What is a Coinbase Wallet payment link?

A Coinbase Wallet payment link is a shareable URL that opens PayRequest's checkout, lets the customer connect their Coinbase Wallet via WalletConnect, sign a USDC transfer in one tap, and lands the payment in your wallet on Base — the fast, cheap Ethereum L2 built by Coinbase — without you writing a single line of smart-contract code.

Coinbase is the largest regulated crypto exchange in the United States with over 110 million verified users. Many of those users have Coinbase Wallet — Coinbase's self-custody mobile app and browser extension that lets them hold and send crypto without Coinbase acting as custodian. Coinbase Wallet supports Base, Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM chains, and is the most natural wallet for US-based crypto holders to use for business payments.

Base — the Ethereum L2 blockchain built by Coinbase — has seen explosive growth since its launch. Fast (2-second confirmations), cheap (under $0.01 gas), and deeply integrated with the Coinbase ecosystem, it's become the default network for USDC transfers. Coinbase Wallet users are primed to pay on Base because their exchange and their wallet both treat Base as home.

PayRequest connects Coinbase Wallet to every payment link via WalletConnect. The customer opens your link, clicks Pay with Wallet, selects Coinbase Wallet in the modal, approves the USDC transfer, and the payment confirms on Base in under 2 seconds. PayRequest handles wallet detection, transaction monitoring, and confirmation emails automatically. You receive the full USDC amount directly in your connected wallet — PayRequest never holds funds.

Why Coinbase Wallet

Everything you need. Nothing extra.

Base: 2-second USDC settlement, <$0.01 gas
Base is Coinbase's own Ethereum L2. USDC on Base confirms in ~2 seconds at a fraction of a cent in gas. Coinbase Wallet users are already on Base — they pay without switching networks.
110M+ Coinbase users, reachable with one link
Any Coinbase Wallet user — on iOS, Android, or the Chrome extension — can pay your link without any additional setup. They already have the wallet; you just send the link.
Zero chargebacks
Base transactions are irreversible once confirmed. No 90-day dispute window, no reversal risk, no chargeback fees from a card network. On-chain finality is permanent.
Direct to your wallet — PayRequest never holds funds
USDC transfers go directly from the customer's Coinbase Wallet to your connected wallet address on Base. PayRequest verifies the on-chain confirmation but never touches the funds.
Mobile app + browser extension
Works with Coinbase Wallet on iOS, Android, and the Chrome browser extension. Desktop users sign in the extension; mobile users get a deep-link that opens the Coinbase Wallet app directly.
Same link accepts cards, iDEAL, PayPal too
Clients who don't have Coinbase Wallet can pay the same link by card, iDEAL, SEPA, or PayPal. You don't create separate links per payment method — one link, every option.

FAQ

Coinbase Wallet payment links

Does Coinbase Wallet have a payment link feature?
No — Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet for storing and sending crypto. It doesn't generate shareable payment links or hosted checkout pages. To accept Coinbase Wallet payments via a link, you need a platform like PayRequest that integrates via WalletConnect. The customer experience is seamless: open your link, tap Connect Wallet, approve in Coinbase Wallet, done in under 2 seconds.
What's the difference between Coinbase and Coinbase Wallet?
Coinbase (the exchange) is a custodial platform — Coinbase holds your crypto. Coinbase Wallet is a separate self-custody app — you hold your own private keys. For receiving business payments, you want funds going to your own wallet (self-custody). PayRequest connects to your Coinbase Wallet address directly; funds never touch the Coinbase exchange unless you manually transfer them there.
Which network should I use — Base or Ethereum?
Base, almost always. Base is Coinbase's own Ethereum L2 with 2-second confirmations and under $0.01 gas. Ethereum L1 has higher decentralization but 15–30 second confirmations and $1–5 gas per transaction. For business payments, Base's speed and cost profile is significantly better. Coinbase Wallet users are already Base-native — they don't need to switch networks.
What does PayRequest charge for Coinbase Wallet payments?
2% per successful payment, capped at €25 per transaction. Customer pays Base gas on top (typically under $0.01). No monthly fee, no setup cost. On a €1,000 invoice: PayRequest fee = €20. On a €2,000 invoice: fee = €25 (capped). Base gas = less than $0.01 — essentially free.
Can I auto-convert USDC from Coinbase Wallet to euros?
Transfer USDC from your self-custody wallet to your Coinbase exchange account (same company, easy transfer), then sell USDC for EUR in one click, and withdraw to your bank account within 1–2 business days. Coinbase's tight integration between wallet and exchange makes this smoother than with other wallets.
How does Coinbase Wallet compare to MetaMask for business payments?
Both are EVM wallets and support Base, Ethereum, and Polygon. Coinbase Wallet has a cleaner mobile UX and tighter integration with the Coinbase exchange for fiat off-ramping. MetaMask has more power-user features and is more popular in DeFi. For US-based clients or clients who use Coinbase as their primary exchange, Coinbase Wallet is the smoother experience. PayRequest supports both on the same link.
Is Coinbase Wallet regulated?
Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet — it's software, not a financial institution, so it's not regulated in the traditional sense. However, Coinbase (the company) is a publicly traded, regulated US crypto exchange. Coinbase Wallet users are often also Coinbase exchange users, meaning they've gone through KYC/AML verification — which is why the Coinbase Wallet audience tends to be among the most verified and compliant crypto users.
