Stripe Adds Crypto Checkout via Crypto.com for U.S. Merchants

Stripe settles these transactions in fiat through its existing tools to lower complexity for sellers.

Overview

  • Rollout begins this month with selected Stripe merchants in the United States, with broader availability planned over time.
  • Shoppers on supported checkouts choose the crypto option, scan a QR code, and approve the purchase in the Crypto.com app within seconds.
  • The option is embedded in Stripe Checkout and the Payment Element, so merchants do not need new systems or extra software.
  • Merchant payouts flow through Stripe’s normal settlement process and are recorded alongside cards and wallets, reducing volatility and reconciliation risk.
  • Stripe will also power card-based crypto purchases for Crypto.com users in the U.S., creating a two-way path between buying digital assets and spending them at Stripe-powered checkouts.
