DocPayload
Quebec City, Canada
What it is
DocPayload generates PDF and DOCX documents from a JSON definition, with SVG also available as an API output. Inputs can include JSON payloads, stored templates, data objects, arrays, and data files. Listed document elements include barcodes, AcroForm fields, watermarks, vector charts, signatures, and encryption. Its API uses standard HTTP requests, so an application able to POST JSON can connect without a language-specific SDK. Documents can be returned synchronously, emailed, or sent to an endpoint through webhooks with signed payloads and retries. The product supports more than 100 scripts, including CJK, Devanagari, Thai, Arabic, and Hebrew. Deployment choices include web and API access, self-hosting, VPC, and regional deployments in the US, EU, Canada, and UAE; the company says data stays in the chosen region. Listed security and compliance capabilities include end-to-end encryption, backups, SOC 2, HIPAA support with a BAA available, eIDAS/PAdES signatures, and PDF/A output. Starter is free for up to five documents. Pay-as-you-go costs $0.50 per rendered page, with no monthly fees; Enterprise is $79.00 per month. Paid plans include a 14-day trial.
