Upcoming Changes for BankID Signing WYSIWYS

Upcoming changes (breaking and non-breaking) in BankID Signing WYSIWYS.

The changes might concern the WYSIWYS API, the WYSIWYS User Interface or both.

Planned Changes

(API + UI, non-breaking) Improved redirect-URL communication

This change will be addressing merchant concerns that users might get "stuck" on the finish/download page and could close their browser instead of returning to the merchant´s website.

The API will accept a parameter that will enable merchants to influence how the "Continue"-button on the finish-page is labelled. This way it will be possible to add a target to be displayed in the UI, e.g. by adding "MyMerchant´s Portal". Instead of "Continue" the button would be labelled "Continue to MyMerchant´s Portal".

(API + UI, non-breaking) Improved support for merchant-side workflows

This change is designed to help guide the user through merchant-side workflows consisting of multiple persons signing the same documents.

The API will accept an additional parameter that allows WYSIWYS to differentiate between a stand-alone sign order and a merchant workflow. For stand-alone sign orders nothing will change. If a sign order is marked as part of a workflow, the WYSIWYS UI will show a notification on the finish page that will remind the user that others still have to sign and they should download the final documents from the merchant´s website when everyone has signed.
