Introduction
The Checkouts API enables developers to create and manage checkouts for cryptocurrency payments entirely via API — no dashboard required. These APIs provide a simple way to accept payments by generating embeddable URLs that handle the payment flow, including address generation, transaction monitoring, and status updates. Real-time payment notifications are available through webhooks.To use these APIs, you need a Coinbase Business account.
