Global Stablecoin Settlement Now Available for Shift4 Merchants

USDC, USDT, EURC, and DAI Now Available Across Ethereum, Solana, Plasma, Polygon, TON, Base and Stellar

Today, Shift4 is launching our new stablecoin settlement platform. This release gives hundreds of thousands of Shift4 merchants around the world the ability to receive settlement in stablecoins instead of waiting for traditional bank transfers. Merchants can now move money at any time and access funds faster than ever before.

This product marks a meaningful step forward in Shift4’s evolution to integrate crypto and stablecoin capabilities. Stablecoin settlement gives businesses access to reliable digital currencies and a global payment network that operates around the clock. It removes friction from the traditional settlement process, which relies on bank hours, batch windows, and cross-border delays.

Why Stablecoin Settlement Matters for Modern Commerce

Bank settlement has not kept pace with the speed of today’s digital economy. Most businesses still face waiting periods for deposits to clear, slow movement of funds across international borders, and gaps in availability on weekends or holidays. Stablecoins solve these issues by providing fast, predictable, and always-on settlement.

Stablecoins have become one of the fastest growing categories in global payments because they provide:

Instant settlement, even across countries
Continuous availability, including nights and weekends
Lower transfer costs compared to legacy rails
Improved treasury flexibility
Compatibility with modern financial tools and on-chain automation

Shift4’s stablecoin settlement platform gives merchants the benefits of blockchain technology without requiring them to learn or manage the underlying technical details. Merchants simply choose stablecoin settlement inside their Shift4 dashboard and the system handles the rest.

Merchants Can Choose Their Preferred Stablecoin

At launch, merchants can select from several of the most widely used and trusted stablecoins in the world. These include:

USDC
USDT
EURC
DAI

This flexibility helps businesses manage treasury operations in a way that fits their financial strategy. For example, merchants may choose dollar-based stablecoins for predictable cash flow, euro-based settlement for European operations, or decentralized options like DAI for on-chain ecosystems.

These currencies are already used globally for cross-border commerce, remittances, payroll, B2B settlement, and treasury management. Shift4 is now making them available to mainstream merchants with a single click.

Settlement Across Ethereum, Solana, Stellar and Several Other Major Networks

Shift4’s new platform includes multi-chain support so merchants can choose the blockchain that best fits their needs. Supported networks include:

Ethereum
Solana
Polygon
Base
Stellar
Plasma
TON
Additional networks that will be added over time

Each merchant can choose the network that aligns with their preferences, treasury strategy, and operational requirements.

A Major Advancement in the Future of Payments

Bringing stablecoin settlement to Shift4’s merchant ecosystem is an important step toward a faster, more flexible global payments infrastructure.

“As Shift4 becomes an increasingly global company, this offering will support businesses around the world as stablecoins continue to play a growing role in the modern payments ecosystem. It is not surprising that more businesses want the added flexibility and speed of stablecoins in our 24/7 global economy and we’re here to power commerce no matter what payment type is being used by the consumer or settled for the merchant,” said Pietro Moran, Shift4’s Director of Crypto.

As stablecoins continue to expand into mainstream financial use cases, Shift4 is giving merchants a practical way to adopt the technology without adding complexity to their operations.

Designed for a Simple and Seamless Merchant Experience

Shift4 built stablecoin settlement with ease of use in mind. Merchants will be able to:

Enable stablecoin settlement directly in their Shift4 dashboard
Select their preferred stablecoins and networks
View settlement status in real time
Combine fiat and stablecoin options as needed
Use Shift4’s crypto customer support as they try new settlement methods

The entire process is seamless, even for businesses that have never interacted with digital currencies before.
