✅ Stablecoin Checkout Goes Live
Shopify has teamed up with Coinbase and Stripe to activate USDC payments for millions of merchants — no setup needed. All sellers can now accept crypto by default. To opt out, they’ll have to manually disable the feature.
➡️ Powered by Coinbase’s Base chain, this move simplifies crypto adoption in retail without adding third-party apps or complex payment gateways.
🛍️ Seamless for Merchants
Merchants using Shop Pay or guest checkout can now accept USDC directly from popular wallets. Payments are auto-converted to local currency — unless merchants prefer to hold crypto.
💡 Plus: No foreign exchange or network fees involved, making it cheaper than traditional card payments.
💸 Cashback to Drive Usage
Shopify is offering up to 0.5% cashback on USDC sales for U.S. sellers. Later this year, even shoppers using USDC will get rewards too. It's part of a broader push to normalize stablecoin usage in e-commerce.
🌍 Why This Matters
Stablecoins like USDC are already processing $1T+ in monthly payments. Shopify’s move shows how far we’ve come: crypto isn’t an experiment anymore — it’s becoming part of everyday business.
With giants like Meta, Google, and Visa also exploring crypto rails, Shopify’s stablecoin-first design could be a game-changer for retail crypto adoption worldwide.
