What is Coinbase Commerce?
Coinbase Commerce is a platform that helps merchants anywhere in the world accept cryptocurrency payments in a fully decentralized way that displays instructions on how to send funds directly to merchants, and monitors the blockchain for the transaction. After a valid payment is detected, Coinbase notifies the merchant so they can take any necessary actions on their end.
All payments facilitated by Coinbase Commerce are fully decentralized and peer-to-peer. This is so the cryptocurrency goes directly from wallet to a wallet and is only accessible by the merchant. At no point in this flow does anyone except the merchant, including Coinbase, have access to these funds.
