How to accept fiat currency if I build my nft marketplace in ALGO?

[nikihana]

I have an NFT marketplace on ETH - but looking to move. Is there a way to accept fiat currency for minting as well as purchases on ALGO?

To accept Fiat, you can do the following:

• use Circle API and USDC: Circle Payments | The next generation payments processing solution
• work with an exchange to provide a way to buy Algos or a stable coin on Algorand inside your application
• use a completely off-chain solution with a classical payment provider (but record the payment on chain)

Thanks @fabrice. If I use Circle and have settled funds in USDC, can I use USDC to pay for gas in ALGO?

All transaction fees on the Algorand network are paid with ALGO.

OK - then how do I convert USDC to ALGO?
