Quick Implementation Overview

Tento gives you two ways to integrate — use either on its own, or combine them.

Most partners start with widgets for a fast launch, then add the API when they want custom experiences. The two work well together.

Option A — Embedded Widgets (~2‑minute setup)

Add ready‑made Tento UI to your site with a snippet of JavaScript — no backend required.

1. Add the Tento JavaScript library to your website.
   • Start here: Tento Embedded Experience setup.
   • Then add the widget(s) you need:
     • BCM application button widgets
     • BCM scorecard widget
     • Loan application widget
2. Configure attribution with your partner ID so every referral is credited to you. → Partner ID & referral attribution
3. Place the financing or BCM buttons wherever you want them in your UI.
4. You're live. Users can access financial services immediately.

📘

Set up attribution first. If step 2 is skipped, referrals won't be linked to your account.

Option B — API Integration

Submit applications programmatically and query data for the users you refer.

1. Get access

• Create your partner account and generate API tokens in Volt. → Partner API setup
• Once your token is approved, follow the Authentication guide.
• Want to test safely first? Request staging environment access — contact us and we'll provision staging credentials.

🚧

Validate on staging before production. We strongly recommend staging access to confirm your submissions are correct before calling the production submit endpoint.

2. Refer users

Send users to Tento through any of:

• Embedded widgets
• A custom subdomain
• Direct submissions in Volt
• The API → Submit a financing application

3. Store the Tento IDs

When an application is created, Tento assigns IDs you'll need later to retrieve that user's data. Read Using the Submit Financing API to understand these IDs, and store them on your side.

4. Build your experience

Use the read API endpoints to pull data for your referred users and power custom experiences inside your own product.
