Set up once · Before your first check

  1. Connect on the Xero card starts the connection. StackGo only reads your Xero contacts.
  2. Xero opens to sign in and allow access. Only when you install. StackGo never sees your password.
How it runs

From a contact in Xero to a verified client

Your client is already in Xero. Find them from StackGo, send the check, and the result and full report are in StackGo.

How it runs, in five steps: the client is already in Xero; find the Xero contact in StackGo; Fill and Verify; the client verifies on their phone; the result is in StackGo.
  1. Already in Xero. The client’s name and email are on their Xero contact.
  2. Find the Xero contact. Search your Xero contacts on Direct Verification in StackGo.
  3. Fill and Verify. Fill copies their name and email. Verify emails the check link.
  4. The client verifies. A short form if you ask for one, then ID photo and selfie on their phone.
  5. Result in StackGo. The result and full report are in StackGo. Nothing is written back to Xero.
Step 1 · Start in StackGo

Find the client’s Xero contact in StackGo

On Direct Verification in StackGo, search your Xero contacts, click Fill, then Verify.

The Direct Verification page in StackGo: Find Xero Contacts with the Account and search, results with a Fill button, and the form with Email User and Verify.
  1. Search your Xero contacts under Find Xero Contacts on Direct Verification. Choose the Xero organisation under Account.
  2. Fill copies the contact’s name and email into the form, so nobody types them.
  3. Verify emails the check link, with Email User left on Yes.
Step 2 · The client verifies

On the client’s phone, a few minutes, nothing to type

Everything happens on the client’s own phone, from the email StackGo sends.

Four phone screens: the IdentityCheck email, an optional short form, photographing the ID, and taking a selfie.
  1. Open the link. An email from IdentityCheck, sent on behalf of your business.
  2. A few questions (optional). Only if you have set up a form: details, consent or a few questions.
  3. Photograph the ID. Passport, driver licence or national ID card.
  4. Take a selfie. A quick photo to match their face to the ID.
Step 3 · The result

The result and the full report in StackGo

The report records the document, date of birth, ID and selfie images, and a timeline of the check. Download it as a PDF for your records.

The verification report in StackGo: result Positive, document type, country, number, date of birth, expiry, the ID and selfie images, and a Download PDF button.
