Start, personalize, and send in seconds. Built to minimize clicks. Pages load instantly (no slow PDFs), and the {{placeholder}} fields make customization effortless. This flow works equally well for a handful of contracts or busy high volume teams.
How to start
From the Dashboard
On the Dashboard, pick the template you want to use and click "New contract" to open the send page.
Signers
Specify recipients & delivery
For each signer, add name, email, mobile, and title/company. Choose delivery: "Email", "SMS", "Email + SMS", "Email + SMS code (2FA)", "Share link + Email code" or "Share link + SMS code". With 2FA we email the invite and require a 6-digit SMS code on open. The "Share link" options also ask for a 6-digit code on open. You can set a Redirect URL to send each signer to a follow-up page after they sign.
Add signer
Up to 15 signers, no extra fee
Click "Add signer" to insert another recipient line. One contract, one fee, no matter how many signers share it.
Add myself
Self sign in one go
Add myself as signer appends you as the last signer. Tick Auto sign to let the system add your eSignature records automatically after everyone else signs.
CC
Send a PDF copy to anyone
Use "Add CC" to email the final PDF to stakeholders who aren’t signing. Signers and sender receive it by default.
Title
Tailor the contract title
Start with the template’s name and tweak it per contract to make the request crystal clear.
Content
Fill placeholders at speed
All template formatting tools are here. Replace {{placeholders}} by TAB-bing through them, or click the Placeholder fields icon for a quick fill form.
Preview
See it like a signer
Click Preview anytime to open a live mock up of the signing page.
Send test
Test for free, watermark included
Send demo contracts even after paying. They show a “Demo” watermark and skip consecutive reminder emails.
Save draft
Pick up where you left off
Save anytime via the menu or Ctrl+S. Drafts stay in your dashboard until you’re ready to send.
Bulk sending contracts
Best for
Thousands of personalized contracts in one paste
Paste a spreadsheet, map placeholders once, and send hundreds or thousands of contracts in one run. Supports up to 4 signers per row, optional 2‑factor SMS, and the same flat price per contract.
How to start
Bulk from the Dashboard
On the Dashboard, click the arrow beside "New contract" button and choose Bulk send contracts. Paste your signer rows into the grid to begin.
Grid
Paste straight from your spreadsheet
Copy rows from Excel/Sheets into the bulk grid, each row becomes its own contract. Columns: signer name, email, mobile, company, plus one column per {{placeholder field}} so every contract can carry personalised text at scale. Paste rows freely, the grid can handle 3,000 contracts at once.
Signer columns
Add up to 4 signers per contract
Click "Add signer columns" to insert Name / Email / Mobile / Company sets for additional signers (max four). Empty cells are ignored, so you can mix 1‑, 2‑, 3‑, and 4‑signer rows in the same upload.
2FA SMS code
Email invite + SMS code to open
When both email and mobile are present, tick "2‑factor SMS code" to require the signer to enter a 6‑digit code sent by SMS before signing the contract. This replaces sending full copies by both channels and adds a security step that increases signature strength.
Self sign
Auto‑counter‑sign every contract
Select "Append my signature" to have your electronic signature applied automatically once all listed signers complete their part. Ideal for bulk countersigning terms, waivers, or HR docs.
Start small
Send 10, then scale to thousands
Run a small batch first to confirm placeholder mapping and signer flow. Once the results look good, paste in the full spreadsheet and send at scale. Pricing remains one fee per contract, no volume penalty.
Ideal when the same agreement goes to many different people, event waivers, intake forms, registrations, and sign anytime policies. Publish once, then share the link, embed it, post a QR code, or drop it behind a button. Minimal per‑signer setup, each submission becomes its own contract.
How to start
Create from the Dashboard
On the Dashboard, click the arrow beside New contract and choose "Create a Contract link". Edit the content, adjust settings, and click Publish to go live. Use Publish (test) to generate a demo version first, re-publish as live whenever you’re ready.
Identification
Require Email or SMS code
Every signer must confirm identity. Select Email code or SMS code when configuring the Contract link, to avoid anonymous or spam submissions.
