Countries & Currencies

Countries & payment methods

The Config API endpoint returns the current countries (states) supported by Coinbase Onramp and the payment methods available in each region. Clients can call this API periodically and cache the response so that they know which users to serve Onramp. Today, Coinbase operates in 90+ countries and this gets updated as we grow! See FAQ for an overview.

There are two ways to get the config:

1. Use the fetchOnrampConfig util to get the config
2. Make a direct call to the API
