Create Order

post https://api.banxa.com/api/orders

Allows your customer to create a buy or sell crypto order with Banxa. Upon success, the response will contain a checkout URL which will be unique for the order. The customer will be redirected to this URL to complete the checkout process, which will expire after 1 minute if a redirect does not occur.

Building a Request for Buy Orders (On-Ramp)

Buy orders require the following mandatory fields:

  • account_reference: the customer's unique ID
  • source: a supported fiat currency e.g. USD
  • target: a supported cryptocurrency e.g. BTC
  • wallet_address: the address associated with the cryptocurrency being purchased
  • return_url_on_success: used to return the customer to your website once the order is completed

Building a Request for Sell Orders (Off-Ramp)

Sell orders require the following mandatory fields:

  • account_reference: the customer's unique ID
  • source: similar to a Buy order, this parameter is now a supported cryptocurrency instead of fiat currency
  • target: supported fiat currency
  • refund_address: the address associated with the cryptocurrency being sold in the event that a refund is necessary
  • return_url_on_success: used to return the customer to your website once the order is completed
