Checkout.com is launching stablecoin acceptance for eligible merchants in its network of more than 1,000 enterprise customers, powered by Coinbase Payments.

Consumers can pay in USDC or USDT; merchants continue to settle in USD through Checkout.com’s existing rails.

The integration plugs Coinbase’s regulated infrastructure directly into Checkout.com’s platform, removing the friction of crypto adoption for some of the world’s largest digital brands.

Starting today, eligible merchants on Checkout.com’s platform can now access:

• Stablecoin acceptance: Accept stablecoin payments from consumers as an additional payment option, alongside cards, bank transfers, and digital wallets
• Expanded reach: Reach consumers who already hold stablecoins, including in markets where access to cards is uneven or local currencies are less stable
• Simple activation: No separate crypto integration required – stablecoin acceptance is available directly through Checkout.com’s existing platform.

Merchants access these capabilities through Checkout.com’s existing platform. Coinbase Payments operates the payments product experience for the buyer and the merchant through Coinbase’s powerful acceptance APIs.

As the world’s leading regulated stablecoin platform, Coinbase Payments provides the trusted payments infrastructure to serve enterprise payment needs — with regulated infrastructure across nearly 50 countries and custody that has safeguarded assets for over 14 years.
