Coinbase Onramp allows your users to convert fiat currency into crypto and send it to any wallet. Users can onramp by logging in with their Coinbase account or using Guest Checkout with a debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay (no Coinbase account required).
Will be deprecated on June 30, 2026: Guest Checkout (debit card, Apple Pay) via the Coinbase-hosted Onramp widget is being discontinued. Use the Headless Onramp API instead — you get access immediately after your app is approved.

How it works

Integration options

Coinbase-hosted Onramp

Easiest to integrate. Redirect users to a Coinbase-hosted page where they complete purchases.

  • Global for Coinbase users
  • No developer fees

Headless Onramp

Native in-app experience. Embed Apple Pay or Google Pay onramp directly in your iOS, Android, or web app.

Not sure which to choose? For Apple Pay or debit card flows, start with the Headless Onramp API — you get access immediately after your app is approved. Use Coinbase-hosted Onramp when you need the full Coinbase account login experience.
