# Welcome

> Hopae Connect verifies identities with eIDs from around the world through one integration.

Hopae Connect is one API for identity verification with global eIDs: government IDs, bank IDs, and digital wallets. You integrate once. Hopae handles each provider.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an app">
    An app holds your credentials and configuration. Start with a **sandbox app**. See [Apps & Environments](/v2/guides/concepts/apps).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate connections">
    A connection is one eID you can verify with, such as Smart-ID or a US mDL in Google Wallet. See [Connections](/v2/guides/concepts/connections).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure a workflow">
    The workflow decides which connections are offered and which data you receive. See [Workflows](/v2/guides/verifications/workflows).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate">
    Use the hosted **OIDC** flow or the **REST API**. See [Choose an Integration](/v2/guides/integration-methods).
  </Step>
</Steps>
