTs, flexibility is key. At Mintpad, we offer you the ability to customize the minting experience for your collectors. Here are the powerful features you have at your disposal:

#### **Flexible Minting Fees**:

With Mintpad, you're not tied to a single payment option for minting. Whether your collectors prefer to pay with the blockchain's native token (like ETH on Ethereum or MATIC on Polygon) or an ERC-20 token (such as DAI or USDT), you can easily switch between these options to accommodate their needs. This allows you to:

* **Set ERC-20 minting fees** for premium sales.
* **Switch back to native token payments** during specific events or to simplify the process for certain users.

#### **Timed ERC-20 Payments**:

Do you have a promotional token or memecoin to allow minting during a specific event or limited timeframe?

Mintpad allows you to set a **temporary payment option** with any ERC-20 token. Once the promotion ends, you can switch to another token or return to the native blockchain currency, offering flexibility for:

* **Promotions**: Accept payments in specific tokens for a limited time to encourage early adoption or cross-promotions with other projects.
* **Seasonal campaigns**: Rotate between ERC-20 tokens to keep your collection relevant and exciting for different communities.

### How to switch the minting fee asset
