Can Shopify Payments accept USDC?
Shopify Payments can offer USDC, a dollar-linked stablecoin, as a payment method at checkout; the two routes side by side:
- Shopify Payments must be activated on your store
- Your store must be in an eligible region: the US except Alaska, New York and Texas; Mexico; 29 European countries; or Asia-Pacific through Shopify Payments Hong Kong
- Your account representative must have a residential address in a USDC-eligible region
- You don't have to hold crypto: USDC sales can be paid out in your chosen payout currency as part of your Shopify Payments payouts. In some regions you can instead claim them manually as a USDC balance
- USDC orders can't be partially captured, used for subscription products or followed by post-purchase upsells, and customers can't dispute them
- Nine processors listed, among them Solana Pay, BitPay and Crypto.com, added in Settings > Payments
- Refunds are manual, through the processor
- Shopify's third-party transaction fee might still be charged on these payments, and the amount depends on your plan
- Shopify also asks you to verify that cryptocurrencies are acceptable as a form of payment in your region before accepting them
- Orders paid with cryptocurrency through an additional provider can also sit in Payment pending, where some order actions can be restricted
How do third-party crypto processors work on Shopify?
Beyond Shopify Payments, Shopify's cryptocurrency page lists nine processors you activate as additional payment methods from Settings > Payments: Solana Pay, Crypto.com, BitPay, DePay, OpenNode, Strike, Lunu, Bit2Me Commerce and IBEX Pay; Solana Pay and Lunu are listed as taking USDC. Coinbase Commerce was not among the nine when we read the page on September 24, 2026. Our step-by-step crypto payments setup guide walks through both routes.
Refunds are the main trade-off:
There are no automatic refunds for cryptocurrency payments through Shopify. You need to refund payments manually through your payment gateway.
What are the limits of crypto on a Shopify store?
Accepting crypto isn't selling it. Shopify Payments prohibits products or services related to virtual currencies and cryptocurrencies.
