Flexa has launched a new Mini App Payments feature that facilitates in-person digital asset transactions via integrated wallet environments.

Currently, this functionality is operational across several retail establishments such as Chipotle, Regal, and Sheetz, with plans to expand to more locations soon. Users can utilize these mini apps for self-contained payment processes triggered by scannable QR codes.

Transactions take place through the wallets embedded within each platform, eliminating the need for conventional payment hardware or cards.

Supporting Social and Discovery Platforms

The new Mini App Payments system is designed to cater to payment needs in discovery-driven digital environments. It enables users to make purchases while browsing content or interacting with merchants on supported platforms, streamlining the transaction process without the necessity to leave the app.

At launch, the payment infrastructure supports networks such as Base, Ethereum, and Worldchain. Accepted tokens include ETH, USDC, WLD, and several Base-native assets like Coinbase-wrapped BTC, DOGE, TOSHI, $ZORA, PROMPT, and MORPHO. The integration with both Base and Farcaster is already available, while compatibility with the World App is expected soon.

Flexa officials stated that this update aligns with their strategy of embedding commerce within existing social and digital environments. By simplifying user interaction with merchant payment systems, the technology aims to diminish transactional friction in everyday crypto transactions.

The feature is available to all merchants currently connected to the Flexa network, and the company intends to extend Mini App Payments to additional networks and applications as development progresses.
