Initial Setup
This section will show you how to setup your automated threshold, customize the verification flow, and retrieve your API keys
To get the most out of Passbase, you should setup your automated thresholds in the
Settings > Automation
section of the developer dashboard. The thresholds will determine whether your Users' Verifications are automatically accepted, declined, or require manual review based on the documents provided. The suggested configuration for most use cases is 70% - 85% as shown below:

The Automatic Thresholds are project specific and require enablement for each individual project.
The Passbase integration supports a set of customization options which will influence the appearance of the button and verification flow modal. Customize the verification button and flow in the developer dashboard's customization section.
Here you can choose amongst a variety of colors, fonts, accepted countries & much more.

All customizations are project specific and require enablement for each individual project.
Add additional checks to your verification flow in the
Customization > Additional Checks
section of the dashboard. All additional checks will be added as an extra step in the verification flow. You can easily review and adjust the flow in the customization tool.

In order for your application to communicate with Passbase, you have to register on our dashboard and retrieve your API keys from
Settings > API Keys
as shown below.
Here you will find your publishable API key, used for client-side SDKs, and your secret API key, used to retrieve the personal data of your customers from Passbase identities API. You'll be using your publishable key for most of this documentation.
Key Type | Description |
Publishable | The API key you will use to integrate the Passbase client-side SDKs in your application (e.g. the iOS, Android or Web). |
Secret | The API key you will use to retrieve your customers' Data points and/or Resources to manage your Passbase company profile programmatically. |
Be very careful with the Secret API key. Never share it or send it through unencrypted communication methods!
