Coinbase Commerce Review

Coinbase Commerce is a cryptocurrency payment processing solution offered by cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service Coinbase, which allows merchants to accept payments in a variety of cryptocurrencies. Coinbase was founded in 2012 and is incorporated in the United States. The company holds a Money Transmitter License (MTL) in 44 US states and is licensed as a Electronic Money Institution (EMI) in the European Union.

The product features of Coinbase Commerce include a basic merchant functionality like hosted checkouts, invoicing from the user interface and conversion to USD or stablecoins. The overall impression is that Coinbase Commerce is more of a use case for the Coinbase Exchange than a full-fledged cryptocurrency payment gateway.

In fact, Coinbase Commerce and Coinbase.com, the exchange, are not the same company. The Coinbase Exchange operates as Coinbase, Inc. whereas Coinbase Commerce operates under the legal entity Toshi Holdings Pte. Ltd.
