Choose who pays

Every workflow is configured with one of two payment structures:

  • Business pays — your business covers the verification costs; applicants complete the workflow at no charge.
  • Applicant pays — the applicant prepays for all the verifications they are about to undergo. They own their verified profile, choose whether to share it with you — or with others — and can request a refund if there are issues with their workflow.

Fees are charged per completed billable step — see Pricing and usage.

Share it

When the workflow is ready, preview it end to end, then send it out — see Share a workflow.
