iFrame

With this iFrame guide, we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to get up and running with DCAMS. The iFrame is built to allow you to scan, review and store identity documents.

What are the steps for getting set up?

1. Create Token

In order for the document scan/upload process to work you must submit a token within the parameters of the veratadModal.

veratadModal = new veratad.modal({
token: "8dfe0180-5389-46d4-a28c-b74061d8e7c3",
});

To get a token you must make an API call with your Veratad username and password. See link below for more details.

Tokens are only valid for 6 hours. It is recommended that you get a new token on each iFrame build.

2. Include CSS, JS and iFrame

</head>

<script src="https://dcams.app/v3/stable/initialize.js"></script>

<iframe allow="camera" style="display:none;" id="veratad-frame" scrolling="no"></iframe>

3. Set-up a Webhook URL

Use the admin to set your endpoint, authentication and see IP addresses..

Webhook

Once a customer's status changes then the webhook will be invoked. The email additional_data or reference values can be used to associate the journey on Veratad's side to a customer/order on your side.

You should always use the backend webhook POST to get the official status of the customer/order. The frontend callback in the JS should only be used to message and route your customer on the frontend.

Example

POST {The URL you setup}
