API Reference

UI configuration and API triggers for iBranch

UI Config

Side button settings

The Side Button is the default method by which the customer opens the iBranch.

To adjust the position of the Side Button, set the buttonPositionPercentage to your preferred relative window height. The default is 50 which is at the center.

In some cases, our partners opt to customize the Side Button by building their own component or even completely removing the side button and including a lending menu item or callout. Examples of these customizations can be found below.

To customize the Side Button, set the showSideButton to false. You can then build your own component or menu item and simple call lendica.ibranch.open() to launch the iBranch.

Example - Configure side button position

// Optional config
const config = { 
  buttonPositionPercentage: 30, // This will put the side button at the 30% of the window height, default is 50%
};

lendica.init(credentials, config).then(({ status, message }) => {
  if (status === "success") {
  	lendica.ibranch.render();
  }
});

Example - Hide side button and open iBranch programmatically

const config = { 
  showSideButton: false, // Option to hide the side button to open iBranch, default to true
};

lendica.init(credentials, config).then(({ status, message }) => {
  if (status === "success") {
  	lendica.ibranch.render();
  }
});

// ...on custom buttons or links, provide onClick function to open Lendica iBranch
lendica.ibranch.open(); // See below complete API for opening iBranch on specific page.

Complete iBranch API

If you wish to customize the usage of iBranch, you can build your own triggers to open iBranch programmatically with the following routes.

Open an invoice or bill in-app

Open an invoice in FundNow

// Make sure ibranch is already initialized and rendered
...
// Pass in partner_invoice_uuid and open invoice FundNow
// Pass in the optional invoice total to get marketing offer based on the total amount only
lendica.ibranch.openFundNow(partner_invoice_uuid, total, onSuccess, onExit);

Open a bill in PayLater

// Pass in partner_bill_uuid
// Pass in the optional bill total to get marketing offer based on the total amount only
lendica.ibranch.openPayLater(partner_bill_uuid, total, onSuccess, onExit);

onSuccess and onExit event handlers

onSuccess = (event) => {
  // handle deal activation success event
  // event.eventName: "DEAL_ACTIVATED"
  // event.displayMessage: "Deal activated successfully."
};

onExit = (event) => {
  // Handle exit events triggered when deal activation flow is ended by following events
  // See below for a list of exit events
};

See last section for list of exit events available.
