Self-serve (the General tab): the person who owns the email holds the only key and signs for themselves. Whitelabel (the Whitelabel and REST API tabs): the integrator's customer creates and owns their account through Sign in with HEVN, a HEVN-hosted popup on the integrator's site; the integrator's backend holds a developer key, operates linked accounts and books their payouts, and the account holder approves every payout in that popup. The developer key signs only for the integrator's own wallet; it never signs a client's money. > Use HEVN's terms exactly. A rail is a bank route a client can request. A virtual account (bnk_) is an opened rail. Account details are what a payer needs in order to wire money, and arrive in a field named requisites. A client is a customer's own account linked to the integrator through Sign in with HEVN (POST /dapi/v1/connect/sessions, then POST /dapi/v1/clients/link); there is no API call that creates one. The business behind it is the integrator's customer. A contact is a saved destination; a beneficiary is the party at the far end of a fiat payout. Every departure of money is a payout, to a bank account or to a wallet alike. > Never name a banking partner. Say 'a licensed banking partner'. > There are no published fee rates, spreads or minimums. Prices come from a quote on a specific payment; direct pricing questions to HEVN rather than inventing numbers. > The whitelabel API is at /dapi/v1 and takes a developer-key session plus an X-Hevn-Account header. Developer keys have an IP allowlist and no scopes. Remote transfers are at /api/v1/remote_spend_limit and take a remote transfer key (rsl_) in X-Api-Key, bounded by an onchain spend permission the account holder grants. They are different credentials and neither works on the other surface. The HEVN CLI is discontinued. # Sign in with HEVN > Link your customer's own HEVN account to your integrator account through a HEVN-hosted popup, and let them approve their own payouts in the same window. Sign in with HEVN is how a client comes to exist. Your customer signs in with Google in a HEVN-hosted popup on your site, allows your product to act on the account, and your backend exchanges the code that comes back for a `cl_…` id. The same popup is where the account holder later approves each payout you book for them. ```mermaid theme={null} sequenceDiagram participant B as Your page participant S as Your server participant H as HEVN /dapi/v1 participant W as HEVN sign-in window B->>B: click — open an empty popup first B->>S: start sign-in S->>H: POST /connect/sessions — action link, redirectUri H-->>S: url, state, expiresAt Note over S: remember state in an HttpOnly cookie S-->>B: url B->>W: navigate the popup to url Note over W: signs out any HEVN session,

It shows no HEVN product screens: a sign-in, one consent screen, and, for a payout, the terms being approved. ## Before you start * **Your integrator account is active.** HEVN switches it on. Until it does, `POST /dapi/v1/connect/sessions` and `POST /dapi/v1/clients/link` answer `403 client_creation_not_enabled` — see [Going live](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/going-live.md#what-hevn-must-enable). * **Your site is an allowed origin.** In the HEVN app, open **Settings → Partner program → Developer** and find the **Sign-in window** card. Add every origin your callback page is served from under **Allowed sites**. A session for any other `redirectUri` is refused. * **You have a callback page.** One static page on an allowed origin that hands the popup's result back to the page that opened it. It is shown [below](#the-callback-page). ## Configure the window The **Sign-in window** card holds everything about how the popup looks and where it may return. Nothing about the window is configurable from the API or from the session URL: a page that opens the popup cannot restyle it, retitle it or redirect it. | Setting | What it takes | Without it | | - | - | - | | **Title** | Plain text, up to 60 characters. The window's heading and browser-tab title | HEVN's own headings | | **Logo URL** | An `https://` image address | HEVN's logo | | **Background**, **Accent** | `#rgb` or `#rrggbb`. Accent colours the main button | HEVN's colours | | **Theme** | **Auto**, **Light** or **Dark** | Follows the viewer's system | | **Allowed sites** | Up to 20 origins: `https://host`, or `http://localhost:` and `http://127.0.0.1:` for development. No path, no query | No session can be created | The card shows a preview of the consent screen as you edit. Removing an allowed site also stops every session already