Second signer
Team approval built in
Route every completed form to a teammate. If you select yourself (link owner), turn on auto-sign to finish contracts the moment your signer does. Other teammates sign by email.
Post‑signing page
Thank‑you, custom message, or redirect
Show the default confirmation, write your own message, or redirect signers to any URL—checkout, next form, donation page, you decide.
CC documents
Automatic copies to anyone
Enter email addresses (comma‑separated) to deliver every completed PDF generated via this link.
Unpublish
Pause without deleting
Temporarily disable the link; no new signers can access it while unpublished. Existing signed records remain in your account.
QR code
Print, post, scan to sign
Each published Contract link displays a downloadable QR code. ideal for posters, kiosks, or in‑person registrations.
URL parameters
Pre‑fill placeholders & signer fields
Append query parameters to the link; matching {{placeholder}} fields fill automatically. Provide values for Signer Field IDs to pre‑populate form fields.
Metadata parameter
Attach an internal ID
Pass metadata=id123 URL parameter to map signed contracts back to your database.
Embed code
Drop into any site
Copy the provided HTML iframe snippet (or the auto‑resize version) to embed the signing flow directly in your website, portal, or app. You can still pass URL parameters to prefill {{placeholders}} and set default values for signer fields—exactly as with a public Contract Link.
Webhooks
Automation ready events
Every contract created via a Contract Link fires the same webhook notifications (sent, viewed, signed, withdrawn, etc.), so your downstream automations stay perfectly in sync.
Contract page
At a glance
All details, one dashboard card

Set up your templates
Mobile first
Mobile‑friendly content, always
Most contracts are opened on smartphones. eSignatures.com no longer supports sending static PDFs. Spend a few extra minutes on a responsive template and watch completion rates soar.
New template
Start from scratch or Convert a Word file
Begin from scratch or convert a Word file. Word imports jump‑start the layout, but you’ll still fine‑tune for mobile perfection.
Preview
See it like a signer
Click Preview any time to view the template exactly as a signer will.
Save
Save button, Ctrl+S, Auto-save
Manual save captures the latest draft. If your browser closes, auto‑save offers to restore unsaved edits next time you open the template.
Formatting
Rich editor tools
H1‑H3, bold/italic/underline, alignments, lists, tables, images, and PDF page breaks. Ordered lists auto‑nest (1. a. i.).
Placeholders
Fast personalisation & integrations
{{Double‑curly}} placeholders in green speed your workflow: press Tab to jump from one to the next or fill them all at once from the Placeholder Fields pop‑up. Unfilled placeholders simply disappear when the contract is generated, so you never show a raw {{token}} to a signer. Perfect for clean integrations with spreadsheets, Zapier, or the API.
Signer fields
Collect signer input
Add text, multiline, date, dropdown, checkbox, radio, or file‑upload fields. Set whether the field is mandatory, define a default value, supply placeholder text, and assign a unique Signer field ID for API and CSV integrations in the right hand side toolbox when editing the template.
Signature fields
Automatic & complete
The final PDF’s last page already includes each signer’s name, signing date, IP address, and a full audit trail, so the separate “Name” or “Date” boxes can be left out of the templates entirely.
PDF Export
Generate a sample PDF

Share a link so external collaborators can update the template without an eSignatures.com login.
Labels
Organise at scale
Tag templates with labels. Labels flow to contracts and appear in dashboards and webhooks, signers can't see them.
API, Zapier, Make automation
Best for
Hands off sending, instant status, zero busywork

Placeholder fields
Swiss‑knife flexibility
Zapier and Make let you drop values straight into {{placeholders}} for quick personalisation. Need more? The API can feed a single placeholder an entire array of elements: headers, tables, extra signer fields, even other templates, for fully dynamic documents.
Delivery controls
Your channels, your rules (API)
Decide which notifications to send and which to skip programmatically: email, SMS, both, embedded, or link‑only. Require 6‑digit verification codes when preferred. Adjust which email notifications to send and which ones to skip.
