The Signup+ API enables you to collect user data as part of a separate API request such as creating a payment ot retrieving user data. This simplifies user data collection, and as a result the registration or due diligence process. For example, you can collect user data as part of a payment, part of a mandate, or through the Data API prior to a payment.
