Accepted coins and networks
| Coin | Networks | Processor | Billing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDC | Base | Coinbase Business | Prepaid balance / credits | Website: adds account credit; Porkbun's docs say Coinbase keeps about 1% of a credit top-up. API: "payWith": "usdc" pays one purchase directly at the exact price (Porkbun covers the fee); if that purchase fails, the USDC stays as account credit, not returned to the wallet. No USDT. |
How to pay
- Account credit page (porkbun.com/account/credit) → "Use Crypto" → pay the Coinbase page with USDC on Base. Path taken from Porkbun's docs; not yet seen at checkout by us.
- Choose the coin and the network shown at checkout. Pay only on a network listed above for that coin.
- Send the exact amount from a wallet you control, before the payment window expires. Sending on a different network can lose the funds.
- Keep the transaction ID until the order is confirmed. If the payment does not show up, contact Porkbun support with it.
