demo-auth-flow

This project is a simple implementation of a Codat custom-built auth flow, enabling your customers to connect their financial accounts. You can experience the demo here.

We recommend, where possible, using our Embedded Link SDK.

Note: This app is for demonstrative purposes only, and should not be used in a production environment.

The demo

This demo is indicative of a where Codat might fit in to a digital lending onboarding experience. Copay is a fictional digital lender looking to gather financial data from prospective customers in order to make a credit decision.

  • Make sure you have a recent LTS version of Node.js installed.
  • After the linking process is complete, the user should be redirected back to the Link demo app. Set up the redirect URL to https://localhost:3000/redirect To set up the redirect URL, follow the instructions in Codat's documentation on Redirect URLs.
