Circle APIs: Getting Started with Payments
Accept payment from traditional and crypto sources and settle in USDC.
Our Payments API is an easy-to-implement API that lets you accept payments from crypto wallets and receive a settlement in USDC. It is designed to be used by any kind of business or internet commerce, not just crypto applications.
Attention: As announced on 3/1/2023, Circle is longer supporting third-party fiat Wire, ACH and SEPA rails via our Payments and Payouts APIs for our customers. More information on this update can be found in our Help Center. Please note that this has no impact on USDC minting or burning, which will continue to be supported via the Circle Account and Core API. For any questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Here's how to get started with the Circle Payments API:
