Why use Paperform for certification applications?

Payment processing: Collect application fees, exam fees, and annual licensing dues directly through the form using Stripe, PayPal, or Square integration. Set different fee structures for new applicants versus renewals.

AI-powered efficiency: Use Paperform's AI capabilities to analyze application trends, identify common gaps in submissions, and generate summary reports for review committees.
