Today we’re excited to announce that businesses can now accept USD Coin with Coinbase Commerce. USD Coin (USDC) is a US dollar-backed stablecoin brought to you by Circle and Coinbase. Accepting USD Coin gives our merchants many of the benefits of accepting cryptocurrency but at a stable price: no transaction fees, no chargebacks, and full control over funds.

Coinbase Commerce is a service launched early last year that enables merchants to accept multiple cryptocurrencies directly into a user-controlled wallet. Coinbase Commerce can be directly integrated into a merchant’s checkout flow or added as a payment option on all popular e-commerce platforms such as Shopify or WooCommerce. It’s easier than ever to start accepting cryptocurrency and setup takes just a few minutes.

Adding USD Coin to Coinbase Commerce enables businesses to accept payments online in the same way they’re able to accept cash in-store. Unlike accepting credit card payments, merchants can accept USD Coin without geographical limitations or the need for a traditional bank account. Merchants can accept payment in USDC from customers around the globe in minutes with zero transaction fees.

How to Get Started

If you’re new to Coinbase Commerce, simply sign up to start accepting USD Coin. If you’re an existing user, then there’s no action required.
