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.
Triggers when the modal is first opened on the page or with the open() method
onClose()
Triggers when the modal is closed by the user or with the close() method
onSuccess()
The document was successfully scanned or successfully uploaded if DCAMS+ is not active
onFailure()
The document failed the scan process or was not uploaded successfully if DCAMS+ is not active
onEmail()
The user has requested that they get an email with a link to scan.
onQr()
The user pushed the "done" button after QR scanning.
onError()
A general processing error occurred during the scan or upload process.
onErrorToken()
An invalid token was supplied
onErrorPending()
The user's document is currently in a PENDING state and they cannot submit a new document
onErrorAlreadyVerified()
The user is in a PASS state already
onErrorVelocity()
The user has already processed 3 attempts within a 24 hour period

That said, If you do not customize these messages then your users that get an email link sent to them will see the defaults on the page.
The user has passed verification or successfully uploaded if DCAMS+ is not active, but storage is active.

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.
