This guide walks you through the complete process of converting USD to Bitcoin and sending it to a Spark wallet using just-in-time (JIT) funding.

## Prerequisites

Before starting this guide, ensure you have:

* A Grid API account with valid authentication credentials
* Access to the Grid API endpoints (production or sandbox)
* A webhook endpoint configured to receive notifications
* A Spark wallet address where the Bitcoin will be delivered

## Overview

The on-ramp process consists of the following steps:

1. **Create a customer** via the API
2. **Create an external account** for the destination Spark wallet
3. **Create a quote** for the USD-to-BTC conversion with current exchange rate
4. **Fund the quote** using the provided payment instructions (JIT funding)
5. **Receive webhook notification** confirming Bitcoin delivery to the Spark wallet

## Step 1: Customer Onboarding

If your platform is a regulated financial institution that already has a KYC/KYB process in place, you can create a customer directly via the API. Unregulated platforms can onboard customers either through the hosted KYC/KYB link flow or by submitting customer data directly through the API — for `INDIVIDUAL` customers (KYC), personal information goes through `POST /customers`; for `BUSINESS` customers (KYB), you also register beneficial owners via `POST /beneficial-owners`.

      **Regulated platforms** have lighter KYC requirements since they handle compliance verification internally.
    </Check>

    The KYC/KYB flow allows you to onboard customers through direct API calls.

    Regulated financial institutions can:

    * **Direct API Onboarding**: Create customers directly via API calls with minimal verification
    * **Internal KYC/KYB**: Handle identity verification through your own compliance systems
    * **Reduced Documentation**: Only provide essential customer information required by your payment counterparty or service provider.
    * **Faster Onboarding**: Streamlined process for known, verified customers

    #### Creating Customers via Direct API

    For regulated platforms, you can create customers directly through the API without requiring external KYC verification:

    To register a new customer in the system, use the `POST /customers` endpoint:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/customers" \
      -H "Authorization: Basic $GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "platformCustomerId": "customer_12345",
        "customerType": "INDIVIDUAL",
        "fullName": "Jane Doe",
        "birthDate": "1992-03-25",
        "nationality": "US",
        "address": {
          "line1": "123 Pine Street",
          "city": "Seattle",
          "state": "WA",
          "postalCode": "98101",
          "country": "US"
        }
      }'
    ```

    The examples below show a more comprehensive set of data. Not all fields are strictly required by the API for customer creation itself, but become necessary based on currency and UMA provider requirements if using UMA.

    </Tabs>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Unregulated Platforms">
    <Note>
      **Unregulated platforms** rely on Grid to run KYC for individuals and KYB for businesses. You can onboard customers either through the **hosted KYC/KYB link flow** below, or by **submitting customer data directly through the API**. Both paths produce the same `kycStatus` transitions and emit the same `CUSTOMER.KYC_APPROVED` / `CUSTOMER.KYC_REJECTED` / `CUSTOMER.KYC_PENDING` (and `CUSTOMER.KYB_*` equivalents) webhooks.
    </Note>

    Either path works for unregulated platforms:

    * **Hosted flow**: Redirect customers to a Grid-hosted link (or embed the provider SDK) for identity verification. Best when you want Grid to handle the entire collection UX.
    * **Direct API onboarding**: Collect customer information in your own UI and submit it via the API. For `INDIVIDUAL` customers (KYC), personal information goes through `POST /customers`. For `BUSINESS` customers (KYB), you also register beneficial owners via `POST /beneficial-owners`. Submit for review with `POST /verifications`.

    ### Hosted KYC Link Flow

    The hosted KYC flow provides a secure, hosted interface where customers can complete their identity verification and onboarding process.

    The flow is two steps: create the customer with the information you have, then generate a hosted KYC link for that customer. The customer's `kycStatus` stays `PENDING` until they complete the hosted flow.

    #### 1. Create the customer

    Create the customer with `POST /customers`, supplying at least `customerType` and any fields you already have. See [Configuring Customers](/payouts-and-b2b/onboarding/configuring-customers) for the full list of optional pre-fill fields.

