Integrate eSignature and much more using our powerful and secure APIs and SDKs. ## Choose your integration approach #### Internal Application ![Diagram showing flow for the enterprise integration pattern.](/_fern-files/_img/5be62ddf0ba31634f3ca135dee209f9a166b9c99bc0a16cc35b09a9f8511b419.webp) ### Docusign for your employees In this type of integration, your company aims to bring Docusign within your application for use by your employees. To get started with the integration, create a FREE developer account and use the Integration Key (Client ID / Secret) from this account to make the API calls. Before going to production, your company will need to purchase a Docusign plan and use the production Integration Key (Client ID/Secret) for use in the production environment. ![Image of a woman looking at her phone, interposed with a modal asking a user to verify their identity.](/_fern-files/_img/ac8da84653ecadc65fecc0611f41f6a25a551b0d028b6b0915dcffbbeceff487.webp) ### Online Banking Account Opening Digital Banks have completely redefined the modern banking experience by offering customers a seamless and efficient way to manage their finances without the hassle of visiting a branch. While account opening is easily done online, establishing the identity of the applicant poses a significant degree of challenge for digital banks. With [Docusign ID Verification with Liveness Detection](https://players.brightcove.net/6118377982001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6363285113112), digital banks can deter identity spoofing by leveraging biometric checks powered by AI to compare the photo on the signer's identity document to the video selfie they are asked to take as part of the verification process.

Your company aims to bring Docusign within your application for use by your customers. To get started with the integration development, create a FREE developer account and use the Integration key (Client ID / Secret) from this account to make the API calls. Before going to production, your company will need to join the partner program to get your FREE production account (conditions apply). Your customers who have already purchased Docusign production plans, will login to Docusign from within your application and provide consent for your application to access their agreements on your customer’s behalf. See the [Docusign Partner Program](https://partners.docusign.com/s/join-now) for details and a link to apply to the partner program. ![Image of a woman working on a laptop computer in a well-lit room with shelves of pottery in the background.](/_fern-files/_img/bf6a7b2873b512b92d16f8cca198c6b36725ac2cbfbd595617b3410f7059c77c.webp) ### Asset Management Solutions Imagine you are an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) that specializes in document and asset management solutions. From time to time, your customers may need to extract documents from your application repository, initiate a review and solicit consent and signature from various parties. If they are also Docusign users, then this may be the perfect opportunity to explore an ISV General Connector Integration with Docusign. Tags: ISV, eSignature API, composite templates, embedded signing, webhooks ### Popular features for ISV Connector Integrations #### Composite Templates Composite templates enable a single e-signature process to adapt to different use cases and accommodate multiple signers and documents.

Your company aims to license Docusign as part of your product for use by your customers. To get started with the integration, get your [FREE ISV Embed Demo account](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkvECdevlGs3OprFEzD9kWaDGYLV_W38q6Yqj87VQp2O4lSQ/viewform). Note: This account is different from a FREE developer account. You will need to create an Integration key in the ISV Embed Demo account to make your API calls. You will also need to create an organization and create sub-accounts for each of your customers. Before going to production, your company will purchase an ISV Embed production plan and use the production Integration Key (Client ID/Secret) for use in the production environment. See the [Docusign Partner Program](https://partners.docusign.com/s/join-now) for details and a link to apply to the partner program. ![Image of medical doctor smiling down at her laptop, sitting at a desk.](/_fern-files/_img/99d9103a2f25c41923689fd189ee11d8326d0db4f5bfd68c4ae4e908cb9a0888.webp) ### ISV Solutions for the Healthcare Industry As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) specializing in healthcare solutions, you understand the unique needs of your clients. You sell packaged, commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) products to customers in the healthcare industry. Your customer is now requesting an electronic signature solution for documents such as prescriptions, absence chits, requests for medical reports, consent for medical information disclosure, and more. You can accelerate your time to market by using Docusign eSignature through a robust set of REST APIs to provide a seamless turnkey solution that will rapidly streamline your customers' experience and help them boost operational efficiency. Doctors, medical officers, and clinical staff no longer have to toggle across multiple applications to prepare documents and collect consent. Instead, they can quickly and easily sign all the paperwork through your application on one single unified UI (which they are already familiar with). This provides an excellent experience for both the medical team and their patients. Tags: eSignature API, ISV Embed ### Popular features for ISV Embed Integrations #### Org administration Organization Administration offers Docusign customers power features for managing their accounts, domains, and users. Organization admins can add, update, or close any users within any of the organization’s accounts or reserved domains from one place rather than performing these operations for each user individually. This feature is part of the ISV Embed plan offering.

Cloned accounts belong to the ISV’s organization. Customer employees who send agreements will have their own users in the cloned accounts.
