Introducing Crypto Checkout in Polygon OMS

Buying something once meant walking into a store with cash or writing a check at the counter. Cards put the purchase on plastic, computers brought stores into our homes, and phones put them in our pockets. Now agents are beginning to make purchases on our behalf.

Each shift has changed where commerce happens and what people expect from it. The way people hold and use money is changing alongside it.

Around the world, people use stablecoins to get paid, save in dollars, and send money across borders. But when they want to buy something, many stores still give them no way to use that balance directly.

That creates an opportunity for merchants. Accepting stablecoins adds another way to pay and gives crypto holders somewhere to spend without moving their money back through a bank or card first. For customers who want to keep their money onchain, that makes buying something much easier.

Today, we’re introducing Checkout in Polygon Open Money Stack. It lets merchants add crypto payments to the purchase flow they already run. Customers pay from the wallet and balance they prefer, Polygon OMS handles the route, and the merchant receives their preferred payout currency at the time of purchase.

Give customers a way to spend the stablecoins they already hold
