Docusign | Developer Sandbox | When should signers have a docusign account?

I've a use-case to integrate e-signature with an existing application of some confidential customer.

Initial question that came into my mind was: "Does signer need to have docusign account or not ?" I've found the answer of the above question in "Login Requirements" section of this article: https://support.docusign.com/en/guides/ndse-admin-guide-security-settings

As per above answer, it depends on the sender whether s/he wants signer to have docusign account or not. But my question is "Why and in Which case a sender would like to have signer's docusign account and In which case it would be fine without signer's account ?"

Need help regarding the use-cases, i.e when an account is needed and when not.

Re: Need help regarding the use-cases, i.e when an account is needed and when not.

With DocuSign, a signer very rarely needs a DocuSign account nor has any charge for a signer.

Senders always need an account on DocuSign.

Signers don't need an account when:

  • The signing request is sent to them via email
  • nor when the signing ceremony is presented within the flow of a website (embedded signing)

The only time that I can think of where the signer must have an account is when the sender wants DocuSign to implement Part 11 privacy rules for their account. In this case, the signer must authenticate themselves and log into a DocuSign account before signing.
