MoonPay maintains regulatory licenses (New York BitLicense, EU MiCA, 47 US state money transmit licenses) and PCI DSS 4.0.1, acting as merchant of record to simplify partner integrations.

The rollout starts in 100+ countries, including the US and the EU, with broader reach planned to 160 countries.

There is rising demand from wallets, exchanges, and crypto apps for embedded checkout flows that keep users within their platforms.

MoonPay cites conversion improvements: about 80% of started buys and 83% of started sells complete, aided by stored data, reusable KYC, and intelligent routing that reduces redirects and preserves context.

Headless onramps are positioned to reduce user friction versus traditional hosted onramps, potentially reshaping crypto onboarding and increasing competition with Stripe Crypto and Coinbase Onramp.

Headless Onramps deliver a fully embedded, white-labeled checkout via API, while MoonPay manages payment rails, compliance, and identity verification in the background.

MoonPay launches Headless Onramps, enabling one-tap purchases via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards with a zero-redirect flow across iOS, Android, and the web.

The Headless Onramps platform embeds compliance, fraud checks, and payment processing inside secure frames within the host app, preserving a native UI and the brand experience.

Editorial oversight is provided with disclosure about content editing.

MoonPay’s broader ramps platform serves 500+ business customers, with recent moves including the 2025 Helio acquisition for Solana Pay rails, the 2026 MoonPay Agents launch for AI agent transactions, and a Solana Accelerate reveal for a Solana-specific headless Apple Pay variant.

Headless architecture keeps the user inside the host app while MoonPay handles the backend tasks, enabling a seamless, embedded checkout.

This approach replaces MoonPay’s older hosted onramp widget, allowing partners to maintain their own brand and UX.
