Card link Moov Drop

The card link Drop enables Moov customers to register a user’s credit card in the most secure and seamless way possible.

With the moov-card-link element, credit card information is entered by the user and processed directly by Moov. The card link Drop interacts directly with the link a card POST endpoint using JWTs to securely send data between your end users browser and Moov. All information is captured by an iframe and hidden from the customer’s website.
