Questions about switching
Can I bring my templates with me?
Yes. Upload your documents as PDFs (a Word file or a photo is converted to PDF on upload), place Signature, Initials, Date, Date Signed, Text and Checkbox fields, and assign them to numbered signer roles. Agreement templates can also be written as words, with starter wording, so no PDF is needed.
How do my signers prove who they are?
Each signer can have their own access code that is never emailed, with a lockout after five wrong tries. Before signing you can also require an ID check with liveness, or ID plus AML screening, for every signer or only people outside the business.
Can people sign at my counter or from a link?
Yes. A signer can sign on a tablet at the counter and get the signed copy by email, by text, or on their own phone by QR code. A waiver or release template can also have an open signing link and QR code that anyone can use.
