Why accept USDC Polygon PoS
E-commerce and SaaS checkouts that want Ethereum-compatible USDC at a fraction of the cost, and customers paying from Polygon-native apps and wallets.
Native USDC on an EVM chain
Circle issues USDC natively on Polygon PoS, so MetaMask-style wallets work unchanged and there is no bridged-token risk.
Cents, not dollars
Transfers cost well under a cent and confirm in seconds — the economics of Solana with the tooling of Ethereum.
Popular with e-commerce and SaaS
Polygon is widely integrated in consumer apps, loyalty programmes and marketplaces, which makes it a familiar option at a web checkout.
Unified USDC balance
Polygon deposits join the same balance as your other USDC networks; withdraw wherever it is cheapest, no bridging required.
How to accept USDC Polygon PoS payments
Every network pays into the same USDC merchant balance — no cross-chain fees, no manual reconciliation.
-
Enable USDC on Polygon in your dashboard
Switch on Polygon PoS for USDC in the merchant dashboard. It appears at your checkout next to the other networks you accept.
-
Create the payment
Your checkout calls the API with the amount and network=Polygon PoS. We return a dedicated Polygon deposit address and a payment window.
-
The customer sends USDC
They pay from any wallet or exchange that supports USDC on Polygon. We watch the chain and mark the payment as detected, then confirmed.
-
You get the webhook and the balance
On confirmation we notify your server and credit your unified USDC balance — the same balance every other network pays into. Keep it, auto-convert, or settle to fiat.
Create a USDC Polygon PoS payment in one call
One request returns a deposit address and a hosted checkout link; a webhook tells your server when the payment is detected and when it confirms.