Embedded signing
Seamless in‑app experience (API)
Drop a signer’s unique sign_page_url in an <iframe> and the entire signing flow lives inside your portal or mobile app. No redirects, no lost conversions. Add embedded=yes to show a vanilla page that matches your branding.
Webhooks
Realtime insight for every event
We’ll POST JSON requests whenever a contract moves, viewed, signed, withdrawn, or individual signer events. Webhooks are triggered regardless of whether the contract was originated from the Dashboard, Bulk send, a Contract Link, Zapier, Make or the API. For the API set up your HTTPS endpoint on your Automation&API page.

Our service no longer supports sending fixed PDF or Word files, as they perform poorly on mobile devices, which is where most contracts are opened. Instead, we provide a streamlined template editor that lets you create mobile-friendly contracts. You can either convert your Word document or paste the content directly into the editor.
Why are mobile friendly contracts better than PDF signers like DocuSign?
PDF signing is from 1997, it's the technology of the past. PDF means pinch‑zooming, slow loads, broken fields and broken layouts. A responsive, text based contract opens instantly on any phone or desktop, lifts completion rates, and lets your brand set the right tone. Faster sends, fewer drop-offs. A much cleaner modern UX wins every time, on a single high stakes deal, or when addressing a large number of contracts.
Privacy: do you analyse, sell, or otherwise use our contract content?
We don’t. Your contracts aren’t mined, profiled, or resold in any form. Our Privacy Policy makes it explicit: we store and deliver your contracts, nothing more. Your data stays yours.
What's the best way to get started?
Create an account for free, then send yourself a demo contract to see the full loop from “Send” to “Signed”. Next, spend 2–3 minutes creating your first template, and set up your branding (logo, colours). When you’re ready to go live, make a payment and start sending for real.
Which e‑signature laws and acts does eSignatures.com comply with?
Ccontracts issued via eSignatures.com are legally binding for almost any business or personal transaction worldwide. We comply with: US ESIGN (2000) and UETA, HIPAA, EU eIDAS (Electronic Signature only—not Advanced or Qualified), UK eIDAS & ECA, Canada’s UECA, Australia’s ETA, New Zealand’s ETA, South Africa’s ECTA, GDPR and more. Your agreement stands up under all major legal frameworks.
Are you ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. Our information security management system is ISO 27001 certified. Independently audited and maintained, so your contracts sit on infrastructure that meets a globally recognised security standard.
Do you have a referral programme?
Absolutely. Share your personal referral link and when a new customer makes their first payment, both of you receive a 50% credit bonus. Ready to earn ongoing revenue? Apply for our Lifetime Partner tier and collect 20% of every future payment that customer makes—forever.
Do you offer a discount for non‑profit organisations?
Simply email a government issued proof of non‑profit status to support@esignatures.com and we’ll unlock a permanent 40% charity rate on your account.
If a contract runs 20 pages and needs 5 signatories, how is it priced?
It’s still a single flat fee—one contract, one charge, no extra costs for length or number of signers.
Can I choose a different language for individual contracts?
When you send from the Dashboard, the signer language follows your global setting, but contracts fired through the API, Zapier, or Make can each carry their own language. Per‑send flexibility at its best.
Can i add an image signature to my documents before sending it to clients?
Insert your signature image while editing the template: click the Image icon on the right‑hand toolbar and drop it where you want it to appear. Prefer a streamlined flow? After opening a new contract, hit "Add myself as a signer" and tick "Auto sign". Your e‑signature record will be stamped on the PDF the moment everyone else signs.
How can signers confirm or “initial” specific sections of a contract?
Insert a Mandatory "Checkbox" Signer field wherever you need explicit confirmation. Signers must tick it before they can finish signing. Example label: “I hereby acknowledge that I’ve read and understood the above conditions.”
How can signers “sign” multiple specific spots in the document?
