Introduction to Coinbase Onramp

Coinbase Onramp is a set of APIs, an SDK, and a UI widget that developers can integrate in their wallet or dapp. Onramp lets your users add funds to their wallet by signing-in to their Coinbase account and using their existing crypto balances or saved payment methods.

These docs describe how developers can integrate the Coinbase Onramp APIs to generate a URL and trigger the Coinbase Onramp experience for their users.
