Understanding Reown's Onramp Feature

The most common reason a new user abandons a Web3 app is not because they dislike the product. It is because they cannot figure out how to get funds into it.

Even experienced crypto users have experienced this: you open a new app, your wallet is empty or the token you have is on the wrong chain. The next step is not obvious: leave the app, find an exchange, buy the token, wait for the transaction to clear, return to the app, and try again. That’s simply to complicated. You’re just asking your users to close the tab.

In-app onramps solve this. That’s why Reown’s Onramp feature offers this to all apps on all plans, making it a simple but powerful feature.

What is the Reown Onramp Feature?

Reown's Onramp feature offers seamless fiat-to-crypto purchasing. This means app developers can embed a native on-ramp experience directly inside their product; letting users can buy cryptocurrency with their local payment method without leaving the app.

Essentially, the onramp feature unlocks a simple way to allow your users to buy crypto in-app. Developers only need to integrate the Reown SDK once and immediately get access to seamless and affordable on-ramps directly in their app.

Why is Reown Onramp Feature Important?

Wallet funding is the most common point of friction in onchain app onboarding — and the one that is most invisible to developers who already hold crypto.

Reown’s Onramp feature closes this gap at the infrastructure level, without asking developers to build or maintain the on-ramp experience themselves. The result is a smoother onboarding funnel, higher activation rates, and users who reach the core product faster.

Not only that, but with the Reown Analytics feature, you can understand exactly which users are onramping, where they are based and much more.

Who is Reown’s Onramp Feature For?

Consumer app developers

Apps targeting mainstream audiences face the starkest version of the funding problem. Reown Onramps gives users a path to fund their wallet using familiar payment methods.

DeFi and trading apps

DeFi users switch between chains and protocols frequently. Reown Onramps lets DeFi apps offer a direct funding path when a user lands on a new chain with an empty wallet.

Gaming apps

Blockchain games require users to hold specific tokens. Reown Onramps allows game developers to embed a "buy tokens" flow directly in the game UI.

Marketplaces and commerce apps

NFT marketplaces and creator monetisation platforms depend on users having funds ready to spend.

How Does Reown's Onramp Feature Work?

Reown Onramp Feature connects your app crypto onramp providers through the Reown SDK. When a user triggers the on-ramp flow:

  1. The on-ramp UI appears inside the app — no redirect to an external page.
  2. The user selects their preferred token or coin and payment method.
  3. They complete the purchase using a debit card, credit card, bank transfer, or other supported local payment method.
  4. The purchased crypto arrives in their connected wallet.

Reown handles the whole flow, without any extra external integrations needed.

Reown Onramps: Unlocking First-Session Activation

The single most important metric for any onchain app is whether a user reaches the core action in their first session. Reown Onramps removes the biggest obstacle between a user's first impression and their first meaningful interaction.

Combined with Reown's analytics dashboard, you can dive into the details of your onramps, including what percentage of users trigger the funding flow, how many complete it, and how funding status correlates with downstream retention.
