Prefill all query string parameters in the Onramp URL and take users straight to the order preview screen! If a user does not have an active Coinbase account session, they are taken to Guest Checkout. There are a few ways to generate a One-Click-Buy URL:
  1. Get a ready-to-use URL directly from the Buy Quote API by including the destination_address parameter
Security Requirements must be enforced: Your backend API that generates session tokens must implement proper security measures. See Security Requirements for complete implementation guidance.
  1. Use the getOnrampBuyUrl util to generate a URL
Specify all the parameters in the util to get one-click-buy experience
Should my App use One-click-buy?If your users have already selected the asset they want to buy, an amount, and/or a payment method in your App, yes. If you want to preset these values for your users, yes.

Generating One-Click-Buy URLs

One-Click-Buy URLs must have following query parameters set in the URL:
  • presetFiatAmount or presetCryptoAmount
  • fiatCurrency required for presetFiatAmount
  • defaultAsset (can be omitted when session token specifies only one asset)
Then it initializes Coinbase Onramp with the appropriate parameters to execute that buy. For example: 
https://pay.coinbase.com/buy?defaultAsset=ETH&fiatCurrency=USD&presetFiatAmount=10&sessionToken=MWYwNmYwZmQtNDQwYy02OTFkLTllNGEtMjJhMjIxNzY3ODM5
Send only URL: 
https://pay.coinbase.com/buy?defaultAsset=USDC&defaultPaymentMethod=CRYPTO_ACCOUNT&presetCryptoAmount=10&sessionToken=MWYwNmYwZmQtNDQwYy02OTFkLTllNGEtMjJhMjIxNzY3ODM5
