Pros
+ No need to convert between TON and ETH before paying.

Cons
− Splitting funds across both assets can make either balance run low.
− No single 'default' choice — it depends on wallet state at the time.

Anyone holding both TON and ETH can switch between them freely at checkout — just make sure the payment goes out on TON mainnet or Ethereum Mainnet, matching whichever asset is chosen.
