Offramp - Sell Cryptocurrency

Convert cryptocurrency to fiat currency in your virtual account.

What is OFFRAMP?

OFFRAMP allows you to sell cryptocurrency and receive fiat funds in your virtual account.

Use cases:

Convert crypto holdings to fiat
Realize crypto gains
Prepare fiat for operations
Accept crypto payments and convert to fiat

Deals vs Orders

Important: OFFRAMP operations use the /deals endpoint, not /orders. A deal represents the intent to sell crypto and must be paid completely (no partial payments). The deal creates orders that execute the sale.

Key differences from ONRAMP:

Deal: The crypto sale intent (must be funded completely)
Order: The actual execution of the sale (created automatically by the deal)
No partial payments: OFFRAMP deals must be paid in full, unlike ONRAMP
Destination: Deals only need the destination virtual account

Quick Example


// Sell 10 USDC for COP
 
// 1. Get quote (network required!)
const quote = await axios.post(
  `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/quotes`,
  {
    type: 'OFFRAMP',
    originCurrencySymbol: 'USDC',
    destinationCurrencySymbol: 'COP',
    amountIn: 10,  // 10 USDC
    network: 'ETHEREUM'  // Required for crypto quotes
  },
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
);
 
console.log('Will receive:', quote.data.amountOut, 'COP'); // e.g., 39,500 COP
console.log('Quote valid for:', quote.data.validFor || '10-15', 'seconds');
 
// 2. Create deal (not order!)
const deal = await axios.post(
  `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/deals`,
  {
    destinationAccountId: 'va_cop_12345',  // Your COP virtual account
    quoteId: quote.data.id
  },
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
);
 
console.log('Deal created:', deal.data.id);
console.log('Deal must be paid completely');
// Funds will be credited to COP virtual account after confirmation

Complete Payment Required: Unlike ONRAMP, OFFRAMP deals must be funded completely. Partial payments are not supported.

Step-by-Step Integration

Step 1: Get Quote


const quote = await axios.post(
  `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/quotes`,
  {
    type: 'OFFRAMP',
    originCurrencySymbol: 'USDC',
    destinationCurrencySymbol: 'COP',
    amountIn: 10,
    network: 'ETHEREUM'  // Required for crypto quotes
  },
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
);
 
// Display to user
console.log('Selling:', quote.data.amountIn, 'USDC');
console.log('Will receive:', quote.data.amountOut, 'COP');
console.log('Exchange rate:', quote.data.exchangeRate);
console.log('Fee:', quote.data.koyweFee, 'COP');
console.log('Quote expires in:', quote.data.validFor || '10-15', 'seconds');

Step 2: Create Deal


const deal = await axios.post(
  `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/deals`,
  {
    type: 'OFFRAMP',
    destinationAccountId: 'va_cop_12345',  // Only need destination virtual account
    quoteId: quote.data.id,
    externalId: `offramp-${Date.now()}`
  },
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
);
 
console.log('Deal created:', deal.data.id);
console.log('Status:', deal.data.status); // "PENDING"
console.log('Deposit address:', deal.data.depositAddress); // Where to send crypto

Simplified Request: Deals only need the destinationAccountId (virtual account) and quoteId. The crypto amount and currencies are already defined in the quote.

Step 3: Send Cryptocurrency

After creating the deal, send the cryptocurrency to the provided deposit address:


const dealDetails = await axios.get(
  `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/deals/${deal.data.id}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
);
 
console.log('Send crypto to:', dealDetails.data.depositAddress);
console.log('Amount to send:', dealDetails.data.amountIn, dealDetails.data.originCurrencySymbol);
console.log('Network:', dealDetails.data.network);
console.log('Must send complete amount - partial payments not allowed');

Step 4: Wait for Confirmation


app.post('/webhooks/koywe', (req, res) => {
  const event = JSON.parse(req.body);
  
  if (event.type === 'order.paid' && event.data.type === 'OFFRAMP') {
    console.log('Crypto received and confirmed!');
  }
  
  if (event.type === 'order.completed' && event.data.type === 'OFFRAMP') {
    console.log('Fiat credited to virtual account!');
    console.log('Amount:', event.data.amountOut, event.data.destinationCurrencySymbol);
  }
  
  res.status(200).send('OK');
});

Order Flow

Complete Example


async function sellUSDC(amount) {
  try {
    const token = await authenticate();
    
    // 1. Get quote
    const quote = await axios.post(
      `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/quotes`,
      {
        type: 'OFFRAMP',
        originCurrencySymbol: 'USDC',
        destinationCurrencySymbol: 'COP',
        amountIn: amount
      },
      { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
    );
    
    console.log(`Selling ${amount} USDC for ${quote.data.amountOut} COP`);
    console.log(`Rate: 1 USDC = ${quote.data.exchangeRate} COP`);
    
    // 2. Create offramp order
    const order = await axios.post(
      `https://api-sandbox.koywe.com/api/v1/organizations/${orgId}/merchants/${merchantId}/orders`,
      {
        type: 'OFFRAMP',
        originCurrencySymbol: 'USDC',
        destinationCurrencySymbol: 'COP',
        amountIn: amount,
        quoteId: quote.data.id
      },
      { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` } }
    );
    
    console.log('✓ Offramp order created:', order.data.id);
    console.log('📍 Send USDC to:', order.data.depositAddress);
    console.log('💰 Amount:', order.data.amountIn, 'USDC');
    console.log('🌐 Network:', order.data.network || 'Ethereum');
    
    return {
      orderId: order.data.id,
      depositAddress: order.data.depositAddress,
      amount: order.data.amountIn,
      currency: order.data.originCurrencySymbol
    };
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.response?.data || error.message);
    throw error;
  }
}
 
// Usage
const offramp = await sellUSDC(10);
console.log('Send your USDC to the deposit address above');

Important Notes

Blockchain Confirmations: OFFRAMP orders require blockchain confirmations. Settlement time varies by network:

Ethereum: 12-15 minutes (12 confirmations)
Polygon: 2-5 minutes (128 confirmations)
BSC: 3-5 minutes (15 confirmations)
Bitcoin: 30-60 minutes (3 confirmations)

One-time Address: Each OFFRAMP order generates a unique deposit address. Don’t reuse addresses from previous orders.
