Start with the flow you are building

Each path lands on a complete implementation guide, not a product overview.

Add the hosted widget

Recommended production path

Keep the secret on your server. Trust the webhook.

The browser opens the hosted verification UI. Your server creates the session with a secret key and receives the signed result. Access, fulfillment, and account changes wait for that server-side event.
