At a practical level, Coinbase Commerce offers full-featured merchant tools to accept and manage crypto payments from customers. We’re excited to watch what happens when one of the world’s biggest and most trusted brands in crypto becomes easily available to WooCommerce merchants around the world.” - Dave Lockie, Web3 Lead at Automattic
