Quotation Rate Locking (Payout)
What is locked
A quotation locks, until expiration:
- the effective FX rate used for the quote
- the fees returned in the quotation
- the computed total amounts (source/destination)
Expiration
- The quotation includes an
expiration_date. - After expiration, you must create a new quotation.
- Transactions created after expiration are not guaranteed to use previous rates/fees.
Example
{ "expiration_date": "2025-12-22T13:56:04.000Z", "status": "ONHOLD"}Best Practices
- Treat quotations as short-lived objects.
- Create the transaction soon after the user confirms.
- Surface the time remaining to the user.
