A dash means we found no evidence of support, not that support is impossible. Coin availability at checkout can differ by country and product.

Payment networks

Which network each coin is accepted on, exactly as Courtyard documents it. A coin and a network appearing in the same record does not by itself mean the two go together.

USDC
Polygon

Each pairing above is taken from Courtyard’s own documentation or its named gateway’s. Absence means we found no evidence, not that a chain will fail.

Pay on the cheapest network offered — Courtyard receives the same amount either way, so the fee comes out of your side. Our network comparison covers which to pick.

Payment notes

Courtyard's help centre is unusually specific. "Your Courtyard wallet uses USDC on the Polygon network to handle transactions." To fund it you "send USDC from a cryptocurrency exchange to your Courtyard wallet", using any exchange "that allows you to withdraw USDC on the Polygon network"; "direct bank transfers are not a supported method". Transfers usually land "in less than a minute", with an allowance of ten to fifteen minutes when Polygon is busy, and you can check the address on Polygonscan yourself. A separate article says the embedded wallet "is specifically designed to work with USDC (USD Coin) on the Polygon network", warns that funds sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered, and lists self-service recovery tools for the common wrong-asset cases — POL, WETH, USDT and the legacy USDC.e sent on Polygon, and assets sent on Ethereum by mistake. The card route (credit, debit, Apple Pay) exists alongside, and Courtyard itself points large buyers at the wallet to "skip the credit card fees". Withdrawing a balance goes through Coinflow to a bank account or debit card and needs identity verification first.

Refunds

Not documented as a returns policy for purchases; the marketplace and pack model does not lend itself to one. A card you buy sits in the vault under your account until you sell it on or ship it, and once a shipment is placed it cannot be cancelled. A wallet balance can be withdrawn after identity verification.

Stablecoin refunds are outbound payments a merchant chooses to send, not automatic reversals. There is no chargeback.

Most merchants in this directory bolted a crypto option onto an existing checkout. Courtyard is built the other way round: the account balance is USDC on Polygon, and cards are a payment convenience on top.

How paying works

You fund a Courtyard wallet by sending USDC on Polygon from an exchange or your own wallet. The help centre is precise about it — “USDC on the Polygon network”, no bank transfers, usually under a minute to arrive, check Polygonscan if it does not. Then you buy: a graded card from the marketplace, or a pack whose contents you find out when you rip it. The card stays in the vault under your name until you sell it on or ask for it to be shipped.

Credit and debit cards and Apple Pay work too. Courtyard’s own advice to anyone spending five thousand dollars is to fund the wallet instead and skip the card fees, which is about as clear an endorsement of stablecoin payment as a merchant gives.

The native-USDC detail

Polygon carries two USDCs: the native one Circle issues, and the older bridged USDC.e. Courtyard publishes a recovery tool for USDC.e sent by mistake, which tells you the wallet wants the native token. If your exchange offers a choice, pick USDC, not USDC.e. Funds sent to a wrong address are gone, in Courtyard’s words as much as ours.

What you are buying, and what happens after

Graded cards — Pokémon, sports, Marvel, One Piece — held in an insured vault, plus packs and raffles. Buying a card makes it yours on-chain and in the vault; shipping it out is a request, fulfilled by FedEx, that cannot be cancelled once placed. Selling a card puts USDC back in the wallet, and withdrawing that to a bank or debit card needs identity verification first. Note that Courtyard’s service for vaulting your own cards was paused when we checked.

Crypto Emporium and BitDials are the other collectibles-adjacent merchants here. The Polygon hub covers the two-USDC problem in more depth.

Verification

Verified Verified September 2026

An editor confirmed these payment options against the sources listed below.

Courtyard's own help centre names the coin and the network in two articles — "How can I add funds to my Courtyard wallet" and "Recovering funds sent on the wrong blockchain" — and the detail is operational rather than promotional: funding steps, expected timings, a Polygonscan check, and recovery tools for the wrong-asset cases, including the legacy bridged USDC.e. That is merchant documentation naming coin and network, which carries a verified status without a live purchase, which we did not make. The card and Apple Pay routes, the withdrawal process through Coinflow with identity verification, the paused vaulting service and the no-cancel shipping rule are from the same help centre. Company identity is from the terms of service (Courtyard, Inc., a Delaware corporation) and the New York address on the site. Courtyard's homepage says nothing about payment methods at all, which is common and is why the help centre is cited rather than the storefront.

  1. Added to directory

    Added after reading Courtyard's own help centre, which names USDC on the Polygon network as the wallet's settlement asset.

Limitations

  • USDC on Polygon only, and native USDC — Courtyard publishes a recovery tool for the legacy bridged USDC.e, which tells you it is not what the wallet expects.
  • Account-credit model: you fund a Courtyard wallet first, then buy. Bank transfers cannot fund it; only USDC on Polygon can.
  • Vaulting your own cards was paused when we checked — new shipments to the vault are returned. Buying and shipping out were unaffected.
  • Identity verification is required before your first withdrawal of a balance, and Courtyard's payout partners may require their own.
  • Shipping destinations are not published; withdrawal to bank or debit card is limited to the countries its payout partner supports.
