What are stablecoin payments on POS terminals ?

They let customers pay with USDC or USDT at checkout; terminals show QR, wallet handles it, merchant gets fiat.

Will stablecoins replace credit cards in retail?

Not soon — cards win on rewards/disputes — but they'll eat cross-border and low-fee volume fast.

How do devs integrate stablecoins into payments?

Via WalletConnect Pay or MoonPay APIs — app on Android POS, acquirer enablement, fiat settle.
