Coinbase Payments is Powering Checkout's New Feature

Checkout.com Opens Stablecoin Payments to Enterprise Network

@Checkout has launched stablecoin acceptance for eligible merchants across its network of more than 1,000 enterprise clients, powered by @Coinbase Payments. The integration allows consumers to pay in $USDC or $USDT, while merchants continue to receive settlement in native USD through Checkout.com's existing rails, with no separate crypto integration required.

According to FX News Group, the integration plugs Coinbase's regulated infrastructure directly into Checkout.com's platform, removing the friction typically associated with crypto adoption. Eligible merchants can access stablecoin acceptance as an additional payment option alongside cards, bank transfers, and digital wallets, with no separate crypto integration required.

The service is live across nearly 50 countries, positioning stablecoins as a high-speed alternative to traditional credit card rails for cross-border commerce. Merchants can also expand their reach to consumers who already hold stablecoins, including in markets where access to cards is uneven or local currencies are less stable.

Coinbase Payments: Built for Commerce Platforms at Scale

Coinbase Payments is a stablecoin payments stack designed for commerce platforms, offering instant, 24/7 $USDC payments to merchants globally and without blockchain complexity. It is billed as the first full-stack stablecoin payment solution built for commerce platforms at scale, abstracting away the blockchain so platforms can offer crypto-native payments without needing crypto-native teams.

The Checkout.com deal follows a similar integration with Shopify. Built on Base and already live with Shopify, Coinbase Payments is designed as the fastest way for payment service providers, marketplaces, and commerce infrastructure providers to bring stablecoin payments to market. Stablecoins processed $30 trillion in settlements last year, representing 3x growth year-over-year.

For large enterprise platforms, the appeal is clear. The modular design eliminates the need for crypto-native teams and can settle global transactions at a lower cost than traditional card networks. Businesses receive USD payouts through familiar infrastructure, while their customers gain access to a fast, wallet-based checkout experience spanning hundreds of compatible wallets.
