Introduction

Use Pulse to convert between naira and crypto without holding both sides. An onramp delivers crypto for naira. An offramp delivers naira for crypto.

Pulse gives you two ways to move money. Choose the one that matches how your customer pays.

	Orders	Collections
Use it when	The customer makes one payment at a time.	The customer pays in whenever they like.
You create	A quote, then an order, for each payment.	One collection for each customer, once.
The customer pays to	Payment details issued for that order.	Permanent deposit addresses.
Price	Locked by the quote.	The current rate when each deposit arrives.
Directions	Onramp and offramp.	Stablecoin to naira. Naira to stablecoin is coming soon.

Both ways produce orders. You track every order with the same webhooks and GET /v1/orders/{id}.

Orders

Each payment follows the same sequence. An offramp adds an account resolution call before the quote, so the customer can confirm the registered name.

Get a quote. The rate remains valid for two minutes.
Create an onramp or offramp order from the quote. The response contains the customer's payment instructions.
Track the order until it reaches completed, expired, or failed.

You set up each customer once. Every deposit after that becomes an offramp order on its own.

Add a payout account for the naira.
Create a collection for the customer, and show them its deposit addresses.
Track deposits. Each deposit reaches completed, or held when Pulse cannot process it.
