Handcash Connect Nextjs Example
Getting started with HandCash Connect + NextJs
Overview
HandCash Connect is an external service that developers can use for authentication and payment processing. It provides an authentication flow where users are redirected from the app to HandCash and then redirected back to the app with an authToken and sessionToken. The authToken is stored on the server and a new sessionToken is generated based on JWT. Developers have the flexibility to implement their own authentication system while using HandCash as the basis for authentication. Additionally, HandCash Connect allows developers to trigger payments through an internal API endpoint.
Features
- Authentication flow: Users are redirected to HandCash for authentication and redirected back to the app with an authToken and sessionToken.
- Exposing authToken as little as possible: The authToken is stored on the server and a new sessionToken is generated based on JWT.
- Flexibility in authentication system: Developers can implement their own authentication system and use HandCash as an external service.
- Triggering payments: The app can initiate payments by calling an internal API endpoint and sending the sessionToken as a Bearer token.
