Wyre Checkout

What is Wyre Checkout?

Wyre allows you to present your customers with a straightforward way to purchase cryptocurrency through our Hosted Checkout. Checkout can be instantiated through a redirect to our widget (Hosted Redirect) for your user to complete the transaction or by opening a dialog (Browser Dialog) and loading Wyre Checkout on your website.

You can pass in certain Parameters to pre-fill information on behalf of the user such as a wallet address or a purchase amount to help expedite the transaction. Once the purchase is complete, you can redirect the user back to your website or app.

Fee Notice

As a partner of Wyre, you can add your own fee on-top of Wyre's to generate revenue for your business. This should be discussed with your Wyre Sales Representative during the time of contract creation and signing.

Yearly: $20,000
InternationalDaily: $1,000

Preparation

Before attempting to integrate, you'll need to create an account in Wyre's testing environment. Head on over to testwyre.com to create it to start this process. You may enter dummy information for all required fields, including email, password, address, name, etc. Some validation is still active so single-letter names and bogus addresses may still be rejected. You may upload any image for document upload prompts. When using a production account, you'll need to pass in real KYC information.

After a short time, your account should automatically transition to APPROVED. (If it does not, please contact support) Once this happens, return to the widget to see you now have access to fund your account!

Payment Methods - Debit Cards

There are two ways to provide debit card payments for users using the widget. You have the option of providing users with Apple Pay**, Debit Card.
