Coinbase Commerce for WooCommerce POS
Accept BTC, ETH, USDC and more at the Oliver POS via Coinbase Commerce.
Powered through the Coinbase Commerce for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How Coinbase Commerce works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Coinbase Commerce lets merchants accept cryptocurrency payments and settle in crypto or USD/EUR. Oliver POS opens Coinbase Commerce's hosted checkout inside the in-POS browser view via the official WooCommerce plugin.
Coinbase Commerce, briefly
Coinbase Commerce is the merchant-facing crypto-acceptance product from Coinbase, the largest US-licensed crypto exchange. Merchants get a hosted checkout that accepts the major cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDC, LTC, DOGE) and can settle into a Coinbase account in either crypto or USD.
Coinbase Commerce in the Oliver POS browser view
The Coinbase Commerce WooCommerce plugin opens a Coinbase-hosted checkout page. From the Oliver register, the cashier picks Coinbase Commerce; Oliver opens the page in the in-POS browser view; the customer picks their cryptocurrency and either scans the QR with their crypto wallet app (Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Trust Wallet) or copies the address; the customer sends the payment; Coinbase confirms after on-chain settlement (~30 seconds for most chains); Oliver writes the WooCommerce order.
USDC for price stability
For retailers who don't want exposure to crypto price swings, accepting USDC (a USD-pegged stablecoin) gives all the speed of crypto with the price stability of cash. Coinbase auto-converts to USD on settlement, so the merchant's bank deposit is always in fiat.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick Coinbase Commerce at the Oliver POS if you have a tech-forward customer base (cafés near tech hubs, gaming, electronics, niche specialty), if you want to offer one more payment option to crypto-native customers, or if you operate in markets where crypto adoption is meaningful (parts of LATAM, Eastern Europe, SE Asia).
