Steps
Create the document normally (e.g., from a template) so it has at least one recipient.
Generate a signing session by calling the Create Document Session endpoint, specifying the recipient email and a lifetime — the response returns a sessionId.
On the client, install PandaDoc's embedded signing JS library and import its Signing component.
Instantiate the Signing component against a container element with the sessionId and a region option, then call its open method to render the signing iframe in the target container.
Subscribe to lifecycle events (e.g., document loaded, document completed, document exception) to drive your app's UI and post-completion logic.
Destroy the signing instance when the flow ends to release resources.
Known gotchas
Embedded signing sessions are explicitly different from PandaDoc shared links — sessions are short-lived and scoped to one document/recipient rather than a persistent public URL.
The region config matters: EU-hosted accounts must pass the EU region option or the session will fail to load; an older host field is deprecated in favor of region.
Passcode verification and some recipient-verification methods are not compatible with certain embedded signing configurations — check the identity-verification docs before combining features.
