What are stablecoin payments on POS terminals ?

They let customers pay with USDC or USDT via wallet QR scans at Ingenico or Paysafe checkouts, converting to fiat for merchants automatically.

Will stablecoins work on my local shop's terminal?

Only if it's one of Ingenico's 40M Android units with the app enabled – check with your payment provider.

Are stablecoins safe for retail payments?

Pegged to fiat, but risks like depegs or chain failures exist; merchants get fiat settlement regardless.
