Use case · Ecommerce
Your store sells globally. Your payouts shouldn't wait locally.
DTC brands and online retailers use Settler to convert Shopify and Stripe payouts into stablecoins — automatically, on every batch, without touching how customers pay.
The problem
Revenue moves at the speed of ads. Settlement moves at the speed of banks.
Ecommerce operators live in two timelines. Customers buy in seconds. Payouts arrive days later — after reserves, batching, FX conversion, and whatever friction your bank adds on receipt.
If you source inventory internationally, pay agencies for creative, or scale Meta spend off weekend revenue, that gap isn't an accounting detail. It's working capital you're lending to the banking system for free.
Strong ROAS on Saturday means nothing if you can't deploy that capital until Wednesday.
Shopify or Stripe payouts stuck on T+2 while ad accounts need funding today FX spreads eroding margin on every cross-border payout conversion Rolling reserves locking cash during your highest-growth weeks Supplier payments delayed because bank wires are slow and expensive Single bank account as a choke point for all store revenue
How Settler helps
Same checkout. Stablecoin settlement underneath.
Settler sits in the settlement layer — after Shopify Payments or Stripe captures the sale, before your money becomes useful. Connect your processor, route payouts to a virtual settlement account, and receive USDT or USDC in your wallet on every batch.
Your product pages, cart, and payment flow stay identical. Customers pay by card. You operate on stablecoins — paying suppliers, funding ads, and holding treasury on rails built for global commerce.
Why ecommerce teams choose Settler
Built for how you actually operate.
Match cash to campaign velocity
Instant settlement tier sends USDC when your processor confirms a payout — before fiat fully clears. Scale ad spend while demand is hot, not after the bank catches up.
Pay suppliers in digital dollars
Send USDC to manufacturers and 3PL partners overseas without $35 wires and hidden FX. Many suppliers already accept stablecoins — meet them where they operate.
Treasury you control
Hold USDC between seasons, split across wallets for ops vs reserves, or off-ramp selectively for local expenses. Your revenue isn't trapped in one domestic account.
Banking redundancy
If a business bank freezes or delays, processor payouts still convert to your wallet. Settlement decoupled from a single institution's risk appetite.

FAQ
Common questions for ecommerce.
Do my customers pay in crypto?
No. They pay by card on your existing Shopify or Stripe checkout. Stablecoin conversion happens after the processor pays you out.
What about Shopify's payout schedule and reserves?
Settler doesn't change when Shopify releases funds — it changes what form you receive them in. Once Shopify sends a payout, we convert to stablecoins instead of depositing to a traditional bank.
Can I still use my bank for payroll and rent?
Yes. Most brands off-ramp a portion of USDC to fiat for local OpEx while keeping operating float in stablecoins for suppliers and ads.
Standard or Instant — which should I pick?
Standard (0.5–1%) fits steady stores with comfortable float. Instant (2–3%) fits launch weeks, seasonal spikes, and anyone whose supplier or ad terms won't wait for T+2.
What if my processor isn't listed?
Talk to us. We build integrations for the processors our customers rely on — if yours isn't live yet, we'll scope it and build it out with you.
