DocuSign Quick
Start Guide
Using the Payment Processing Feature
Overview
There might be times when you want to send an envelope where you can send an offer, close the deal and collect the cash all in one step.
The Payment Processing feature allows you to integrate your DocuSign account with your PayPal™ account to collect payments from signers while they are signing an envelope.
IMPORTANT: There is an extra charge for using the Payment Processing Feature in an envelope. You must have a PayPal account to use this feature and you will need to enter some of your PayPal account information in the DocuSign console.
Note: The Payment Processing feature is only supported in DocuSign Business, Business Premium, Enterprise, System Automated (SA), DocuSign for REALTORS, and DocuSign for Real Estate plans. Your account may not support this option. To access this functionality, contact your Account Manager or DocuSign Support ([email protected]) for assistance.
This guide provides information on:
• How to add your PayPal account information in the DocuSign console • How to enable Payment Processing for a tag
• What your recipients see when Payment Processing is enabled
The procedures in this guide assume that you have a DocuSign account and are logged on to the console. For more information and details on any of these subjects, see the Classic DocuSign
Experience User Guide.

2 Using the Payment Processing Feature Quick Start Guide
How it Works
Payment Processing allows you to collect payments through your PayPal account from your signers while they are signing your documents.
After enabling Payment Processing and entering your PayPal account information, you can designate Data Field, Drop Down and Formula tags as payment tags in your envelopes. When creating an envelope or template just place a tag on a document, open the tag Properties and specify that a tag is a payment amount. Multiple tags can be designated as payment amounts in the envelope and they can be assigned to the same or different recipients.
When the recipient opens the envelope and completes all required tags, including signature and initial tags, they are prompted to pay. The signer clicks Pay Now to open the Payment dialog, which shows the total amount due and provides the payment methods. If a recipient has multiple Payment
Processing tags, all of the amounts in the field are added together for the total amount due. After the signer completes the payment process, they are returned to the envelope to Confirm Signing and complete the envelope.
When a signer completes the payment process, the PayPal payment status is set to pending. If the envelope is declined by a subsequent signer or voided, the PayPal payment status is changed to Cancelled. When an envelope is completed (all signers have signed), the PayPal payment status is changed to Completed. The sender can capture or void PayPal information before envelope
completion. If this happens, an email message is sent to the sender and signer.
The DocuSign Envelope ID is included for reference in the PayPal transaction comments section for both the Sender and Signer.
Enabling Payment Processing and Adding PayPal Account

IMPORTANT: DocuSign requires you to enter your PayPal account Partner, Merchant Login (PayPal uses the terms ‘Merchant Login’ and 'Vendor' interchangeably), User, and Password information. This information is created when you establish your PayPal account and PayPal expects you to manage your credential information. If you do not know this all of this information, contact the PayPal Support Center for assistance.

4 Using the Payment Processing Feature Quick Start Guide
Enabling Payment Processing in an Envelope
Payment processing can be enabled in Data Field, Drop Down and Formula tags. Multiple Payment Processing tags can be assigned to the same recipient in an envelope. The process for enabling payment processing in a tag is similar to the normal process for creating an envelope and adding tags. The changes are described in the following procedure.
Note: The value of the Payment Processing tag is the amount the recipient is asked to pay and must be a number. The field value can be based on a calculated value using the Calculated Fields feature. See the Using the Calculated Fields Feature quick start guide or the DocuSign Service User Guide for more information about Calculated Fields.
1. Create a new envelope. Add documents, recipients, Email Subject and Email messages, and select any Envelope Settings normally.
2. Add the tags normally.
3. When you are ready to enable a tag that will have a payment account, select or place the tag and open the Properties for the tag.
Note: Tags that are used as payment tags cannot be shared tags (Allow All to Edit cannot be selected for the tags).
Select This is a Payment Amount. This designates the tag as a payment tag.
Click Apply to save the change.
IMPORTANT: The value of a payment tag must be a number. If multiple tags are enabled for Payment Processing for the same recipient, the values of all of the tags are totaled during the payment process to determine the amount due. If you are using the Calculated Fields feature, be careful that you don’t double-charge your recipient by designating a tag for payment and including it again in the formula for a calculated field that is also designated as a payment tag.
4. Complete and send the envelope normally.
What Your Recipient Sees
When the recipient receives the envelope with Payment Processing tags and completes the all required tags, including signature and initial tags, they are prompted to pay. Once signer clicks Pay Now, the envelope will be locked and the signer cannot make changes in the envelope (unless they cancel out of the payment process to return to the envelope). The image on the right shows the view in the new signing experience.
5 Using the Payment Processing Feature Quick Start Guide
Clicking Pay Now opens the Payment dialog, which shows the total amount due and provides the payment methods. If a recipient has multiple Payment Processing tags, all of the amounts in the field are added together for the total amount due.
After the signer completes the payment process, they are returned to the envelope to Complete Payment.

After the signer clicks Complete Payment or FINISH, the envelope is closed and a message window stating the signer has completed the documents is displayed. The signer is given the option of downloading a PDF copy of the documents or printing a copy of the documents.
