Welcome to Commerce API
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.
