Face Match V1 vs V2 Comparison
In V1, Face Match presents a functional comparison of the selfie and ID portrait under a “Verifying photo based identity” heading, with limited branding and a result conveyed primarily through a tinted photo and a bottom status banner.
In V2, Face Match keeps the same core comparison but wraps it in a cleaner, fully branded experience: an Incode header, a “verified by Incode” trust footer, a simplified “Verifying identity” title, and explicit, dedicated result screens — a green “Matched!” success with a clear Continue CTA, and a distinct “Faces do not match” error state.
V1 — a functional comparison with limited branding; the result is shown via a tinted photo and a bottom status banner.
V2 — a fully branded, guided comparison with explicit match and no-match result screens and a clear next action.

Customization Overview
Customization in V2 is significantly simpler and more consistent across modules.
Customizing the experience to match your brand is simpler in V2
Instead of isolated options per screen, V2 uses a unified token-based system that controls visuals and behavior with fewer parameters and predictable outcomes. This means less engineering work, consistent branding across modules, and reduced risk of breaking flows.
