Workflows Overview

Integrating with Abroad typically involves a three-step process: Quote, Accept, and Pay.

The Lifecycle of a Transaction

1. Create a Quote: You ask Abroad for an exchange rate and fees for a specific amount and currency pair.
2. Accept the Transaction: If the user accepts the quote, you create a transaction. This locks the rate and generates a unique reference.
3. Send Funds: You (or the user) send the source funds (e.g., USDC) to Abroad's wallet, including the unique reference in the memo/note.
4. Payout: Once Abroad detects the incoming funds, we automatically process the payout to the target account.
