### Boarding field reference

The field explorer is a searchable, filterable reference for the fields in a merchant boarding application. You can filter by service type (Pay Ins, Managed Payouts, or On-Demand Payouts) and by requirement level (Required or Recommended). Each field shows its name, description, API path, data type, and which services require or recommend it.

Fields are organized into these groups: Application Setup, Business Information, Contact Information, Business Address, Mailing Address, Business Operations, Transaction Volumes, Payout Configuration, Owner Information, Owner Address, Bank Data, Card Services, ACH Services, ODP Services, Signer Information, Signer Address, and Compliance & Legal.