issued for it: the window refuses to open a session whose `redirectUri` is no longer on the list. ## Link an account ### 1. Open the popup inside the click Browsers block a popup that is not opened synchronously by a user gesture. Open an empty window first, inside the click handler and before any `await`, then ask your server for the session and point the window at it. ```javascript Browser theme={null} button.addEventListener("click", async () => { const popup = window.open("about:blank", "hevn-connect", "popup,width=460,height=720"); if (!popup) return showError("Allow pop-ups for this site to sign in."); const { url } = await (await fetch("/hevn/link/start", { method: "POST" })).json(); const result = await hevnResult(url, popup); // below if (result.error) return showError(result.error); await fetch("/hevn/link/finish", { method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ code: result.code, state: result.state }), }); }); ``` ### 2. Create a session on your server `POST /dapi/v1/connect/sessions` is called with your own access token and **no** `X-Hevn-Account` — it is about your integrator account, so the header answers `400 account_scope_conflict`. ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST "$HEVN_API/connect/sessions" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"action":"link","redirectUri":"https://app.example.com/hevn/callback"}' ``` ```python Python theme={null} session = hevn.post("/connect/sessions", { "action": "link", "redirectUri": "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }) ``` ```javascript Node theme={null} const session = await hevn.post("/connect/sessions", { action: "link", redirectUri: "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }); ``` ```go Go theme={null} session, err := api.Post("/connect/sessions", hevn.Body{ "action": "link", "redirectUri": "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }) ``` ```json Response — 201 theme={null} { "url": "https://sandbox.gethevn.com/connect?session=eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIs…", "state": "pQ8v2Zr0cJ3mX7tLkN1wA5yHs9dE4fBq", "expiresAt": "2026-09-17T10:14:11Z" } ``` **action** `string` *required* `link` asks the account holder to connect their account. `sign` asks them to approve one payout — see [Approve a payout](#approve-a-payout). **redirectUri** `string` *required* The page the window returns to. An `https://` URL — or `http://localhost` and `http://127.0.0.1` in development — with no fragment, on an origin listed under **Allowed sites**. Any other origin answers `403 redirect_uri_not_allowed`. **payoutId** `string` The `po_…` to approve. Required for `sign`, refused for `link`. `url` opens the window and lives for about ten minutes, until `expiresAt`. HEVN signs it, and it is bound to your integrator account, the action, the payout, the `redirectUri` and a one-time nonce. `state` is that nonce: the window sends it back on `redirectUri` with the result, and nothing else ties the result to this session. Give `url` to the browser and keep `state` on your side. ### 3. Bind the session to this browser Never let the browser tell your server which client it is. Remember `state` in an HttpOnly cookie when you create the session, and accept a code only when the browser returns the same `state` in that same cookie jar. A code arriving with no cookie, or with another `state`, came from somewhere else. ```javascript Node theme={null} app.post("/hevn/link/start", async (req, res) => { const session = await hevn.post("/connect/sessions", { action: "link", redirectUri: "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }); res.cookie("hevn_link", sign({ state: session.state }), { httpOnly: true, secure: true, sameSite: "lax", path: "/hevn/link", maxAge: 10 * 60_000, }); res.json({ url: session.url }); }); ``` ### 4. Exchange the code The window returns a `code` that lives for five minutes and works only for your integrator account. Exchange it server-side, again with no `X-Hevn-Account`: ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST "$HEVN_API/clients/link" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"code":"eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIs…"}' ``` ```python Python theme={null} client = hevn.post("/clients/link", {"code": code}) ``` ```javascript Node theme={null} app.post("/hevn/link/finish", async (req, res) => { const attempt = verify(req.cookies.hevn_link); res.clearCookie("hevn_link", { path: "/hevn/link" }); if (!attempt || !timingSafeEqual(attempt.state, req.body.state)) { return res.status(400).json({ code: "state_mismatch" }); } const