DocPayload turns a JSON definition into PDF and DOCX documents, with SVG also available as an API output. Its code-based templates can use JSON payloads, stored templates, data objects, arrays, and data files, with conditional logic. Listed document elements include barcodes, AcroForm fields, watermarks, vector charts, signatures, and encryption. The API uses standard HTTP requests, so a system able to POST JSON can connect without a language-specific SDK. Generated documents can be returned synchronously, emailed, or delivered to an endpoint through webhooks with signed payloads and retries. DocPayload lists support for more than 100 scripts, including CJK, Devanagari, Thai, Arabic, and Hebrew. Deployment options include web, API, self-hosted, VPC, and regional deployments in the US, EU, Canada, and UAE. The free Starter plan allows up to 5 documents. Pay-as-you-go costs $0.50 per rendered page, and Enterprise is $79.00 per month. Paid plans include a 14-day trial.
