Converting fiat settlements to stablecoins

After identifying that funds have arrived in your fiat wallet, you'll next need to convert the required amount into stablecoins (or any cryptocurrency you want to settle into). To do this we will be using the Create quote and Accept quote endpoints.

❗️

Most cryptocurrencies experience drastic volatility. We recommend using 1:1 collateralised stablecoins such as USDC as the value will maintain regardless of market volatility.

Start by creating a quote

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.sandbox.bvnk.com/api/v1/quote \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Authorization: Hawk id="B9jnE1U8eLblzHtNeJZRxfcq03CQKcmcP9FOrACMzXb1HfrxrePWsTfuP70JNns9", ts="1633010032", nonce="guGXrD", mac="uKeg+w1qXqzaF/8mOQGv8Y9IlRxyxTT+iINLe03EQ60="' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
     "merchantId": "93403",
     "from": "EUR",
     "to": "USDC",
     "payInMethod": "wallet",
     "payOutMethod": "wallet",
     "amountIn": 100
}
'

  },

}

Next, you simply accept the quote using the quote ID and the [Accept quote] (accept-quote) endpoint.

At this point, you have two options:

  1. Hold the stablecoins on the platform until your merchant requests to withdraw
  2. Immediately send the stablecoins to the merchant.