client = await hevn.post("/clients/link", { code: req.body.code }); req.session.clientId = client.id; // your own signed session, never a browser field res.json({ signedIn: true }); }); ``` ```go Go theme={null} client, err := api.Post("/clients/link", hevn.Body{"code": code}) ``` ```json Response — 200 theme={null} { "id": "cl_7YQ2Kf3mN8", "status": "ready", "email": "ops@northwind.example", "baseSmartWallet": "0x2f1c9a3b7e5d41c8a06f2d9b4e7c15839af0d6b2", "kybStatus": "notStarted", "createdAt": "2026-09-17T10:04:11Z", "pollUrl": "/dapi/v1/client" } ``` The answer is the [client record](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/clients.md). Store `id` against your own user. From now on your server finds the client from its own session and sends that id in `X-Hevn-Account`; the browser never carries it, so no page can ask your server to act for somebody else's account. Exchanging the same code again returns the same client. ## The callback page The window finishes by navigating to `redirectUri` with the result in the query string: `code` or `error` for a link, `status`, `payout` and `reference` or `error` for a payout, and `state` on every one. The callback page posts that query to the page that opened the popup over a `BroadcastChannel`, then closes the window. ```html callback.html theme={null} Signing in… ``` The opener listens on the same channel and settles only on the result that carries its own session's `state`: ```javascript Browser theme={null} function hevnResult(url, popup, timeoutMs = 10 * 60_000) { const token = new URL(url).searchParams.get("session"); const body = token.split(".")[1].replace(/-/g, "+").replace(/_/g, "/"); const { nonce } = JSON.parse(atob(body.padEnd(Math.ceil(body.length / 4) * 4, "="))); const channel = new BroadcastChannel("hevn-connect"); return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const timer = setTimeout(() => { channel.close(); reject(new Error("timeout")); }, timeoutMs); channel.onmessage = ({ data }) => { if (data?.state !== nonce) return; clearTimeout(timer); channel.close(); resolve(data.result); }; popup.location.href = url; }); } ``` The result does not travel through `window.opener`. Google's sign-in cuts the popup off from the page that opened it, so by the time the window returns, `window.opener` is `null`. A `BroadcastChannel` reaches every page of your origin in the same browser, which is why the callback page must live on the same origin as the page that opened the popup. `state` on the result is the nonce inside the session token, and it equals the `state` field `POST /dapi/v1/connect/sessions` answered. The browser check only routes the result to the right page; the check that matters is your server's, against its cookie. > [!NOTE] > > The Node reference at [hevn-inc/dapi-sdk](https://github.com/hevn-inc/dapi-sdk) ships this browser half as `HevnConnect`: `HevnConnect.open()` opens the popup synchronously in the click handler, `.link(url)`, `.sign(url)` and `.run(url)` navigate it and resolve with the result, and `HevnConnect.complete()` is the whole callback page. Like the rest of that repository, it is a working reference to read, not a supported package. ## Who can be linked Only an account created in the sign-in window can be linked. The window signs out any HEVN session in that browser before every `link` sign-in, so the holder always chooses the Google account explicitly, and: | The person signing in | What happens | | - | - | | Has no HEVN account | The sign-in creates one, they allow access, and the window returns a `code`. | | Already linked to **you** through an earlier sign-in | They sign in again and the window returns a new `code` for the same client. This is how a returning customer logs in to your product. | | Already has a HEVN account of their own | The window refuses with `already_registered` and offers to open HEVN instead. An account someone already uses directly can never be handed to an integrator. | | Is linked to another integrator | The window refuses with `already_linked`. | The consent screen names your product — the **Title** you configured, or your account's name — and the origin of `redirectUri`, and says what you get: you can see balances, open accounts and prepare transfers, and the holder approves every transfer themselves in this window. ## Approve a payout A payout you book for a linked client answers `authorization: "client"` and carries no approval for your key. The holder signs it. Create a `sign` session for that payout and open the popup exactly as for a link: ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST "$HEVN_API/connect/sessions" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"action":"sign","payoutId":"po_6d21…","redirectUri":"https://app.example.com/hevn/callback"}' ``` ```python Python theme={null} session = hevn.post("/connect/sessions", { "action": "sign", "payoutId": payout["id"], "redirectUri": "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }) ``` ```javascript Node theme={null} const session = await hevn.post("/connect/sessions", { action: "sign", payoutId: payout.id, redirectUri: "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }); ``` ```go Go theme={null} session, err := api.Post("/connect/sessions", hevn.Body{ "action": "sign", "payoutId": payout.Str("id"), "redirectUri": "https://app.example.com/hevn/callback", }) ``` The payout must belong to a client linked to you and still be `awaitingSignature`. Otherwise the session is refused with `404 payout_not_found` or `409 payout_not_awaiting_signature`. In the window the holder signs in — a HEVN session already open in that browser is reused for `sign` — sees the amount, the contact's name and who requested it, and their own wallet signs the debit. The callback receives `status=submitted`, `payout=po_…` and, when the debit was sent, `reference`. A payout that was no longer waiting by the time the window opened comes back with its current `status` and nothing signed. The redirect is a hint, never the record. Read `GET /dapi/v1/payouts/{payoutId}` with the client in `X-Hevn-Account` and follow it to `settled` like any other payout — see [Payouts](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/payouts.md#approve-it-in-the-sign-in-window). ## Errors Refusals come from two places. Your server sees the API's; your callback page sees the window's, as `error` on the redirect. | Where | `code` | Cause | What to do | | - | - | - | - | | `POST /connect/sessions` | `403 redirect_uri_not_allowed` | The origin of `redirectUri` is not under **Allowed sites** | Add the origin in the **Sign-in window** card, or fix the URL | | `POST /connect/sessions` | `422 validation_failed` | `redirectUri` is not `https://` (or local `http://`), carries a fragment, or `payoutId` is missing for `sign` or present for `link` | Fix the body | | `POST /connect/sessions` | `404 payout_not_found`, `409 payout_not_awaiting_signature` | A `sign` session for a payout that is not a linked client's, or that no longer waits for a signature | Read the payout before you open the window | | `POST /connect/sessions`, `POST /clients/link` | `403 client_creation_not_enabled` | Your integrator account is not active | Ask HEVN — see [Going live](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/going-live.md#what-hevn-must-enable) | | `POST /clients/link` | `400 link_code_invalid` | The code is malformed, was issued for another integrator, or the account is gone | Start a new sign-in | | `POST /clients/link` | `410 link_code_expired` | The code is older than five minutes | Start a new sign-in | | `POST /clients/link` | `409 client_already_linked` | The account is already connected to another integrator, or can no longer be connected to you | Nothing to retry. Tell your customer | | Callback | `access_denied` | The holder chose **Deny** on the consent screen | Let them try again when they are ready | | Callback | `already_registered` | The Google account already has a HEVN account of its own | It cannot be linked. Ask your customer to sign in with another Google account | | Callback | `already_linked` | The account is connected to another integrator | Nothing to retry | | Callback | `not_found` | The signed-in holder does not own the payout, or it is not linked to you — usually the wrong Google account | Ask the holder to sign in with the account they linked | | Callback | `unsupported` | This payout cannot be approved in the window | Book a payout the window can fund — see [Payouts](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/payouts.md#approve-it-in-the-sign-in-window) | | Callback | `expired` | The session ran out while the holder was in the window | Create a new session | | Callback | `failed` | Anything else | Create a new session and try again | A session that is invalid or already expired when the window opens never reaches your callback: the window shows *This link has expired or is invalid* and sends nothing back. Give up on the opener side once `expiresAt` has passed, and close the popup. > **[Next: Clients](https://hevninc.mintlify.site/whitelabel/clients.md)** > > Read the linked client, wait for it to be ready, and keep the one id that identifies it.
