Polygon Unveils Crypto Checkout for Stablecoin Payments

Polygon has introduced Crypto Checkout, a merchant payments product that brings stablecoin and other digital dollars into everyday checkout. This was announced on October 1, 2026.

The product allows users to 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.

Crypto Checkout 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.
