Merchant Legal Documents

The Merchant Legal Documents API is used to manage legal documents that may require signature collection during the onboarding process. This includes both the Merchant Application and various addendums. The service provides endpoints that can be used to retrieve the most recent versions of each legal document for display, as well as a set of endpoints that can be used to provide evidence that signatures have been collected.

Note: Changes to the signature collection process need to be reviewed with Xplor stakeholders before implementation in production.

Available Endpoints:

Legal Documents:

• Get a Specific Legal Document:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/{merchantNumber}/{legalDocumentId}

• Update a Specific Legal Document:

  • PUT /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/{merchantNumber}/{legalDocumentId}

• Delete a Legal Document:

  • DELETE /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/{merchantNumber}/{legalDocumentId}

• List All Legal Documents for a Merchant:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/{merchantNumber}

• Get Legal Document Settings:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/settings

• Get Legal Document Settings for a Specific Legal Document:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v2/documents/settings/{legalDocumentTypeName}

• Create a New Legal Document:

  • POST /api/legaldocuments/v3/documents/{merchantNumber}

Terms and Conditions:

• Get Types of Terms and Conditions:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v1/TermsAndConditions/Types

• Get Terms and Conditions for a Merchant:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v1/TermsAndConditions/{merchantNumber}

• Get Terms and Conditions for a Specific Type ID:

  • GET /api/legaldocuments/v1/TermsAndConditions/{merchantNumber}/{typeID}

Important: Xplor Pay does not currently offer an endpoint that determines which legal documents are required for a given application. To automate that decision, you must implement the necessary logic within your own system.

Note:

• The Legal Documents endpoints have been introduced to replace the deprecated Signature endpoints. While the previous Signature endpoints remain functional for backward compatibility, developers should migrate to the Legal Documents endpoints for all new implementations.

• Early versions of the Legal Documents endpoints supported alternative routing through /api/demographics/ in addition to the standard /api/legaldocuments/ path. This dual-route support was maintained through application versions V1 and V2 but was removed in V3. All requests should now use the /api/legaldocuments/ route.

Sample Usage Workflow

A potential workflow for the integrator is detailed below:

1. Integrator retrieves the list of legal documents and their settings

2. Determines which legal documents to show to the signer

3. Retrieves the terms and conditions for those legal documents and displays them to the signer

4. Sends information about the signed documents back to Xplor Pay.
