Accept EURC on Base

This route's live rules

Payments confirm when the network finalizes the block that contains them. Typical confirmation time: varies with conditions. This route is gasless-eligible: customers holding EURC but no gas token can pay through gasless checkout, with the relay covering the network fee. The platform fee is 0.5% per confirmed payment, prepaid.

What paying costs on Base

The payer's network cost on Base is cents at most as of mid-2026, negligible against any euro-denominated ticket. EURC on Base supports EIP-3009, so gasless checkout is available on eligible routes. The customer signs a euro-denominated transfer authorization and a platform relay broadcasts it and pays the gas, which means a wallet holding EURC alone can pay in full. What the customer signs is the exact invoiced EURC amount, and the euro price you set is the euro amount that lands on-chain.

Who pays EURC this way

Customers of EU and EEA merchants, euro-earning freelancers, and businesses that want stablecoin settlement without taking on dollar exposure. EURC balances are still smaller than USDC balances, so many payers acquire it at checkout time through an exchange, which makes low Base fees and per-payment addresses especially useful here.

Common questions

Why accept EURC instead of just USDC from European customers?

Pricing and settling in euros removes the currency mismatch. A merchant with euro costs who accepts USDC carries dollar exposure between payment and conversion. With EURC the invoice, the on-chain transfer, and the settled balance all stay in euros, and on-chain finality removes any chargeback risk.

Does gasless checkout work for EURC on Base?

Yes, on eligible routes. Base EURC implements EIP-3009, so the customer signs a transfer authorization and a platform relay pays the gas and broadcasts. A customer holding only EURC, with no ETH on Base, still completes payment for exactly the euro amount quoted.