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/customers" \
      -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "customerType": "INDIVIDUAL",
        "platformCustomerId": "9f84e0c2a72c4fa",
        "region": "US",
        "currencies": ["USD", "USDC"],
        "email": "jane.doe@example.com",
        "fullName": "Jane Doe"
      }'
    ```

    Persist the returned `id` (the Grid customer ID) — you'll need it for the next step.

    #### 2. Generate a KYC link

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/customers/Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001/kyc-link" \
      -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
      -d '{
        "redirectUri": "https://yourapp.com/onboarding-complete"
      }'
    ```

    **Response:**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "kycUrl": "https://kyc.lightspark.com/onboard/abc123def456",
      "expiresAt": "2027-01-15T14:32:00Z",
      "provider": "SUMSUB",
      "token": "_act-sbx-jwt-eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
    }
    ```

    <Tip>
      The response always includes `kycUrl` for the hosted flow. For providers that support direct SDK integration (currently SUMSUB), a `token` is also returned — you can pass this to the provider's web SDK to embed verification in your own UI instead of redirecting. Both paths update the customer's `kycStatus` identically.
    </Tip>

    #### Complete KYC Process

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create the customer">
        Call `POST /customers` with `customerType` and any pre-fill fields you have. The returned `id` is the customer's Grid ID; their `kycStatus` is `PENDING` until verification completes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Generate the KYC link">
        Call `POST /customers/{customerId}/kyc-link`. Each call returns a fresh single-use `kycUrl` and `expiresAt`; previously-issued links remain single-use but aren't invalidated.

        <Note>
          The `redirectUri` you pass is embedded in the generated `kycUrl` and is used to automatically return the customer to your application after they complete verification.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Send the customer through verification">
        Redirect the customer to `kycUrl`, or — if you want to embed the flow directly — initialize the provider's SDK with the returned `token`.

        <Warning>
          The hosted URL is single-use and expires at `expiresAt`. If a customer needs to retry, call the endpoint again to generate a new link.
        </Warning>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Track the decision">
        Reaching your `redirectUri` only means the customer **finished the hosted flow** — not that they were approved. Wait for the final decision in one of two ways:

        * **Webhook (recommended):** Subscribe to `CUSTOMER.KYC_APPROVED` / `CUSTOMER.KYC_REJECTED` (and `CUSTOMER.KYB_APPROVED` / `CUSTOMER.KYB_REJECTED` for business customers) to be notified when the customer reaches a terminal status. `CUSTOMER.KYC_PENDING` (and the `KYB_PENDING` sibling) also fires when the customer is submitted for review — subscribe to it as well if you want to surface an "under review" state to the customer.
        * **Polling:** Call `GET /customers/{customerId}` and inspect `kycStatus`.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Handle completion">
        On `APPROVED`, the customer is ready to transact — proceed with account setup and unlock funding. On `REJECTED`, surface the appropriate next step (for example, regenerate the link or request manual review).
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Direct API Onboarding

    Prefer to collect identity information in your own UI and submit it to Grid yourself? Use the API directly instead of redirecting to a hosted link. The customer's `kycStatus` transitions the same way and you receive the same `CUSTOMER.KYC_APPROVED` / `CUSTOMER.KYC_REJECTED` / `CUSTOMER.KYC_PENDING` (and `CUSTOMER.KYB_*` equivalents) webhooks.

    The shape of the flow depends on the customer type:

    * **KYC (`INDIVIDUAL` customers)** — supply the customer's personal information through the customer endpoint. No beneficial owners are involved.
    * **KYB (`BUSINESS` customers)** — create the business customer, then register its beneficial owners, directors, and officers individually.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="KYC (individual)">
        <Steps>
          <Step title="Create the customer with personal information">
            Call `POST /customers` with `customerType: INDIVIDUAL` and the personal information collected from the customer (legal name, date of birth, address, nationality, etc.). The returned `id` is the customer's Grid ID; `kycStatus` starts at `PENDING`.

            ```bash theme={null}
            curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/customers" \
              -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
              -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

                  "country": "US"
                }
              }'
            ```
          </Step>

          <Step title="Upload supporting documents (if requested)">
            Some jurisdictions or currencies require an ID document or proof of address. Upload them with `POST /documents` using `multipart/form-data`, referencing the customer by `customerId`.

