Shopify Partners with Coinbase and Stripe to enable USDC payments via Base across its Checkout ecosystem

Shopify is introducing USDC payments to merchants worldwide in partnership with Coinbase and Stripe. This allows merchants to accept USDC from customers globally without integrations or new gateways. Merchants can receive their local currency by default or choose to claim USDC directly into their wallet.

Key Benefits:

• Frictionless, secure stablecoin payments
• No foreign transaction or exchange fees
• Ultra-fast and affordable transactions on the Base network
• Effortless checkouts with buyer wallets
• Merchants can handle complex transactions and checkout steps

Goal: Shopify aims to build a borderless, seamless future for payments, enabling small businesses to sell to customers worldwide as easily as locally.
