Ingenico has integrated WalletConnect Pay, enabling merchants to accept stablecoin payments directly at checkout across its point‑of‑sale terminals.

The integration allows customers to pay using USDC, a popular stablecoin, across multiple blockchain networks including Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Ethereum Mainnet, with plans to expand to additional EVM-compatible chains. Shoppers can complete purchases directly from any WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallet that holds a supported stablecoin balance, such as MetaMask, Trust, or Safe. This setup eliminates the need for intermediary steps, making crypto payments as straightforward as swiping a card.

By combining Ingenico's extensive global payment infrastructure with WalletConnect's advanced payment technology, the partnership facilitates native stablecoin transactions in diverse merchant environments. From retail stores and hospitality venues to transportation, fuel stations, parking lots, vending machines, and self-service kiosks, the solution is designed to integrate effortlessly into everyday operations. WalletConnect, which is already integrated with over 700 wallets, has processed more than $400 billion in network volume this year alone, including hundreds of billions in stablecoin transactions annually.

Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect, emphasized the growing role of stablecoins in modern finance:

“Stablecoins have become an important payment instrument for moving value quickly and efficiently. By working with Ingenico, we’re extending stablecoin payments into real-world retail environments in a way that is practical, familiar, and easy for both merchants and consumers around the world.”
