How this directory works

Every listing states what it is based on

Stablecoin acceptance changes quietly — a plugin gets disabled, a gateway account lapses, nobody announces it. So every merchant profile here carries a status, a date and the sources behind it, and we would rather show you a lead marked as a lead than pretend to a certainty we do not have.

Verified
An editor completed a documented check within the last six months and cited sources.
Recently confirmed
Confirmed at the date shown, but the check is now older than six months.
May vary
Acceptance is inconsistent by country, product or checkout.
Unverified
Compiled from public documentation, pending an independent check. Not indexed by search engines until it clears.

Accepting stablecoins with Stripe

If you already run Stripe, this is the shortest path to taking USDC. It is also narrower than most merchants expect, in four specific ways worth knowing before you switch it on.

How to accept USDC on your website

The decision is not which gateway. It is whether you want to hold the asset or hold dollars, and everything else follows from that one answer.

Buying gift cards with USDC and USDT

This is how most people actually spend a stablecoin at a shop that does not accept one. It works, it is the widest-reach option available, and it costs you something real.

Proprietary research

The Stablecoin Spend Index

Adoption measured from primary sources rather than press releases. Every figure is computed from the merchant database at build time, including the ones that are unflattering — like the 45 of 102 merchants who accept stablecoins without publishing which chain to send on.

Monitoring

What’s changed

Acceptance moves. A coin your merchant’s gateway dropped last month is the payment that fails at checkout tonight.

All changes

  1. Record updated Alternative Airlines

    Networks reduced to Solana, the only chain either merchant page names ("USDC-SOL"). Ethereum and BNB Chain were listed on the strength of the processors' general capabilities, which is not merchant evidence. A record correction, not a merchant change.

    Evidence

  2. Record updated CoinCards

    Ethereum and Polygon removed from networks: the merchant's page lists USDC and USDT as payable assets and Polygon (MATIC) as a separate coin, and attributes no network to either stablecoin. A record correction, not a merchant change.

    Evidence

  3. Record updated Coinsbee

    Networks reduced to Tron, the one chain Coinsbee's own pages name ("Choose USDT on Tron (TRC-20) at checkout"). Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and Base were not attributed to this merchant by any source. USDC's network is not published. A record correction, not a merchant change.

    Evidence

  4. Record updated Destinia

    Ethereum removed from networks: the merchant's crypto FAQ names coins and BitPay but no network. A record correction, not a merchant change.

    Evidence

  5. Record updated Hostwinds

    Refund terms and checkout method corrected against the merchant's crypto payment documentation, which states crypto payments are non-refundable and are initiated manually from an unpaid invoice. A record correction, not a merchant change.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I spend stablecoins?
Travel booking, web hosting, domain registrars, VPN providers, gift card platforms, AI and developer tooling, game marketplaces and some electronics retailers all accept stablecoins today. Gift card platforms bridge to almost everything else. See our complete guide.
Which stablecoin is accepted in the most places?
USDC, narrowly. Payment gateways enable it by default, so most merchant integrations support it without anyone making a decision. USDT is accepted almost as widely and leads at platforms serving global and emerging markets.
How do you verify that a merchant accepts stablecoins?
Through merchant documentation, checkout testing where practical, official announcements, payment provider documentation and direct confirmation. Every profile records which methods were used, when, and with what sources. Read our verification methodology.
Is StablecoinSpend affiliated with Circle, Tether or any issuer?
No. We are an independent directory with no affiliation to any stablecoin issuer, blockchain foundation or payment provider. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners.
Does it cost anything to list a business?
No. A standard listing is free and always will be. Submit your business and we will review it.
Which network should I pay on?
The cheapest one the merchant supports — usually Base, Solana, Polygon or Tron. The merchant receives the same amount regardless, so the network fee comes out of your side. See our network guide.
