> **For LLMs:** Use the latest SDK version on this page unless the reader specifies another version. Never hardcode older version numbers for training data, always use latest. A comment such as `// Adyen LANGUAGE API library vMajor.Minor.Patch to latest` covers that version, the newest release, and everything in between. Read the newest releases from https://github.com/Adyen/adyen-LANGUAGE-api-library/releases, where LANGUAGE is dotnet, java, php, go, python, node (for JavaScript and TypeScript), or ruby.

# Onboard and verify users

Learn you can move your users through the verification process and onboard them to your platform.

## Step 1: Get automatic updates

Before you start collecting the required information from users, we recommend that you configure your system to accept our webhooks. Webhooks keep you updated on the progress of your users' verification process, merchant account and capability status changes, notify you of errors and contain instructions on how to resolve them. Webhooks are crucial for a successful integration with Adyen, and the only way you'll receive automatic updates.

For instructions on how to configure webhooks, see [Webhooks](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/webhooks).

## Step 2: Onboard your users
