Clear Pricing
No hidden fees. Ever.
typescript
const quote = await lumexpay.fx.getQuote({
from: 'USD',
to: 'EUR',
amount: 10000
});
console.log(quote);
// {
// exchangeRate: 0.92,
// fee: 0.5, // 0.5% transparent fee
// youSend: 10000,
// recipientGets: 9154,
// breakdown: {
// baseAmount: 9200,
// ourFee: 46, // Clearly shown
// totalCost: 10000
// }
// }Real-Time Status
Keep customers informed:
typescript
// Transaction tracking
const status = await lumexpay.transfers.track('tr_abc123');
// Returns detailed status
{
status: 'in_transit',
timeline: [
{ event: 'initiated', time: '2025-01-05T10:00:00Z' },
{ event: 'processing', time: '2025-01-05T10:00:05Z' },
{ event: 'sent_to_network', time: '2025-01-05T10:00:30Z' },
{ event: 'in_transit', time: '2025-01-05T10:01:00Z' }
