Can you accept crypto payments on Shopify?

Yes, you can accept crypto payments on Shopify. Since June 2025, Shopify Payments has been rolling out USDC, a dollar stablecoin, to merchants in eligible markets. Stores can also activate a third-party crypto payment provider, which lets customers pay in bitcoin and other coins at checkout.

Does Shopify accept crypto?

Shopify itself does not hold crypto for merchants by default. Its help center says a store activates a crypto payment provider in the Payments settings of the Shopify admin, and can then accept any coin that provider supports. Adding one does not change the store's other payment methods.

Shopify asks merchants to confirm that crypto is an accepted form of payment in their region first. It also notes that slower settlement can cause overselling during flash sales, and that third-party transaction fees may apply depending on the store's plan.

Can a Shopify store accept USDC?

Yes, in eligible markets. Shopify announced USDC on Base for Shopify Payments on June 12, 2025, built with Coinbase and Stripe. Customers pay from hundreds of supported wallets, at guest checkout or through Shop Pay. Base is the Ethereum layer 2 network run by Coinbase.

Merchants are paid in their local currency by default, with no foreign exchange or multi-currency fees, Shopify says. They can instead withdraw USDC on Base to a crypto wallet they control. Shopify's enterprise page says USDC is charged at the standard domestic Shopify Payments rate and is not available in all countries, as of November 2026.

What crypto payment gateways work with Shopify?

Shopify's help center lists several providers. Each has its own coins, settlement options and support team:

• Solana Pay for USDC and other tokens on Solana. See what is Solana Pay.
• Crypto.com for more than 20 coins, including bitcoin, ether and dogecoin.
• BitPay for 14 coins, settled in US dollars.
• DePay for tokens across chains such as Solana, Ethereum, Polygon and Base.
• Lunu and Bit2Me Commerce, which convert payments to regular currency.

How a gateway works in general is covered in what is a crypto payment gateway.

How do Shopify bitcoin payments work?

Bitcoin comes through a gateway rather than Shopify Payments. Shopify lists OpenNode for bitcoin and the Lightning Network, settled in bitcoin or regular currency. Strike takes Lightning payments and settles in US dollars, and IBEX Pay takes Lightning and settles in regular currency the next day. Lightning is a faster payment layer on top of bitcoin, explained in what is the Lightning Network.

Shopify says it does not refund crypto payments automatically, so merchants process refunds through the provider. It also suggests talking to an accountant about how crypto payments are recorded. The tax side for businesses is outlined in how businesses accept crypto payments.
