Polygon Puts Stablecoin Routing Behind Merchant Checkout

Polygon introduced Crypto Checkout on 1 October 2026, a merchant payments product that brings stablecoin and other digital dollars into everyday checkout. Users may employ various supported wallets, tokens, and blockchain networks, while businesses can select the assets they receive. Merchants can set settlement in assets such as USDC and USDT, and the checkout flow aims to coordinate conversion and cross-chain routing without requiring a separate integration for each payment path. This is not merely another crypto payment button. It aims to separate the asset and network a customer uses from the stablecoin a merchant prefers to receive. This approach reduces fragmentation that might block a purchase even when the buyer has adequate funds. Introducing stablecoin payments at checkout, now live in Polygon OMS. Add ‘pay with crypto’ to the checkout you already run. Customers can pay across wallets, tokens, and chains without leaving your store to swap, bridge, or cash out. pic.twitter.com/Jr20lr8bRx — Polygon (@0xPolygon) September 30, 2026 Sign Up With MergeX And Trade CryptoCrypto Checkout News: Routing Moves Behind the Payment Flow A buyer could start with a supported token on one ...
