Coinbase has announced an upgrade to Coinbase Business, its enterprise payment product, introducing a range of features designed to make it easier for companies to accept cryptocurrency payments. The most notable change is support for payments initiated by AI agents. Coinbase Business now works with the open machine-payment standard x402, allowing existing Checkout flows to accept transactions from AI agents. Funds are settled instantly in USDC to business accounts, where they can be used to earn yield or withdrawn at any time. In addition, the platform now supports USDT payments. Other new capabilities include reusable payment links, which let businesses create a single link that can be shared multiple times, with options to set usage limits, pause, or disable it. Flexible pricing allows merchants to set minimum, maximum, or open-ended amounts, suited for donations, tips, or demand-based billing. A product catalog feature enables businesses to enter product information once and reuse it across payment links, Checkout, and invoices. The upgrade also adds buyer information collection during checkout, gathering details such as name, email, and shipping address to reduce manual order processing. These changes reflect a broader push to integrate crypto payments more seamlessly into automated business workflows.
