Shopify integrates USDC, the global ecommerce platform Shopify announced that it now allows merchants to accept payments directly in USDC (USD Coin), one of the most stable and popular stablecoins on the market. The new functionality is available through a partnership with Solana Pay, offering a fast and low-fee alternative to traditional payment methods.
Cryptocurrency payments become a reality for millions of merchants worldwide through Solana Pay integration
The integration marks an important milestone towards the adoption of cryptocurrencies in mainstream online commerce, providing a decentralized, efficient and secure solution for processing payments.
Unlike traditional bank cards or processors, paying with USDC through Solana Pay has extremely low fees, is nearly instantaneous, and involves no financial intermediary.
For customers, the experience remains just as simple: a QR code or link generates the payment, and confirmation takes seconds. For merchants, the benefits are clear: no banking costs, fraud protection and total control over funds.
Shopify, which supports millions of businesses worldwide, is taking a bold step into the future of digital payments. USDC integration is seen not only as a technological enabler, but also as a strong signal that the crypto ecosystem is becoming increasingly relevant in the global economy.
In a landscape where customers are demanding modern, fast and transparent alternatives, Shopify’s move could pave the way for other major e-commerce platforms to follow suit.
