Coinbase and PPRO Bring Stablecoin Payments to Merchants Worldwide

TL;DR: Coinbase and PPRO are partnering to make it easier for merchants to accept stablecoin payments. Merchants will be able to accept stablecoins from over 150 million holders globally, activated directly through the Coinbase and PPRO integration.

Early Movers in Stablecoin Payments

Coinbase and PPRO are joining forces to bring stablecoin payments into mainstream commerce. Eligible, qualified merchants using PPRO’s payment platform will be able to accept stablecoin payments within their existing dashboard. 

Why This Matters

The partnership removes the traditional barriers to accepting crypto payments. Merchants get access to 150M+ stablecoin holders through their existing payments stack, while customers can pay with stablecoins from hundreds of wallets, with no gas fees. It’s a seamless bridge between the crypto economy and everyday commerce. 

What Coinbase Is Enabling

Through Coinbase Payments, PPRO can offer merchants a complete stablecoin payments suite via their existing integrations. Merchants can reach out to their PSP to enable stablecoin payments. Once enabled by their PSP, merchants simply access stablecoin payments directly in their existing dashboard. No new integrations, no added complexity.

For buyers, this is the simplest way to pay with stablecoins anywhere on the internet: no gas fees, no bridging, any wallet, all in a click. This means less friction and higher conversion. 

The result for merchants:

• 24/7 real-time settlement

• Lower transaction and FX costs by bypassing legacy payment infrastructure

• Streamlined treasury operations with faster access to funds

• Familiar payments primitives

• Access a new pool of customers 

Built for Global Scale

The collaboration launches in the U.S. with plans to expand into additional regions. Together, Coinbase and PPRO are giving merchants a pathway to reach a wider, more diverse customer base wherever they operate.