            ```bash theme={null}
            curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/documents" \
              -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
              -F "documentHolder=Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001" \
              -F "documentType=PASSPORT" \
              -F "documentNumber=A12345678" \
              -F "issuingAuthority=U.S. Department of State" \
              -F "country=US" \
              -F "file=@./passport.jpg"
            ```
          </Step>

          <Step title="Submit for verification">
            Call `POST /verifications` to submit the customer for review. The response includes a `verificationStatus`. If anything is missing, `verificationStatus` is `RESOLVE_ERRORS` and the `errors` array describes exactly what to collect before retrying.

            ```bash theme={null}
            curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/verifications" \
              -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \

      <Tab title="KYB (business)">
        When Grid runs KYB for a business customer, the following information and documents are collected before onboarding completes. Use this list to plan what to gather from the business — provide it via `POST /customers`, `POST /beneficial-owners`, and `POST /documents` (or through the hosted flow).

        #### Business identifying information

        * Entity full legal name
        * Doing Business As (DBA) name, if applicable
        * Physical address — the principal place of business, local office, or other physical location of the entity opening the account
        * Countries of operation
        * Identification number — U.S. taxpayer identification number, or, for a foreign business without one, alternative government-issued documentation certifying the existence of the business

        #### Ownership and control structure

        Collected for:

        * **One control person** — a single individual with significant responsibility to control, manage, or direct the legal entity, **and**
        * **All beneficial owners** — every individual who owns 25% or more of the legal entity, directly or indirectly.

        For every such individual, provide:

        * Full name
        * Date of birth
        * Address
        * Identification number, by residency:
          * **U.S. persons** — Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
          * **Non-U.S. persons** — one or more of: ITIN, passport number with country of issuance, alien identification card number, or another government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard

        #### Required documents

        * Company formation and existence documents. For example:
          * Certificate of incorporation
          * Articles of association
        * Proof of ownership and control structure. For example:
          * Corporate organization and ownership chart
          * Shareholder agreements
          * Operating agreements
          * Register of members
          * Certification of controlling person and beneficial owners
        * Proof of address, dated within the last 3 months. For example:
          * Utility bill
          * Bank statement
          * Lease agreement
          * Official correspondence
        * Tax ID or equivalent identifying-number documents

            ```
          </Step>

          <Step title="Upload supporting documents">
            Upload business documents (registration, articles of incorporation) and any documents required for individual beneficial owners with `POST /documents`. Reference the company by `customerId` and each owner by `beneficialOwnerId`.

            ```bash theme={null}
            curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/documents" \
              -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
              -F "documentHolder=BeneficialOwner:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-00000000abcd" \

              -F "country=US" \
              -F "file=@./owner-passport.jpg"
            ```
          </Step>

          <Step title="Submit for verification">
            Call `POST /verifications` to submit the business for review. The response includes a `verificationStatus`. If beneficial owners, fields, or documents are missing, `verificationStatus` is `RESOLVE_ERRORS` and the `errors` array tells you exactly what to collect — note that `resourceId` may point at either the customer or a specific beneficial owner.

            ```bash theme={null}
            curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/verifications" \
              -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
              -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
              -d '{

          <Step title="Track the decision">
            Track terminal `kycStatus` transitions via the `CUSTOMER.KYB_APPROVED` / `CUSTOMER.KYB_REJECTED` webhook (recommended) or by polling `GET /customers/{customerId}`. `CUSTOMER.KYB_PENDING` also fires when the business is submitted for review — subscribe to it if you want to surface an "under review" state. On `APPROVED`, unlock funding and money movement.

## Step 2: Create an External Account for the Destination Wallet

Register the customer's Spark wallet as an external account so it can be used as a quote destination.

### Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/customers/external-accounts" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "customerId": "Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001",
    "currency": "BTC",
    "accountInfo": {
      "accountType": "SPARK_WALLET",
      "address": "spark1pgssyuuuhnrrdjswal5c3s3rafw9w3y5dd4cjy3duxlf7hjzkp0rqx6dj6mrhu"
    }
  }'
```

### Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "ExternalAccount:b23dcbd6-dced-4ec4-b756-3c3a9ea3d456",
  "customerId": "Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001",
  "status": "ACTIVE",
  "currency": "BTC",
  "accountInfo": {

    "address": "spark1pgssyuuuhnrrdjswal5c3s3rafw9w3y5dd4cjy3duxlf7hjzkp0rqx6dj6mrhu"
  }
}
```

<Tip>
  External accounts can be reused across multiple quotes. Register once, then reference by ID.
</Tip>

## Step 3: Create a Quote for Fiat-to-Crypto Conversion

Create a quote to convert USD to Bitcoin and deliver it to the Spark wallet. The quote will provide the current exchange rate and payment instructions for funding.

### Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/quotes" \
  -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "source": {
      "sourceType": "REALTIME_FUNDING",
      "customerId": "Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001",
      "currency": "USD"
    },
    "destination": {
      "destinationType": "ACCOUNT",
      "accountId": "ExternalAccount:b23dcbd6-dced-4ec4-b756-3c3a9ea3d456"
    },
    "lockedCurrencySide": "SENDING",
    "lockedCurrencyAmount": 10000,
    "description": "On-ramp: Buy $100 of Bitcoin"
  }'
```

### Response

```json theme={null}

      }
    }
  ]
}
```

The quote shows:

* **Sending**: \$100.00 USD (including \$2.50 fee)
* **Receiving**: 0.00083333 BTC (83,333 satoshis)
* **Exchange rate**: 8.3333 sats per USD cent (\~\$120,000 per BTC)
* **Quote expires**: In 5 minutes
* **Payment instructions**: Bank account details and reference code for funding

<Warning>
  For JIT-funded quotes, do NOT call the `/quotes/{quoteId}/execute` endpoint.
  Simply fund using the payment instructions, and Grid will automatically
  execute the conversion upon receiving your payment. The execute endpoint is
  used for quotes with an internal account or pullable external account as the source.
</Warning>

***

## Step 4: Fund the Quote (Just-in-Time)

In production, you would initiate a real-time push payment (ACH, RTP, wire, etc.) to the bank account provided in `paymentInstructions`, making sure to include the exact reference code `RAMP-ABC123` in the transfer memo.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Sandbox (Simulated)">
    In Sandbox, you can simulate funding using the `/sandbox/send` endpoint:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST "https://api.lightspark.com/grid/2025-10-13/sandbox/send" \
      -u "$GRID_CLIENT_ID:$GRID_CLIENT_SECRET" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "quoteId": "Quote:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000006",
        "currencyCode": "USD"
      }'
    ```

    **Response:**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "id": "Transaction:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000025",

      "quoteId": "Quote:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000006"
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Production (Real Funding)">
    In production, your customer or platform would initiate a bank transfer to the provided account details, include the reference code `RAMP-ABC123` in the transfer memo, and wait for Grid to detect the incoming payment (typically 1-3 business days for ACH, instant for RTP/wire). You'll receive a webhook notification when Bitcoin is delivered to the Spark wallet.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  The reference code is critical for matching your payment to the quote. Always
  include it exactly as provided in the payment instructions.
</Tip>

***

## Step 5: Receive Completion Webhook

Once Grid receives your payment and completes the USD-to-BTC conversion and delivery, you'll receive a webhook notification:

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "Webhook:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000030",
  "type": "OUTGOING_PAYMENT.COMPLETED",

    "status": "COMPLETED",
    "type": "OUTGOING",
    "sentAmount": {
      "amount": 10000,
      "currency": {
        "code": "USD",
        "name": "United States Dollar",
        "symbol": "$",
        "decimals": 2
      }
    },
    "receivedAmount": {
      "amount": 83333,
      "currency": {
        "code": "BTC",
        "name": "Bitcoin",
        "symbol": "₿",
        "decimals": 8
      }
    },
    "customerId": "Customer:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000001",
    "settledAt": "2025-10-03T15:02:30Z",
    "createdAt": "2025-10-03T15:00:00Z",
    "description": "On-ramp: Buy $100 of Bitcoin",
    "exchangeRate": 8.3333,
    "quoteId": "Quote:019542f5-b3e7-1d02-0000-000000000006",
    "paymentInstructions": [
      {
        "instructionsNotes": "Include reference code in transfer memo",
        "accountOrWalletInfo": {
          "accountType": "US_ACCOUNT",
          "accountNumber": "1234567890",
          "routingNumber": "021000021",
          "bankName": "Chase Bank",
          "reference": "REF123456"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```
