Overview
Virtual Accounts sit alongside Iron's broader stablecoin payments suite — but they're just one piece of what Iron offers. This article gives partners a one-page tour of the rest.
Each Iron product is API-first, deployable in days, and backed by MoonPay's licensing footprint across 100+ countries. For full technical detail on any product, see Iron's developer docs at docs.iron.xyz.

Integration models
Iron offers three ways to integrate, depending on how deep you want to go:
API — clean, well-documented REST APIs with a full sandbox
Widgets — pre-built UI flows for Virtual Accounts, ramps, KYC, and checkout
Dashboard — manage payments, customers, and onchain transactions without writing code
You can mix and match. Most partners start with the dashboard and widgets, then layer in API integration as their needs grow.