No, we use a single, legal signature at the end to sign the entire document. Multi-autograph boxes are not supported. If you need section-by-section confirmation, add Mandatory Checkbox (or other signer fields) right where you want acknowledgment. The final PDF and audit trail already capture name, date, IP, and every box ticked, so extra signature blocks aren’t required.
How do I create multiple radiobutton choices for signers?
Add the Radio button Signer field in the template editor, then immediately add the next Radio button field beneath it. Consecutive Radio button fields link automatically, so signers can select only one option in the group.
Can I send multiple contracts to a signer in one request?
One request is one contract. If you need to deliver a pack, merge the documents into a single mobile friendly template (sections, placeholders, checkboxes) or fire a quick sequence via Bulk, API, or Zapier. Each contract gets its own audit trail and pricing still stays flat per send.
How do I redirect signers after they finish signing when I’m using the API, Zapier, or Make.com?
Assign a Redirect URL for each signer in your payload or Zap. Once the signature is complete, we automatically send that signer to their specified link.
How should a mobile number be formatted for SMS?
Enter it in international E.164 format, +country code followed by the number, with no leading zeros. Example: +41791234567.
What’s the recommended logo size?
Your logo appears in emails, sign pages, and the final PDF. The platform scales by height, so trimming blank space above and below the artwork will maximise visible size. Width adjusts automatically.
How do I add an image through a placeholder field?
Pass a base‑64–encoded image as the value for the {{placeholder}} when you call the API. The image will render in the contract exactly where that placeholder sits. No extra steps required.
Are any placeholder fields filled in automatically, like signer name or date?
Placeholders stay empty unless you (or an integration such as the API, Zapier, Make, or the Bulk grid) pass a value for each specific field.
What’s the difference between Placeholder fields and Signer fields?
No, the {{Placeholders}} are for you, the sender, to prefill and personalise the contract before it goes out. Signer fields are for the signers, your clients, to enter info while signing. Text, dates, checkboxes, uploads and more. Placeholders speed your prep, while signer fields for your clients to fill in.
Can signer fields have default values so signers don’t have to type them?
Yes. Set defaults in the template editor, or override them per contract via the API, Zapier, or Make. Using Contract Links? Pre-fill the same fields with URL parameters. Signers can still edit if you leave the field optional.
Can I insert raw HTML into contracts?
No—contracts don’t accept raw HTML. To keep pages secure and perfectly mobile‑friendly, use the editor or API to add structured elements (headings, paragraphs, tables, images, signer fields). For dynamic content, pass those elements via placeholders and we’ll render them in the right spots.
Can signer fields be inline?
No. Signer fields always span the full line, on purpose. Full width inputs stay readable, tappable, and consistent on phones, which means fewer errors and faster completion.
Can I customize table styles?
Tables use a fixed, clean style (single‑line borders and consistent spacing) to keep documents readable on mobile. These visual styles can’t be changed. You can format text inside cells (bold, italic, underline), set alignment (left/centre/right), and resize columns by dragging in the template editor.
How can I insert hyperlinks into templates?
Just type the full URL starting with https:// and it becomes a clickable link everywhere. Editor, emails, sign page, and PDF.
Can I create a template from an existing contract?
Not in one click. Open the contract, copy the content (Ctrl+C), then create a new template and paste (Ctrl+V). You can copy/paste the content between contracts, templates, and Contract Links.
What delivery options are available when sending from the Dashboard?
On the Dashboard you choose a "Via" method per signer: "Email" (a secret link by email), "SMS" (a secret link by text), "Email + SMS" (the link goes out over both), "Email + SMS code" (email invite; a 6-digit SMS code is required on open), "Share link + SMS code" (you share a link; the signer verifies with a 6-digit SMS code), or "Share link + email code" (you share a link; the signer verifies with a 6-digit code sent by email). Secret links identify the signer; the verification code options add an extra verification step.
Is there a way to include a PDF as part of the contract?
Not as an attachment. Make it binding by integrating the text directly into your template, or you can simply reference the file with a hyperlink if it doesn’t need to live in the contract body.
How can I change the email content for reminders?
