Using the COINQVEST API
Accepting cryptocurrency payments using the COINQVEST API is fast, secure, and easy. After you've signed up and obtained your API key, all you need to do is create a checkout or blockchain deposit address on Bitcoin, Lightning, Litecoin, or Stellar to get paid.
Checkouts
There are two types of checkouts, hosted (by COINQVEST) and self-hosted (by you). Hosted checkouts live on COINQVEST servers and provide a fast, convenient, responsive, and easy user interface for your customers to complete payment. We built a great user experience (that can be fully branded) so you don't have to. Self-hosted checkouts live on your servers and give you full control over branding and the entire payment process but require more development work. Click here to learn more about building checkouts.
Wallets and Deposits
Your COINQVEST account comes equipped with dedicated deposit addresses for Bitcoin, Lightning, Litecoin, and select assets on the Stellar Network. You can receive blockchain payments within seconds after registering. The GET /wallets
and POST /deposit-address
endpoints return your blockchain addresses to start receiving custom deposits.
Swaps and Transfers
Once funds arrive in your account, either via completed checkouts or custom deposits, you have instant access to them and the ability to swap them into other assets or transfer them to other blockchain accounts (we recommend to always forward funds into self-custody on cold storage) and bank accounts. The POST /swap
and POST /withdrawal
endpoints will get you started on your first swaps and transfers.
Financial Reports and Accounting
We don't leave you hanging with an obscure and complicated blockchain payment trail to figure out by yourself. All transactions on COINQVEST are aggregated into the Financial Reports section of your account and can even be associated with counter-parties, such as customers and beneficiaries. We provide CSV reports, charts, and beautiful analytics for all your in-house accounting needs.
