Accept USDC payments on WooCommerce

Dollar-pegged, fully-reserved stablecoin payments with no volatility.

USDC is a US-dollar stablecoin issued by Circle, fully reserved and regulated. It delivers the same volatility-free payments as USDT, with an issuer that many US and EU businesses prefer for its transparency and compliance posture. If your customers are dollar-based, USDC is an ideal coin to accept.

For a WooCommerce store, USDC is the stablecoin to reach for when transparency matters. It is issued by Circle, backed by reserves held at regulated institutions and attested monthly — the model many US and EU merchants are most comfortable building a checkout on. VelozaPay forwards each USDC payment on-chain to a wallet you own, across five networks, so you get a regulated dollar payment with no processor holding your funds.

Why USDC

Why accept USDC on your store

Dollar-pegged — zero volatility

USDC holds a 1:1 peg to the US dollar, so the order total never moves between checkout and settlement.

A transparent, regulated issuer

USDC is issued by Circle with reserves held in regulated institutions — a stablecoin many US and EU merchants are most comfortable with.

Available where your customers are

VelozaPay accepts USDC on five networks, so customers pay from whichever chain their funds are already on.

Payment gateway

How the VelozaPay USDC payment gateway works

USDC is a token issued on several blockchains, so when a customer picks it at checkout the VelozaPay payment page first asks which network they want to pay from — Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base or Solana. It then shows a one-time address and QR code for that chain, with the amount fixed to your order total in dollars.

When the USDC transfer is confirmed on the chosen network, it is forwarded straight to your matching wallet and WooCommerce is updated over a REST callback. You hold an EVM address for the EVM chains and a Solana address for Solana; the plugin routes each payment to the correct one automatically.

Five networks, one coin

Customers can pay USDC on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base or Solana — they choose the chain their funds are on.

Regulated dollar value

Each USDC is a Circle-issued dollar token, so the amount the customer sends equals the order total with no conversion gap.

Settles to your wallet

USDC is forwarded on-chain to an address you control. VelozaPay never custodies it and runs no merchant account.

How it works

USDC payments in three steps

1
Install the plugin
Add VelozaPay to WooCommerce and paste your USDC payout wallet — no account, no KYC.
2
Customer pays USDC
At checkout the customer picks USDC, scans the QR and sends the payment.
3
Order completes
The USDC settles on-chain to your wallet and the WooCommerce order is marked paid automatically.

USDC is supported on Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, Base and Solana. The customer picks the network on the VelozaPay payment page.

Pricing

What it costs to accept USDC

The VelozaPay plugin is free, with no monthly or setup fee — you pay only a small flat percentage on a transaction when a customer pays. Because USDC is dollar-pegged, the settled amount is predictable to the cent, and on-chain finality means there are no chargeback fees.

The network fee depends on the chain the customer chooses. Base, Polygon and BNB Chain are all very low-cost, often a cent or less, while Ethereum can be higher when busy — so most customers pick a cheap chain. The customer pays that fee; there is no payout fee or settlement delay on your side because USDC arrives in your wallet directly.

Use cases

Stores that benefit most from USDC checkout

USDC fits stores that want a stable, transparent dollar coin — and a few situations stand out.

US and EU merchants

USDC's regulated, attested reserve model is the one many businesses in regulated markets are most comfortable accepting.

Subscriptions and B2B invoices

A dollar-pegged coin settles for the exact figure agreed, which suits recurring billing and wholesale orders.

Dollar-priced stores

If you price in USD, USDC settles at face value — no moving crypto quote and no volatility to absorb.

Low-fee, high-volume checkout

On Base or Polygon a USDC payment costs a cent or so, making it practical even for frequent, smaller orders.

FAQ

USDC payments — questions

What is the difference between USDC and USDT?

Both are US-dollar stablecoins worth $1. USDC is issued by Circle and is known for a regulated, transparent reserve model; USDT has the larger overall payment volume. VelozaPay supports both.

Which USDC network should customers use?

Base, Polygon and BNB Chain all have very low fees. The customer chooses the network at checkout and it routes to your EVM or Solana wallet accordingly.

Does USDC settle to my own wallet?

Yes. USDC is forwarded on-chain to a wallet address you control — VelozaPay is fully non-custodial and requires no KYC.

What does it cost to accept USDC?

The plugin is free with no monthly fees; VelozaPay takes only a small flat percentage when a customer pays. The customer covers the network fee, which on Base or Polygon is typically a cent or less.

Is USDC a regulated stablecoin?

USDC is issued by Circle and backed by reserves held at regulated financial institutions with monthly attestations. That transparency is a key reason merchants in the US and EU choose it.

Do I need separate wallets for USDC networks?

One EVM 0x address covers Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and Base; Solana uses its own address. The plugin routes each payment to the right wallet.

Do my customers need an account to pay with USDC?

No. They pay from their own wallet on the payment page — there is no sign-up, no ID check and no account on either side.
