💳Fiat Onramp
In this section, you’ll understand how Fiat Onramp works in PayRam, the supported methods, and what merchants need to enable them.
Fiat Onramp allows merchants to accept customer payments in fiat currency while receiving settlements in crypto through PayRam. It removes the need for external exchanges or manual conversions, letting businesses expand their customer base and simplify checkout experiences.
Why it Matters
Lets merchants reach customers who prefer paying in fiat.
Enables seamless acceptance of cards, wallets, bank transfer, and local payment methods.
Automatically settles payments in crypto, keeps all settlements non-custodial.
Reduces conversion friction and simplifies operations.
Supported onramp methods
Third-party Onramp Partners
This method connects merchants to regulated fiat-to-crypto providers, enabling customers to complete transactions using familiar fiat payment options like card, bank transfer, and more.
How it works for merchants
To enable the onramp feature in PayRam, merchants must first complete KYB with the onramp partner.
After KYB approval, the merchant needs to add the API key provided by the onramp partner into the PayRam dashboard.
PayRam will auto-detect the integration and update the available checkout options without any extra configuration.
Commercials and fees
PayRam does not apply any additional fees or markups on onramp transactions.
All onramp related commercials are directly between the merchant and the onramp provider.
Checkout experience
All onramp transaction amounts are directly deposited into the merchant’s deposit wallet (unique address created for each customer).
Supported partners
PayRam currently integrates with TransFi, more onramp partners will be arriving soon!
TransFi supports 100+ countries and 40+ fiat currencies, allowing global customers to purchase crypto seamlessly.
PayRam Payments App [Coming soon]
This method will allow merchants to accept fiat payments through PayRam’s integrated payments layer, offering a faster setup and a smoother customer experience.
How it works for merchants:
Merchants do not need to complete KYC/KYB to enable this Onramp method.
Activation will be available directly inside the PayRam Dashboard once the feature goes live.
Merchants will have the option to sponsor gas fees for customers, reducing friction and improving conversion.
How it works for customers:
Customers will still be required to complete KYC verification once before making a purchase.
After verification, customers can pay using supported fiat methods with minimal steps.

Managing Onramp Access for Individual Projects
If you run multiple projects under a single PayRam account, you can control onramp access at the project level. This allows you to enable or disable onramp independently for each project after activating the onramp API.
How Project-Level Onramp Management Works
Once the Onramp API is activated:
Onramp is enabled by default for all projects
You must manually disable it for any project where you do not want to offer onramp
