I recently explored [Coinbase Commerce](https://www.coinbase.com/commerce), a payment gateway system that enables merchants to accept ETH and stablecoin payments easily. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/polkadot2/original/2X/b/b8a92861e299bc499ff50e59609c1c8c76f130d7.jpeg) **Personal Experience:** I made a transaction on Coinbase Commerce using MetaMask and ETH on the Base network. The payment process was remarkably smooth, from connecting my wallet to receiving confirmation. **Key Features of Coinbase Commerce:** 1. Easy Integration: - Offers simple integration options including hosted checkout pages and API for custom implementations - Supports various e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento 1. Supported Cryptocurrencies: - Accepts major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and various stablecoins (e.g., USDC) - Allows merchants to receive payments in their preferred cryptocurrency 1. Non-Custodial Service: - Merchants have full control over their funds 1. Reporting and Analytics: - Provides tools for transaction history and financial reporting - Helps merchants in accounting and tax compliance I’m wondering if we have something similar for Polkadot with a comprehensive suite of features. If not, can we build something similar for Polkadot? ---

**Alternative solutions** [Lago](https://www.getlago.com/) is an open-source product for payments and billing systems. They offer a comprehensive suite for invoicing and billing, with more details available on their [product page](https://www.getlago.com/products/invoicing). Key points about Lago: - Open-Source - Comprehensive Invoicing: Offers features for creating and managing invoices, managing taxes, collecting payments. - Flexible Integration Perhaps we can collaborate with Lago and leverage their existing open-source ecosystem to integrate into Polkadot? We could potentially save development time by adapting an existing system. Lago’s [growth story](https://www.getlago.com/blog/lago-raises-22-millions) is quite interesting. ---

Hi @muddlebee, I’m Charles-Edouard LADARI from KwickBit. A few months ago, we decided to pivot towards developing a non-custodial payment gateway for e-commerce merchants. Currently, we are in the process of securing a grant (details to be disclosed soon). We are excited to announce our upcoming collaboration with the [Kreivo network](https://parachains.info/details/kreivo_network#about), [Decent Partners](https://decent.partners/), and [Brale.xyz](https://brale.xyz). This partnership aims to promote stablecoin usage by enabling e-commerce platforms to accept payments in these currencies, which we believe holds tremendous value for the ecosystem. **We see significant potential in enabling crypto payments and would love to explore collaboration opportunities with you or anyone you think might be interested with us.** 😃 Please feel free to check our initial post: > [@Decentralized Futures: KwickBit - Non-Custodial Payment Gateway for ECommercers](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/decentralized-futures-kwickbit-non-custodial-payment-gateway-for-ecommercers/8877): > > Hi everyone, My name is Charles-Edouard LADARI, and I have a background in Maths, Machine Learning, and Computer Science. I recently graduated with distinction from the Polkadot Blockchain Academy cohort in Singapore. I am an alumnus of École Centrale Paris, having also completed a research internship at ETH Zurich. With 8 years of experience in software development, including dev, DevOps, and data engineering, I am excited about the potential of Polkadot’s technology to address modern challeng… ---

Base is just killing out there, the integration of Coinbase commerece with social integration with frames on Warpcast is a great user experience too! ---
