<\/figure>\nFor all the talk about crypto payments going mainstream, accepting them in the real world has stayed annoyingly hard. Most tools still assume a merchant will happily tolerate extra hardware, a custodian holding their funds, settlement delays, or the price risk of getting paid in a volatile asset. In practice, they won\u2019t. And that friction is a big part of why crypto acceptance has\u00a0lagged.<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re changing that. Bitcoin.com Checkout<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a new self-custodial, multi-chain app that turns the phone already in your pocket into a crypto checkout terminal. Here\u2019s how easy it\u00a0is:<\/p>\n And that\u2019s it. The funds land directly in your own\u00a0wallet.<\/p>\n https:\/\/medium.com\/media\/cc9da63da60fc0419137a3a3fd51e583\/href<\/a><\/p>\n Bitcoin.com Checkout gives you auto-settlement to stablecoins<\/strong>. As a merchant, that means you can accept Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency and have it settle into a stablecoin like USDT, USDC (or the privacy-focused fUSD<\/a>) so there\u2019s no price risk between the moment of sale and the moment of settlement.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the difference between \u201cI\u2019ll think about accepting crypto\u201d and \u201cI accept crypto.\u201d You quote a price, the customer pays, and stable value arrives in your wallet seconds later. Whether you\u2019re behind the counter at a caf\u00e9 or invoicing a client on the other side of the world, it just\u00a0works.<\/p>\n \u201cNow a caf\u00e9 owner can take Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, auto-settle into a stablecoin like fUSD, and never think about volatility again. No processor account, no permission, full custody. You enter an amount, show a QR code, and stable value lands in your own wallet seconds later; whether you\u2019re at a market stall or invoicing a client across the world. This is the first piece of a broader set of payment tools we\u2019re building to make crypto genuinely easy to\u00a0spend.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n -Corbin Fraser, Bitcoin.com CEO<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bitcoin.com<\/a> Checkout is designed for in-person payments, events, deliveries, and quick invoices. Key features\u00a0include:<\/p>\n No new hardware. No processor account. No one\u2019s permission required.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bitcoin.com Checkout works hand-in-hand with the rest of your toolkit. It runs alongside the Bitcoin.com Wallet<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0, meaning you can import your Wallet addresses to accept a broad range of supported assets while staying fully self-custodial. Once you\u2019ve settled to stablecoins, those funds are ready to spend, and merchants can get set up with cards from providers like Zebec<\/a> to spend stablecoins directly.<\/p>\n And to help nearby crypto users find and pay at your business, you can get listed on Bitcoin.com Maps<\/strong><\/a>. Just hit the \u201csubmit listing\u201d button in the bottom, right\u00a0corner.<\/p>\n This is also just the start. Bitcoin.com Checkout is the first piece of a broader set of payment tools we\u2019re building to make crypto genuinely easy to\u00a0spend.<\/p>\n Introducing Bitcoin.com Checkout: Turn Your Phone Into a Crypto Checkout<\/a> was originally published in Bitcoin.com<\/a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.<\/p>\n\n
