Uquid Routes 1-Click Crypto Checkout Across 178M+ Products With Polygon Trails customer story

Uquid put Polygon Trails behind its checkout in 2026, and 178 million products became payable with any token a shopper already holds. Trails, the crosschain orchestration layer of Polygon's Open Money Stack, composes the swap, the bridge, and the settlement into one signed transaction, so Uquid receives the asset it expects on the chain it expects, and the shopper never opens a DEX.

“The friction is real, and it’s killing conversions. We have 178 million products and shoppers in 200 countries, and not one of them should need to know what a bridge is or spend additional time making swaps.”

The Problem

Crypto checkout has a quiet failure mode. A shopper wants to buy something and has the funds, but can’t complete the purchase because the balance sits in the wrong token, on the wrong chain, or both. From there it’s a detour: find a DEX, swap, bridge to the right network, track down a gas token they don’t already hold, then come back and try again. Most shoppers don’t come back.

“At Uquid, we’ve seen firsthand how token & chain confusion causes massive drop-offs. The future of crypto payments isn’t more complexity, it’s radical simplicity.”


Tran Hung

Cart abandonment across e-commerce already runs close to 70%. Crypto checkout stacks its own friction on top of that: wrong network, wrong token, no gas, all before a shopper ever reaches a confirmation screen. For a platform selling into Uquid’s catalog of physical goods, digital goods, tickets, mobile top-ups, gift cards, and bill payments across 200+ countries, that drop-off shows up directly in lost revenue.

The solution

Uquid integrated the crosschain orchestration layer of Polygon’s Open Money Stack, known as Trails, directly into checkout. A shopper picks a product, picks whichever token and chain they already hold, and signs once. Trails composes the swap, the bridge, and the delivery into a single routed transaction behind the scenes, so Uquid receives the exact asset it expects, on the chain it expects, without the shopper ever opening a DEX or bridging by hand.

“We surveyed 1,500 users after launch. 74% came back highly satisfied and 92% rated it satisfied or better, almost all pointing at the same thing: they could pay with whatever was already in their wallet, in under 30 seconds. That’s why we’re happy to have integrated Trails, making crosschain payments seamless.”


Tran Hung

The integration stays self-custodial from end to end: no intermediary takes custody mid-flow, and the destination is enforced by the contracts themselves rather than by a party that could redirect funds. That matters for a platform moving payments across 200+ countries on every major EVM chain at once. It also extends a relationship that predates this launch: Uquid first added Polygon as a supported checkout network in 2022, and Trails now replaces that earlier, manual flow with fully automated routing across any token a shopper already holds. As Uquid put it announcing a related update: “Digital asset shopping shouldn’t require keeping multiple tabs open for decentralized exchanges and cross-chain bridges just to complete a single retail purchase.”

The results

The integration went live in June 2026, putting Uquid on the same Open Money Stack rails already carrying volume for Cash App, Visa, Mastercard, Revolut, and Flutterwave. The integration made Uquid the first consumer commerce platform at this scale to put Polygon’s orchestration layer directly behind a shopping cart. Every one of Uquid’s 178M+ products, spanning digital goods, physical goods, tickets, mobile top-ups, gift cards, and bill payments, is now reachable with a single signed transaction from any supported token or chain.

In a survey of 1,500 Uquid users, conducted by Uquid Research in June and July 2026, 74% said they were “highly satisfied” with the Trails-powered checkout, citing the ability to shop instantly using whatever tokens they already hold. Another 18% reported checkout is noticeably faster with fewer failed swaps. Combined, 92% rated the experience satisfied or better, against 6% neutral and 2% who preferred the older, multi-step manual flow.

“The feedback from our global community is clear: removing the secondary token approval step delivers the exact convenience, safety, and speed modern shoppers expect. It’s our pleasure and honor to get onboard with Polygon, bringing crypto commerce closer to everyone!”


Tran Hung

The bottom line: Uquid turns 178M+ products into 1-click crypto checkout with Polygon Trails, routing any token on any chain into the exact asset it expects, without a shopper ever touching a DEX.
