WalletConnect and Shopify — a new era of crypto payments in e-commerce

In June 2025, @WalletConnect officially announced the integration of cryptocurrency payment features with Shopify, paving the way for the widespread use of USDC for transactions in online commerce. Paying with cryptocurrency is now becoming easier and faster thanks to the use of blockchain #Base and the infrastructure from #Coinbase

Key features when working with $WCT :

Buyers can pay directly from crypto wallets (via QR code or deep link), bypassing complicated interfaces.

The stablecoin USDC is used, minimizing volatility risks.

The integration is implemented on the Base blockchain — this ensures low fees and high processing speed.

Opinion:

This solution could change the e-commerce market. Shopify with millions of sellers is now closer to #Web3 . Simple crypto payments increase accessibility and lower barriers for global users. If the experience proves successful, widespread adoption of such solutions by other platforms can be expected.
