@bipdelivery/core

Core SDK package with UI-agnostic KYC (Know Your Customer) functions. Use this package if you want to build your own UI while leveraging Paytesy's verification services.

Installation

pnpm add @bipdelivery/core

Usage

Initialization

import { createKYCClient } from '@bipdelivery/core';

const kyc = createKYCClient({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000', // Your KYC API base URL
});

Creating a Verification Token

Before starting verification, create a token for secure API access:

const { token, expiresIn } = await kyc.createVerificationToken(
  'user-123', // externalId
  '3' // expiry in hours (optional, default: 3)
);

Starting a Verification

const session = await kyc.startVerification({
  documentType: 'IDENTITY_CARD', // or 'DRIVING_LICENSE'
  country: 'MZ', // Country code: MZ, AO, PT, etc.
  identityId: 'optional-existing-identity-id', // optional
  externalId: 'optional-external-ref', // optional
});

console.log(session.verificationId);
console.log(session.status); // 'PENDING'

Uploading Documents

After starting verification, upload front and back of the document:

// Upload front of document
const frontResult = await kyc.uploadDocument({
  verificationId: session.verificationId,
  type: 'front',
  imageData: 'base64-encoded-image-data',
});

// Upload back of document
const backResult = await kyc.uploadDocument({
  verificationId: session.verificationId,
  type: 'back',
  imageData: 'base64-encoded-image-data',
});

Uploading Selfie

const selfieResult = await kyc.uploadSelfie({
  verificationId: session.verificationId,
  imageData: 'base64-encoded-selfie-image',
});

Checking Status

// Get current status
const status = await kyc.getStatus(session.verificationId);
console.log(status.status); // 'PENDING' | 'PROCESSING' | 'APPROVED' | 'REJECTED'
console.log(status.ocrData); // Extracted document data
console.log(status.faceMatchScore); // Face match similarity (0-1)

// Poll until completion
const finalStatus = await kyc.pollStatus(
  session.verificationId,
  3000, // poll interval in ms (optional, default: 3000)
  120000 // timeout in ms (optional, default: 120000)
);

Listening to Events

// Subscribe to status changes
const unsubscribe = kyc.onEvent((event) => {
  if (event.type === 'statusChanged') {
    console.log('Status changed to:', event.status);
  } else if (event.type === 'error') {
    console.log('Error:', event.error);
  }
});

// Unsubscribe when done
unsubscribe();

} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof KYCSdkError) {

    console.log(error.statusCode); // HTTP status code
    console.log(error.message);   // Human-readable message
  }
}

Example

import { createKYCClient } from '@bipdelivery/core';

async function runKYC() {
  const kyc = createKYCClient({
    apiKey: process.env.KYC_API_KEY,
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
  });

  // Start verification
  const session = await kyc.startVerification({
    documentType: 'IDENTITY_CARD',
    country: 'MZ',
    externalId: 'user-12345',
  });

  // Listen for events
  kyc.onEvent((event) => {
    console.log('KYC Event:', event);
  });

  // Upload documents (you would get imageData from your UI)
  await kyc.uploadDocument({
    verificationId: session.verificationId,
    type: 'front',
    imageData: 'base64-encoded-image...',
  });

  await kyc.uploadDocument({
    verificationId: session.verificationId,
    type: 'back',
    imageData: 'base64-encoded-image...',
  });

  // Upload selfie
  await kyc.uploadSelfie({
    verificationId: session.verificationId,
    imageData: 'base64-encoded-selfie...',
  });

  // Wait for completion
  const result = await kyc.pollStatus(session.verificationId);
  console.log('Verification result:', result.status);
}

runKYC();
