Onboarding

Implement a pre-built user interface for onboarding individuals or businesses easily, even if they require verification.

With the moov-onboarding element, users can enter individual or business information to create an account, and Moov handles the verification process. The onboarding Drop takes care of the entire account creation workflow, with UX features to keep the information collection process as seamless as possible.

Visit our Drops 101 guide to learn the basics of properties, attributes, and initializing Drops.

Properties

Properties can be accessed through JavaScript using a reference to the moov-onboarding element.

Property	Type	Description
`token`	String	Auth Token used for hitting the API. See the `Scopes` section for more detail.
`facilitatorAccountID`	String	ID for the facilitator account. The account created through onboarding will be connected to this account.

`capabilities`	String[]	The capabilities requested by this account. Fields in the onboarding dialog will be marked as optional or required based on the requested capabilities.
`open`	Boolean	Whether or not the dialog is currently displayed to the user.
`onResourceCreated`	Function	Callback fired when the onboarding dialog creates a new resource (account, payment method, etc). Use this callback to update your token with the appropriate scopes before creating the next resource. See the Scopes section for more detail.
`onError`	Function	Callback fired when the onboarding dialog encounters an error.
`onCancel`	Function	Callback fired when the user attempts to close the dialog.
`onSuccess`	Function	Callback fired when the user completes the onboarding process.
`plaid`	Object	A Plaid configuration object. Used for setting up a payment method through Plaid.

const onboarding = document.querySelector('moov-onboarding');
onboarding.onError = ({ errorType, error }) => {
  console.log(errorType); // "account", "representative", "bankAccount", etc
  console.error(error); // Error message
};

Attributes

String-type properties can be set via attributes on the HTML <moov-onboarding> element.

Attribute	Description
`token`	Auth Token used for hitting the API. See the `Scopes` section for more detail.
`facilitator-account-id`	ID for the facilitator account. The account created through onboarding will be connected to this account.

Scopes

The moov-onboarding Drop requires different scopes at different steps in the onboarding process.

As users move through the onboarding flow, the Drop creates new resources (accounts, payment methods, etc), and it needs the appropriate permissions to read or modify those resources. The developer is responsible for updating the onboarding token with new scopes as resources are created.

Create a token with the following initial scopes:
- accounts.write
- accounts/{facilitatorAccountID}/profile.read
- fed.read
- profile-enrichment.read

Initialize the onboarding Drop with the token.

// Get `myToken` with initial scopes
onboarding.token = myToken;

The user enters information for their new account.

The onboarding Drop creates the account and fires the onResourceCreated callback.

onboarding.onResourceCreated = ({ resourceType, resource }) => {
  // This fires when the account is created
  console.log("Resource created! ", resource);
}

Get the account from the onResourceCreated callback:

onboarding.onResourceCreated = ({ resourceType, resource }) => {
  if (resourceType === "account") {
    // Save the account resource somewhere
  }
};

Use the account ID to create a new token and add the following scopes:
- All initial scopes
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/bank-accounts.read
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/bank-accounts.write
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/capabilities.read
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/capabilities.write
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/cards.read
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/cards.write
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/profile.read
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/profile.write
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/representatives.read
- /accounts/{newAccountID}/representatives.write

Update the onboarding Drop with the new token:

// Get `myToken2` with account-related scopes
onboarding.token = myToken2;

The user can now continue on to add payment methods to the account.
