How to accept USDC on Shopify

Last checked 2026-10-16. Source: Shopify Help Center.

1. Check you're eligible

• Shopify Payments must be active on your store.
• Your store must be in a supported Shopify Payments region, and the account representative must live in a USDC-eligible region.
• In the US, stores based in Arkansas, New York, Pennsylvania or Texas can't accept USDC (source).

2. Turn it on

In Shopify admin go to Settings › Payments, open Shopify Payments settings and activate USDC.

3. Choose payouts

Receive USDC payments in your normal Shopify Payments payouts (dollars), or to a USDC balance. Shopify says you may earn credits on USDC orders.

4. Refunds

Review Shopify's refund rules for USDC before going live.

Alternatives

• Strike Shopify app (bitcoin via Lightning, paid in cash).
• Third-party gateways like CoinGate or NOWPayments. Shopify may charge third-party transaction fees on these (source).
