Welcome to the documentation for the onchain Coinbase Commerce experience!

Commerce lets merchants accept cryptocurrency for their goods and services by API or UI. Customers can pay directly from a computer or mobile device using the blockchain as the settlement network.

Benefits for merchants and their customers include:

  • Accept hundreds of currencies: Customers pay in their preferred currency, which is seamlessly converted to USDC with the Commerce Onchain Payment Protocol.
  • Guaranteed settlement with no volatility: Automatically settle payments in USDC, avoiding overpayments, underpayments, or network and asset mismatches.
  • Deposit funds in any wallet or exchange: Receive payments in multi-sig/self-custody wallets or custody products like Exchange.
  • Access to Coinbase balances - Customers can use their verified Coinbase account to pay any Commerce merchant.
  • Instant confirmation: Customers can leverage low-cost transactions on networks like Base & Polygon.

Coinbase Commerce is built on top of the Onchain Payment Protocol, which is an open source universal standard we’ve developed to unify and simplify crypto payments.
