Shopify is launching native stablecoin payments this month allowing select US merchants to accept USDC through its platform. This marks the company’s biggest crypto step yet powered by partnerships with Coinbase and Stripe. Merchants accepting USDC will get up to 0.5% cashback on transactions while customers paying in USDC will soon enjoy cash-back rewards too.
The program will be opt-out meaning all eligible merchants will automatically accept USDC unless they manually disable it. Shopify aims to expand this feature to all merchants across the US and Europe by the end of 2025. Coinbase built the crypto payments system on its Base blockchain handling refunds and chargebacks. Stripe has added USDC support directly into Shopify’s payment tools.
This integration signals a major leap for stablecoins in mainstream retail. Monthly stablecoin payments have surged to over $6 billion. With crypto infrastructure adopted by giants like Visa PayPal and JPMorgan Shopify is helping bring fast secure borderless payments to millions of businesses.
