By GlobalData“Merchants are faced with the challenge of building seamless checkout experiences that offer consumers the flexibility they want.
“With Coinbase Commerce and Primer working together, any merchant can make secure cryptocurrency payments as readily available to their customers as traditional payment methods like credit cards.”
Primer co-founder Gabriel Le Roux said: “We share an ambition to make crypto a commonly accepted payment method, and we want to help merchants implement it with the same ease and speed they’d experience with any other payment method.
“With Primer’s unique, no-code integration, merchants anywhere in the world can now add crypto to their checkout in just a few clicks.”
Currently, Primer and Coinbase are working on simplifying crypto payment acceptance.
In February this year, Coinbase introduced a free pilot programme, allowing users to send crypto funds to their friends and family in Mexico.
