quoteCountryCodeThis query parameter enables partners to request a quote based on the user's KYC region. Without this, quotes may differ due to regional variations in pricing.
Why is this Important?
- Ensures consistency between quotes from the Get Price API and the Transak Widget.
- Provides more accurate, region-specific pricing information.

Usage Scenarios
Scenario 1: When userData query params are used to share the KYC information**
userData query params are used to share the KYC information**When the user's KYC information is passed using the userData and the user's country is known, then the quoteCountryCode query param can be passed to match the user's country code.
Example: If the user's KYC country is France, quoteCountryCode can be set to FR.
Scenario 2: User KYC country is unknown or userData query params are not used**
userData query params are not used**If the partner does not have the user's KYC country information, then the quoteCountryCode can be passed based on the user's IP address.
Example: If the user is located in Italy , then the quoteCountryCode can be set to IT based on the user's IP.
