Both provide full access to onramp/offramp flows, but they differ in complexity, flexibility, and time-to-market.
Widget Integration (Plug & Play)
The widget is the fastest way to get started.- Setup: Add your API key + desired query parameters to our hosted widget URL.
- Implementation: Simply embed the widget in your app or website via iframe — no backend development required.
- Customization: Limited to widget configuration options (themes, supported currencies, cryptocurrencies, and payment methods).
- Transaction Tracking: Subscribe to webhooks to receive status updates for onramp and offramp transactions.
- Best For: Teams that want a low-code, quick launch solution with minimal integration overhead.
API Integration (Full Control)
The API offers maximum flexibility and control.- Setup: Use your API key to call our REST endpoints directly.
- Implementation: Requires backend integration to handle requests, authentication, and webhook events.
- Customization: Complete control over the user flow, UI/UX, supported assets, and payment methods.
- Transaction Tracking: Webhooks and polling endpoints provide fine-grained visibility into transaction lifecycles.
- Best For: Teams that need deep integration into existing products, advanced workflows, or custom UI.
Choosing the Right Method
- Choose Widget Integration if speed, simplicity, and plug-and-play deployment are your priorities.
