Applications

Applications are hosted workflows that help you collect and maintain seller information in Getpaid without building the full seller-facing flow yourself. Your platform creates the application via API, redirects the seller to the hosted URL returned in flow.next_step.url, and receives webhooks as the application progresses.

What applications are used for​

Use applications when you want Getpaid to host the seller journey for either of these scenarios:

  • Create a new seller account and collect the information required to start accepting payments.
  • Request targeted updates from an existing seller account.

Across application types, the lifecycle is consistent:

  1. Create the application with the Applications API.
  2. Redirect the seller to the hosted page returned in the API response.
  3. Refresh the application if the URL expires before submission.
  4. Track submission and completion through webhooks or by retrieving the application.

Application types​

Onboarding​

Use onboarding applications to collect the information required to create a new seller account and complete the initial review process.

See the Onboarding guide.

Change requests​

Use change request applications to let an existing seller review and update specific information on their account, such as branding-related settings, without going through full onboarding again.

See the Change requests guide.
