KYB Collection Flow

Web SDK Flows

Description

Web SDK Flows can generate custom made, branded flows to collect KYC/KYB documents and user information. The SDK UI is embeddable inside existing apps or deployed as an webapp.

Why you should use Ballerine’s flows:

Pre-made KYC/KYB templates.
Customizable UI and flow to fit your desired experience and brand.
Ability to use different vendors in the backend over the same flow with.
Multi platform support (Desktop, mobile web, mobile native).
All camera and different devices edge cases covered and tested.
Small and fast, built with Svelte (less than 50kb gzipped).

Live examples: KYC 1, KYC 2, KYB

Flows API

Config Parameter	Type	Description
`uiConfig`	FlowsUIConfig	Initializing flows, preloading needed assets and ui packs
`endUserInfo`	EndUserInfo	Use data like ID, name etc..
`backendConfig`	FlowsBackendConfig	Backend endpoint the flows should interact with
`translations`	FlowsTranslations	Change the config after init function

Embedded Flows

CDN: Add this code to your index.html header

// 1. Add script (see installation)
// 2. Initialize SDK & flows (see configuration)
BallerineSDK.flows.init({...}).then(() => {
	console.log('flows ready');
	// 3. Mount selected flow on an element
	BallerineSDK.flows.mount('my-kyc-flow', 'flow-host-element', {});
});
// 4. Listen to finish event (see events)
BallerineSDK.flows.on('finish', doSomethingFn)

example folder

Package Manager:

import { flows as ballerineFlows } from '@ballerine/web-ui-sdk';

await ballerineFlows.init({...}).then(() => console.log('flows ready'));
// 3. Mount selected flow on an element
ballerineFlows.mount('my-kyc-flow', 'flow-host-element', {});
// 4. Listen to finish event (see events)
ballerineFlows.on('finish', doSomethingFn)

  		BallerineSDK.flows.mount('my-kyc-flow', 'flow-host-element', {});
  	});

Native Mobile apps

The approach to native apps are all the native functionalities happens inside Ballerine native sdks (Android, iOS) while and the representation layer is still an web app (inside a native webview).

This way we can enjoy both worlds:

Web UI: Flexible UI that can be changes instantly from the server (no app deployments or store submissions).
Native API’s: Native camera, deep behavioral analysis, ekyc and more..

See Android and iOS repositories for guidance:

Android SDK | iOS SDK