While editing your template, click the Email️ icon to open the custom email popup. Update the subject and body there; reminder emails automatically reuse that text, so one edit covers every follow up.
Where can I find signer‑uploaded files that are too large for the notification email?
Simply navigate to the contract's detail page. Next to each signer you’ll see their field values and a download link for every file they uploaded, even images that were too large to attach to the email.
What’s the signing order?
By default it’s sequential in the order you add signers. #1 first, then #2, and so on. To invite everyone at once from the Dashboard, select "Send at the same" time when sending. If you’re using the API, you can set any order you like (including parallel invites).
Can I change a signer’s delivery method after the contract is sent?
Yes. Open the contract page, click Edit next to the signer, and pick a new method—Email, SMS, Email + SMS, Email + SMS code, Share-link + SMS code, or Share-link + email code. If you choose a share-link option, the personalised link appears instantly on the contract page for you to copy
How do I sign a contract when I’m one of the signers?
Two ways: (1) follow the normal invite—open the email/SMS link and sign; or (2) on the contract page click "Sign the document" (available when the signer’s email matches your account email).
How can a signer decline a contract?
On the sign page, they’ll see a Decline link just beneath the Sign button. Clicking it, entering a brief reason, and confirming will mark the contract as declined and automatically withdraw it.
Who can sign a Contract Link?
Anyone with the link can open the page and, after passing the required email or SMS verification, sign. For clean records and security, share Contract Links only with intended recipients (not publicly).
Can you sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes, simply contact our support team and we’ll get a BAA in place.
Why does “Demo” still appear after I’ve paid?
Most likely that contract was created before you paid, so it stays Demo. New contracts created after payment are live. If you did create it after paying and it’s still Demo, check your integration (API / Zapier / Make): a "Test":"yes" flag.
Where can I find archived agreements?
On your Dashboard, click the filter above the contract list and select Archived. Every retired agreement appears there, ready to view or download whenever you need it.
How can I restore an archived document?
Open the contract’s detail page and click "Restore" at the top. The document moves back from Archived status.
I accidentally deleted a draft contract, can I recover it?
Sorry, no. Once a draft is deleted, it’s removed for good—we don’t keep hidden backups, so there’s nothing left to restore.
Can I convert a Demo contract to live?
No, the demo stays demo. To go live, open the contract, click Clone, review placeholders, and you can send the new one as live.
Can I export the list of contracts?
On the Dashboard, click the Export icon above the list to download CSVs in two formats: Contracts (one row per contract with contract details and all signers) or Signers (one row per signer, including what they entered in Signer fields).
Can I trigger contracts from the browser using the API?
The API blocks browser requests by CORS because your secret token must never be exposed. You can call the API from your backend (or use Contract Links, Zapier, or Make) and pass the result to the browser.
Why does my API syntax differ between an old and a new eSignatures.com account?
New accounts default to the latest API, while older accounts stay pinned to their original version for backward compatibility, so endpoints or fields can differ. If you want your new account set to the older version (or to upgrade an old account), contact our support team and we’ll align them.
Is pricing always shown in USD?
If you’re logging in from Australia, Canada, or New Zealand the dashboard automatically switches to AUD, CAD, or NZD and bills you in that currency.
Can I start with less than $50?
The minimum top‑up is $50, but feel free to contact our support team if you need an exception.
Can I request a refund for purchased credits?
Credits are final sale. If you topped up very recently and haven’t sent any live contracts, contact support and we’ll refund the payment, minus processing fees.
If I delete a user, will the contracts they sent or signed remain?
Yes. All contracts they created or signed stay in your account and in the audit trail; only their user access is removed.
I can’t log in, what should I do?
Go to the login page and click "Reset password". If the reset email never shows up, you probably registered with a different address, search all your inboxes (and spam) for our welcome email to confirm the correct one. Try resetting with that address. Still stuck? Contact our support team and we’ll match things up.
Do you have a mobile app?
The entire platform is built mobile first, so just log in at esignatures.com in your phone’s browser and you’ll have the full feature set: send, sign, manage, and track without installing anything.
