Add a Bank Using Dwolla.js + IAV #

For Dwolla API customers, dwolla.js has the added function of facilitating Instant Account Verification (IAV) on their customer's bank or credit union account. This resource guide will walk you through the process of generating an IAV token, and rendering the IAV flow to attach a verified bank funding-source to a Customer account. By calling a separate function dwolla.iav.start(), your application can render the IAV flow within a specified container. dwolla.iav.start() allows for customization through configurable options such as:

  • stylesheets - a list of CSS stylesheets for styling the IAV flow
  • microDeposits - presents a selection screen for the user to choose the micro-deposit method of bank verification throughout the IAV flow
  • fallbackToMicroDeposits - presents a selection screen for the user to fallback to selecting the micro-deposit method of bank verification within the IAV flow
  • backButton - displays a back button throughout the IAV flow
  • subscriber - a function that can be used by an application to subscribe to state changes throughout the IAV flow

dwolla.iav.start()

ParameterTypeValueiav-tokenstringA single use IAV token generated on your server.optionsobjectAn object containing configurable options. Contains keys: container, stylesheets, microDeposits, fallbackToMicroDeposits, backButton, and subscriber. See example below.
container represents a string value container element where IAV will render.
stylesheets represents an array list of stylesheets to load IAV styles.
microDeposits represents a boolean true or false value which determines if the micro-deposit method of bank verification is presented as an option throughout the IAV flow.
fallbackToMicroDeposits represents a boolean true or false value which determines if a fallback selection screen appears for choosing an alternative bank verification method.
backButton represents a boolean true or false value which determines if a back button is displayed throughout the IAV flow.
subscriber is a function that can be used to subscribe to state changes throughout the IAV flow. This function will be called with an object containing a currentPage and an optional error attribute.callbackfunctionA callback function that handles the response from Dwolla.

Example

javascript
dwolla.iav.start(
  "8zN400zyPUobbdmeNfhTGH2Jh5JkFREJa9YBI8SLXp0ERXNTMT",
  {
    container: "iavContainer",
    stylesheets: [
      "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato&subset=latin,latin-ext",
    ],
    microDeposits: false,
    fallbackToMicroDeposits: true,
    backButton: true,
    subscriber: ({ currentPage, error }) => {
      console.log("currentPage:", currentPage, "error:", JSON.stringify(error));
    },
  },
  function (err, res) {
    console.log(
      "Error: " + JSON.stringify(err) + " -- Response: " + JSON.stringify(res)
    );
  }
);
