WalletConnect Pay makes it simple for merchants and payment service providers (PSPs) to accept crypto payments on Polygon, one of the world’s most established and payments-focused blockchain ecosystems. Now live worldwide, WalletConnect Pay enables Polygon-based payments through a single, familiar integration, allowing businesses to offer crypto payments without changing how their payment stack works.
Polygon is purpose-built for global payments at scale. Trillions of dollars in digital assets move across the network, supporting real-world commerce with fast confirmation times, low transaction costs, and high reliability. As demand for stablecoin and onchain payments grows, Polygon has become a critical layer for modern payment infrastructure.
Polygon has emerged as a leading network for onchain payments, stablecoin settlement, and blockchain commerce. Millions of users transact on Polygon every day, powering everything from e-commerce checkouts to in-store payments and cross-border transfers.
Over the last year alone, billions of dollars in volume have been moved on Polygon through WalletConnect, reflecting strong merchant adoption and sustained consumer usage. Stablecoins such as USDC and USDT are widely used across the ecosystem, making Polygon a natural choice for predictable, low-volatility payments.
Polygon has increasingly become the “invisible payments chain”, operating quietly behind the scenes as a reliable settlement layer for modern fintech and commerce platforms.

Trusted by global payment and commerce platforms
Polygon is already used as a payments infrastructure by major fintech and commerce providers, including:
- Stripe, supporting stablecoin payments and onchain settlement
- Revolut, enabling crypto and stablecoin transfers and payments
- Shopify ecosystem partners, powering crypto-enabled commerce experiences
These integrations highlight Polygon’s role as production-ready infrastructure for real-world payments, not experimental crypto rails.
Combined with the WalletConnect network, which connects 700+ wallets and hundreds of millions of users, Polygon enables truly wallet-agnostic, global crypto payments. Users pay with the wallet they already trust, while merchants receive payments through the systems they already rely on.
Payments-Ready Infrastructure, Built for Compliance and Scale
In recent months, Polygon has significantly expanded its payments capabilities, with a strong focus on compliance, resilience, and enterprise readiness. Its evolution into a U.S.-regulated payments platform reinforces Polygon’s position as a serious foundation for merchant payments and PSP integrations.
For payment providers, regulation and predictability matter. Settlement speed, reliability, and compliance are not optional features; they are requirements. Polygon’s continued investment in payments infrastructure aligns closely with WalletConnect Pay’s approach: delivering crypto payments that behave like traditional payment methods, but with better economics and global reach.
