As consumers increasingly expect app-based payment options, merchants face growing pressure to support diverse digital payment methods. The Base Pay integration removes barriers, allowing any Flexa merchant to accept USDC with minimal effort. Users with a Base account can complete purchases at merchants like Chipotle, Sheetz, or Regal using a Flexa mini app with simple passkey confirmation. Flexa’s platform ensures a seamless experience, handling reconciliation, settlement, and custody so merchants retain full control of how crypto fits into their omnichannel checkout. Every Flexa-powered transaction is fully fraud-resistant, final at authorization, and never subject to unexpected reversals.

Customers using Base Pay also benefit from Base app features, including stablecoin rewards of up to 4.1% APY for holding USDC. Daniel McCabe, cofounder and CEO of Flexa, emphasized the company’s commitment to simplifying digital asset acceptance, noting that Base Pay aligns perfectly with the Flexa ecosystem. Jesse Pollak, Head of Base at Coinbase, added that the integration brings merchants into the onchain era with faster, simpler, and more flexible commerce.
