# Crypto deposits integration guide

You can receive crypto deposits from your customers with and without automatic conversion. Deposits with conversion are automatically converted to your preferred currency.

## Set up crypto deposits

<Steps>
  <Step title="Complete your onboarding">
    Complete your onboarding in your merchant dashboard and generate an API key. For more details on how to create an API key, see [Get your API key](/merchant-administration/generate-and-activate-api-keys).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request and receive a unique deposit address">
    Send a request to [/addresses/take](/api-reference/endpoints/addresses-take) and get a crypto deposit address. You can reuse an address if the same customer is making another deposit in the same currency. We recommend using one address for each user.

    ```json title="Request example" theme={null}
    {
      "currency": "BTC",
      "convert_to": "EUR",
      "foreign_id": "user_12345",
      "end_user_reference": "user_12345",
      "sender_type": "legal",
      "sender_data": {
        "legal_name": "Example GmbH",
        "country_of_registration": "DEU"
      }
    }
    ```

    ```json title="Response example" theme={null}
    {
      "data": {
        "id": 240407212,
        "currency": "BTC",
        "convert_to": "EUR",
        "address": "tb1qezlewt2mx36azu5qyx9yff7565z0u9p94vn2ha",
        "tag": null,
        "foreign_id": "user_12345",
        "end_user_reference": "user_12345"
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Display the address to the customer">
    Your customer will see their deposit address in your [payment form](/deposits/design-payment-form).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process the deposit">
    Once your customer makes the deposit, CryptoProcessing will send you a callback. You will then need to update your customer's balance on your site.
  </Step>
