Designed Rampnow's widget for buying and selling crypto

Rampnow runs it at app.rampnow.io, and partners like thirdweb and Meld embed it in their own products, so every improvement reaches both.

Fees used to show up at the end, and people had few ways to pay. Amount, token, payment method and wallet now sit together, with the rate visible before you continue, and local methods like SEPA and iDEAL, plus Apple Pay, are one tap away.

I considered a step-by-step flow: amount, then token, then payment. I chose one screen, so the rate and the fee stay in view the whole time.

Slow verification came up often in interviews and reviews. Sign in with an email and a one-time code, start with basic details, and an ID check with Sumsub unlocks higher limits only when you need them. If an order goes over your limit, the widget offers to verify now or lower the amount.

I considered asking for ID up front. I chose basic details first, because a first order shouldn't wait on documents.

The summary lists the fee, the route and what you'll receive, and a short video walks first-timers through bank transfers.

People told us a failed payment was a dead end. Now you can try again or switch method without rebuilding the order.

I considered sending people back to the start with their order saved. I chose to keep them on the order, so a declined card costs a tap, not a new order.

Crypto can take minutes to arrive, and not knowing where it is makes people worry. Every order shows each step from payment to delivery, including orders that cross chains, and keeps its receipt and a way to raise a ticket.

Selling is the riskier direction: once crypto is sent, it can't be pulled back. Pick what to sell, scan a QR code or connect your wallet, and add a refund address before you send. Once the deposit is confirmed, the money goes to your bank.

Deposits sometimes don't show up. You can claim a missing deposit with its transaction hash, or request a refund to the address you added before sending.
