Hosted payment fields
Use embedded, hosted payment inputs so raw PAN is captured only by the payment provider, reducing PCI scope and limiting exposure of full card data within the document environment.
Structured collection minimizes legal and security risks by routing card entry through PCI-compliant processors, retaining only tokens in documents, and ensuring the eSignature record preserves consent and transaction metadata for later verification.
Oversees reconciliation and access to payment tokens and transaction records. Uses document audit trails and payment IDs to match signed authorizations with processor reports and ensures retention policies meet regulatory and internal audit requirements.
Interacts directly with customers at checkout to collect authorization and process payments via a hosted field. Focuses on quick, accurate data entry while relying on tokenization and masking to keep cardholder data out of internal systems.
Use embedded, hosted payment inputs so raw PAN is captured only by the payment provider, reducing PCI scope and limiting exposure of full card data within the document environment.
Replace card numbers with payment tokens supplied by Stripe or other processors so recurring charges or refunds can be processed without storing primary account numbers in the eSignature system.
Automatically redact or mask sensitive fields in stored PDFs to prevent display of card digits while preserving the record of the transaction and necessary metadata.
Capture signer identity, timestamps, IP addresses, and payment event IDs to create a complete, tamper-evident record for compliance and reconciling transactions.
Limit who can view payment metadata versus redacted documents through granular permissions, ensuring only authorized finance personnel can access sensitive details.
Prebuilt integrations and APIs for payment gateways, CRM systems, and cloud storage streamline payment verification, reconciliation, and document lifecycle management without exposing cardholder data.
Prebuilt connectors for processors like Stripe or PayPal let the cashier enter card details in a hosted field; the processor returns a token which is stored in the document metadata rather than the PAN.
Reusable templates with preconfigured masked payment fields, legal disclosures, and role assignments streamline cashier workflows and reduce errors when capturing consent and payment authorizations.
Link signed records and payment tokens to customer profiles in CRM systems for reconciliation and history without persisting card numbers in either system.
Real-time webhooks notify back-end systems of signed documents and payment events so finance systems can reconcile transactions automatically.

Typical implementations support web, tablet, and mobile environments, with hosted payment forms designed to work across common browsers and operating systems for cashier workflows.
For mobile and tablet use, ensure the payment integration uses responsive hosted fields or SDKs, confirm app permissions for camera or NFC if used, and validate offline retry logic so transactions and signatures sync reliably when connectivity returns.
