Hosted Onboarding

In order to process payments, each of your customers (whom we refer to as sub accounts) will go through an approval process. JustiFi's hosted onboarding provides you with an easy-to-implement, user-friendly way to collect the required business and financial information from each sub accounts within your platform. Once approved, your sub account can process payments through JustiFi.

To onboard a new sub account via hosted onboarding

  1. Create a sub account
  2. Include JustiFi hosted onboarding in your application
  3. (optional) Listen to success/fail message
  4. Check the sub account's status

Create a sub account

Create a sub account

curl -X POST \
  https://api.justifi.ai/v1/sub_accounts \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "name": "Sub account name"
  }'

Use the sub accounts API to create a sub account on JustiFi that is associated with your platform. You will need the account_id from the account you create for the next step.

Include JustiFi hosted onboarding in your application

To present the JustiFi hosted onboarding form to your user, create an iframe with a source of https://accounts.justifi.ai/onboarding/SUB_ACCOUNT_ID, where SUB_ACCOUNT_ID is the account_id that was created in the previous step. This iframe will present your user with a multi-step form where they can enter the business and financial information needed for approval. Upon submission, a success message will display.

(optional) Listen to success/fail message

Listen to success/fail message

const handleOnboardingCompletion = (e) => {
  const { eventType } = e.data;
  if (eventType === 'submitSuccess') {
    // Handle successful onboarding
  }
  if (eventType === 'submitFailure') {
    // Handle failed onboarding
  }
};

window.addEventListener('message', handleOnboardingCompletion);

When the onboarding is completed, success or failure, the JustiFi iframe will send a postMessage. This allows your platform to take a next step, for example closing a modal, or redirecting to another page.

Check the sub account status

Retrieve a sub account

curl -X GET https://api.justifi.ai/v1/sub_accounts/ACCOUNT_ID \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer [access_token]' \
    -H 'Accept: application/json'

Once your sub account submits the onboarding form, we'll review their information. This approval process can take up to a few business days. In order to check the account's onboarding status, call the Get a Sub Account endpoint or use an event publisher to subscribe to the sub_account.updated events.Note: seller_account.updated event has been deprecated
