Shift4 Rolls Out 24/7 Stablecoin Settlement for Merchants on Polygon and Other Networks

The new option lets businesses receive fiat‑pegged payouts on-chain at any time, easing cross-border cash management by sidestepping banking cutoff times.

Overview

  • Merchants can settle over multiple blockchains, including Polygon, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, TON, Plasma, and Base, according to the company.
  • Supported stablecoins include USDC, USDT, EURC, and DAI for instant, always-on settlements.
  • Shift4 says hundreds of thousands of its merchants now have access, with the processor handling billions of transactions annually.
  • The integration requires no specialized blockchain expertise and extends to merchant payouts and treasury management.
  • By reducing reliance on correspondent banks and leveraging low-fee, high-throughput rails like Polygon, the service targets faster global liquidity and fewer weekend or holiday delays.
