BlinkCard SDK wrapper for React Native
Best-in-class credit card scanning software for cross-platform apps built with React Native.
Below, you’ll find a quick guide on starting your own demo project as well as complete guidance on installing and linking BlinkCard library with your iOS and Android apps ⬇️
For a full access to all features and functionalities, please consider using our native SDKs (for iOS or Android)
Licensing
A valid license key is required to initialize scanning. You can request a free trial license key, after you register, at Microblink Developer Hub
For production licensing, please contact sales to request a quote.
Keep in mind: Versions 2.2.0 and above require an internet connection to work under our new License Management Program.
We’re only asking you to do this so we can validate your trial license key. Scanning or data extraction of identity documents still happens offline, on the device itself.
Once the validation is complete, you can continue using the SDK in offline mode (or over a private network) until the next check.
