Customer is Referred to Pliant (Lead from Partner)
Partners that integrate the Pliant solution via the API can refer customers to Pliant, to use the credit card solution. This process is described here and inherently different from the process when a existing Pliant customer wants to start an integration.
Process Overview
- The partner may refer any customer to Pliant. Part of this is the conduction of a demo of the Pliant solution. Which is normally conducted by the Plaint sales team. But in special agreed upon cases the partner can also take this task.
- The partner then sends the generated lead to our API to start the process on Pliant side. See below for details about the API endpoint.
- Pliant will then contact the customer and either start the onboarding process or reject the customer depending on certain internal criteria.
- If the onboarding process is started, the partner will be informed about this via a special callback, which sends both organization ids to the partner: the organization id on Pliant side and the partner defined organization id. With this information the partner can match the two organizations on its side. You mainly receive here the callback types:
ORGANIZATION_ADDED
: This callback will be triggered and send to partners which refer organizations to Pliant and it will be send prior to an active integration with the partner. This is necessary, since the organization comes first and then the partner integration can be activated. Hence this callback can only be send before an active integration with the partner exists. It is send to the partner which is stored as the referring partner in Pliant.AUTHORIZATION_PENDING
: This callback informs about the started authorization process to integrate with a partner.AUTHORIZATION_GRANTED
: This callback is the finalization of the integration flow with a partner.
- The onboarding process will then take on average between 1-10 days, depending on the complexity of the company structure of the customer and the responsibility of the customer.
- During the onboarding process, and only if the customer actively activates this option, several stages are communicated via callback to the partner. If granted, you can also get details about the onboarding status via our API. You mainly receive here:
ORGANIZATION_STATE_CHANGED
BANK_CONNECTION_STATUS_CHANGED
DOCUMENT_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGED
REPRESENTATIVE_LEGITIMATION_STATUS_CHANGED
REPRESENTATIVE_SUBMISSION_STATUS_CHANGED
- Ideally the process ends with the approval and activation of the organization.
- The customer can then use Pliant through the integration built by the partner or the Pliant app itself.
