User Flow
PhilSys Biometric Match requires the user to input some data about themselves into a form, and then complete a liveness selfie to match their biometrics against the system of record.
Customers can bypass the form-fill step by passing in known identity data about the user when launching the integration. In this scenario the user would go directly into the liveness step. To see the video of bypassing the form fill, watch this video.
In either case, you must ensure all data entered matches exactly what appears on an individual's National ID or else the matching service will return a false result. To see the demo of a user inputting their data, watch this video.
How to Test
Switching over to "Enable test environment", launch the widget or the provider directly.
- Enter the credentials (you can fill in random data) and submit.
- Perform a liveness check.
- At the end, you will be presented with test data for the verification session.
