Introduction

Let's discover Autohost in less than 5 minutes.

Who is this for?

This guide is for developers who want to embed Autohost verification into their application.

Autohost is a service that verifies the identity of users and performs KYC checks. It is designed to be embedded into your application, so that your users can be verified without leaving your website.

This is useful for the following industries:

  • 🏨 Hospitality (e.g. hotels, short-term rentals)
  • 🏠 Real estate (e.g. property management, rentals)
  • 🧑‍💼 Insurance (e.g. car insurance, travel insurance)
  • 🚗 Sharing economy (e.g. car sharing, peer-to-peer rentals)
  • 🧑‍🔧 Remote hiring (e.g. freelancing, remote work)
  • 🛍️ Online marketplaces (e.g. e-commerce, classifieds)
  • 🏦 Financial services (e.g. banking, lending, investing)

How does it work?

The verification workflow looks like this:

  1. Your application sends a verification request to Autohost.
  2. Your application redirects the user to Autohost or embeds the verification flow using the SDK.
  3. The user completes the verification flow.
  4. Autohost sends a verification response to your application.
  5. Your application receives the verification response and updates the user's profile.
