Stripe Enables USDC Subscription Payments Across Multiple Blockchains
Stripe’s crypto integration now supports recurring payments in USDC on both Base and Polygon. At the time of writing, the payment processor generated $17 million in volume during September, with Polygon processing around $8 million, Ethereum handling about $8 million, and Base Chain accounting for approximately $960,000.

“We analyzed three chains and saw that in September, @stripe generated $17M in volume. The volume was divided between Polygon – $8M and Ethereum – $8M, while Base accounted for ~ $960k.”

Base Chain and Polygon Selected for Stablecoin Adoption
Base Chain and Polygon were chosen for their lower transaction costs along with faster processing speeds. The setup allows merchants to configure USDC subscription payments directly through their Stripe dashboard, with the feature currently being made available in private preview.
Alex (@obchakevich) had this to say:
“Now businesses accept recurring subscriptions in @USDC on Polygon and Base. This applies to ~20-30% of users with recurrent models.”
The technical implementation enables businesses to withdraw recurring stablecoin payments from customer crypto wallets automatically, which is addressing concerns about payment security and transaction efficiency.

Stripe’s multi-chain approach actually gives companies flexibility in choosing between Base Chain, Polygon, and even other supported networks based on their specific needs.

“I am glad to see that large fintech companies are choosing the right payment chains.”
This expansion positions Stripe crypto integration as a viable option for businesses looking to reduce payment processing costs and also offer customers more payment flexibility through stablecoin adoption.
