Overview

The Payment Method resource represents the different kinds of payment methods that can be used when buying and selling any Coinbase supported asset.

Deposit Limits

If the user the has optional wallet:payment-methods:limits permission, the limits field is embedded into payment method data. It contains information about buy, instant buy, sell, and deposit limits (there are no limits for withdrawals at this time).

As each one of these can have several limits, you should always look for the lowest remaining value when performing the relevant action.
