In a blog post yesterday, popular digital-assets exchange Coinbase announced the launch of Coinbase Commerce, a tool that allows merchants to accept "multiple cryptocurrencies directly into a user-controlled wallet." This means that regular sellers now have a low-friction avenue to add cryptocurrency payments to their checkout and ecommerce platform(s). We’ve already integrated with Shopify, one of the largest multi-channel commerce platforms, and are actively adding more integrations to make accepting cryptocurrency as easy as possible. Of important note is that Coinbase Commerce is not a hosted service, meaning merchants will have "full control of their own digital currency." Meanwhile, some merchants already accepting cryptocurrencies include Expedia, Microsoft, and Overstock.com.
