View Source Stripe.Identity.VerificationSession (stripity_stripe v3.2.0)
A VerificationSession guides you through the process of collecting and verifying the identities of your users. It contains details about the type of verification, such as what verification check to perform. Only create one VerificationSession for each verification in your system.
A VerificationSession transitions through multiple statuses throughout its lifetime as it progresses through the verification flow. The VerificationSession contains the user's verified data after verification checks are complete.

@type t() :: %Stripe.Identity.VerificationSession{ client_secret: binary() | nil, created: integer(), id: binary(), last_error: term() | nil, last_verification_report: (binary() | Stripe.Identity.VerificationReport.t()) | nil, livemode: boolean(), metadata: term(), object: binary(), options: term() | nil, redaction: term() | nil, status: binary(), type: binary() | nil, url: binary() | nil, verified_outputs: term() | nil }
The identity.verification_session
type.
client_secret
The short-lived client secret used by Stripe.js to show a verification modal inside your app. This client secret expires after 24 hours and can only be used once. Don’t store it, log it, embed it in a URL, or expose it to anyone other than the user. Make sure that you have TLS enabled on any page that includes the client secret. Refer to our docs on passing the client secret to the frontend to learn more.created
Time at which the object was created. Measured in seconds since the Unix epoch.id
Unique identifier for the object.last_error
If present, this property tells you the last error encountered when processing the verification.last_verification_report
ID of the most recent VerificationReport. Learn more about accessing detailed verification results.livemode
Has the valuetrue
if the object exists in live mode or the valuefalse
if the object exists in test mode.metadata
Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format.object
String representing the object's type. Objects of the same type share the same value.options
A set of options for the session’s verification checks.redaction
Redaction status of this VerificationSession. If the VerificationSession is not redacted, this field will be null.status
Status of this VerificationSession. Learn more about the lifecycle of sessions.type
The type of verification check to be performed.url
The short-lived URL that you use to redirect a user to Stripe to submit their identity information. This URL expires after 48 hours and can only be used once. Don’t store it, log it, send it in emails or expose it to anyone other than the user. Refer to our docs on verifying identity documents to learn how to redirect users to Stripe.verified_outputs
The user’s verified data.
Functions
@spec cancel( session :: binary(), params :: %{optional(:expand) => [binary()]}, opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, Stripe.ApiErrors.t()} | {:error, term()}
A VerificationSession object can be canceled when it is in requires_input
status.
Once canceled, future submission attempts are disabled. This cannot be undone. Learn more.

Creates a VerificationSession object.
After the VerificationSession is created, display a verification modal using the session client_secret
or send your users to the session’s url
.
If your API key is in test mode, verification checks won’t actually process, though everything else will occur as if in live mode.

@spec redact( session :: binary(), params :: %{optional(:expand) => [binary()]}, opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, Stripe.ApiErrors.t()} | {:error, term()}
Redact a VerificationSession to remove all collected information from Stripe. This will redactthe VerificationSession and all objects related to it, including VerificationReports, Events, request logs, etc.
A VerificationSession object can be redacted when it is in requires_input
or verified
status. Redacting a VerificationSession in requires_action
state will automatically cancel it.
The redaction process may take up to four days. When the redaction process is in progress, theVerificationSession’s redaction.status
field will be set to processing
; when the process is
finished, it will change to redacted
and an identity.verification_session.redacted
event
will be emitted.
Redaction is irreversible. Redacted objects are still accessible in the Stripe API, but all thefields that contain personal data will be replaced by the string [redacted]
or a similar
placeholder. The metadata
field will also be erased. Redacted objects cannot be updated or
used for any purpose.
@spec retrieve( session :: binary(), params :: %{optional(:expand) => [binary()]}, opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, Stripe.ApiErrors.t()} | {:error, term()}
Retrieves the details of a VerificationSession that was previously created.
When the session status is requires_input
, you can use this method to retrieve a validclient_secret
or url
to allow re-submission.
@spec update( session :: binary(), params :: %{ optional(:expand) => [binary()], optional(:metadata) => %{optional(binary()) => binary()}, optional(:options) => options(), optional(:type) => :document | :id_number }, opts :: Keyword.t() ) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, Stripe.ApiErrors.t()} | {:error, term()}
Updates a VerificationSession object.
When the session status is requires_input
, you can use this method to update theverification check and options.
