Mesh provides a faster, safer, and more reliable way for users to move funds from exchanges and wallets directly into your platform. By replacing error-prone QR codes and manual address entry with a seamless, embedded flow, you can significantly increase conversion and user satisfaction. Key Advantages:
  • Fast and Easy: One-click payments and deposits from Binance, Coinbase, MetaMask, and 300+ other sources.
  • Error-Free: Prevents wrong addresses, wrong networks, and address poisoning scams.
  • Higher Conversion: Reduces user drop-off compared to manual flows.
  • Customer-Friendly: A familiar, secure connection process, similar to linking an account with Plaid or PayPal.

Placement Best Practices

How you present the Mesh option in your UI is critical for adoption.
  • Prioritize the Embedded Flow: Place the “Pay with Crypto” or “Deposit with Crypto” button prominently in your checkout or wallet UI, above any manual QR code options.
  • Use QR Codes as a Backup: Maintain the manual/QR code option as a secondary choice for users who prefer it.
  • Use Action-Oriented Labels: Highlight Mesh as the recommended option with labels like Smart Pay, Easy Deposit, or Instant Transfer.
  • Lead with Trusted Brands: Instead of “Pay with Mesh,” use the logos of top exchanges and wallets your users trust, like Binance, Coinbase, and MetaMask.

The User Journey: A Phased Approach

The goal is to move users from a simple first-time setup to a frictionless, one-click experience.

1. First-Time User Experience (Smart Pay / Smart Deposit)

For a new user connecting an account, the flow is simple and builds trust.
  • The user selects “Pay with Crypto” or “Deposit from Exchange/Wallet.”
  • Mesh securely authenticates their account once.
  • The user chooses an asset, previews the transaction, and confirms.
This is equivalent to adding a card to Apple Pay: a small, one-time setup that unlocks a seamless experience for all future use. 📸 Example (Payment Use Case): A “Pay with Crypto” button in a checkout flow.

2. Returning User Experience (Easy Pay / Easy Deposit)

This is where the power of Mesh becomes clear. Once an account is connected, returning users get a one-click experience.
  • You use the stored auth_token to initialize Mesh.
  • The user is taken directly to the confirmation screen, skipping the login steps.
  • You can create dedicated, personalized buttons like “Pay with your Binance account” or “Deposit from MetaMask.”

3. Power User Experience (Fast Pay / Fast Deposit)

For frequent users, you can create an even faster flow by pre-selecting the token and network.
  • The linkToken is configured with a single, pre-defined asset.
  • The user is taken directly into the transfer flow, bypassing all selection steps.
  • This is ideal for high-frequency use cases like iGaming platforms.

Key Feature for Payments: SmartFunding

For all use cases, enabling SmartFunding is the most effective way to maximize conversion.
  • What it is: SmartFunding allows users to complete a payment even if they don’t have enough of the required token by auto-converting their other assets in the background.
  • Why it’s critical for payments: It prevents transaction failures due to insufficient funds of a specific asset, turning a potential “failed payment” into a successful one.

Technical Integration Tips

  • Token Management: Always store and refresh the user’s auth_token to enable the “Easy Pay/Deposit” return user experience.
  • **Use **integrationIds: Deep-link directly to specific providers (e.g., Binance, Coinbase) to create shortcuts in your UI.
  • Support Multi-Asset Arrays: In your linkToken request, pass an array of all the tokens/networks you support to give users maximum flexibility.
