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
CSS
JS
iFrame
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://dcams.app/v3/stable/style.css">
</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 Callback URL
You can do this programmatically by using the Create/Update Callback API method. Only one callback URL is allowed at a time. Therefore, using this method would allow you to change from your test endpoint to a production endpoint, for example.

Callback
Once a document is uploaded, the callback will fire. The callback will also fire on subsequent status updates. The email or reference values can be used to associate the upload on Veratad's side to a customer/order on your side.
You should always use the backend callback 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.
