What is Coinbase Commerce?
Coinbase Commerce allows online merchants to accept cryptocurrencies like ETH and USDC, primarily settled on Coinbase's blockchain, Base. While it offers basic payment tools, it has significant limitations: no support for Solana, limited Bitcoin functionality (requiring a Coinbase account), and very few token options. It also lacks Web3 features, like NFT discounts and airdrops, and has minimal support for other Layer 1 blockchains. Merchants face challenges with selling digital products, slow customer support, and withdrawal delays. Buyers also deal with limited wallet options, making the process cumbersome if they don’t use Coinbase’s wallet.
Introducing Helio: A Better Alternative
Helio provides a suite of crypto payment tools that’s easy to use and offers far more flexibility than Coinbase Commerce.
Solana-First and Multi-Chain: Helio prioritises Solana for its speed and low costs, but also supports BTC, ETH, and Layer 2s, giving you broader market access.
Vast Token Support: Helio accepts payments in hundreds of tokens, including memecoins, with built-in token swaps, so you can settle in your preferred currency.
Digital Products & More: Sell e-commerce products, NFTs, digital goods, and video content with ease. Helio also supports subscriptions and recurring payments.
