Four ways to get a document signed

For everyone.

What the video covers

SignSealer gets your agreements signed — waivers, rental contracts, consent forms — and keeps a sealed record of each one that anybody can check. This video walks through it in three parts: making the document, the four ways to get it signed, and then following it up and proving it. Everything starts here, on the Overview.

The first option is a PDF — a contract, a waiver, a rental agreement you already use. Choose the file, give it a name, and say what kind of document it is. When you press Prepare, each page is drawn in your own browser, on your machine rather than on a server.

Then show people where to sign. Pick a question from the list, the guest's signature first, and drag a box onto the page where it belongs, on the signature line. Place it, then do the same for the date. The signer fills in every box in that exact spot, and the signed copy is your own file with their answers drawn on it.

The second option is to write the document here, in an editor that behaves like the one you already use. Give it a name, and type the wording. Anything in double curly brackets, like the guest's name or the date, becomes a blank that is filled in for each person you send it to.

The third option: describe what you need, and have a first draft written for you. It is a starting point, not legal advice — a lawyer should read it before you use it, and the screen says so.

The first two ways start from Send. Choose the document, and fill in the blanks for this booking: the guest's name and the date. Then add the person who signs, with an email address, a mobile number, or both. Each signer gets a private link of their own, and nothing goes out until you press Send.

The third way is a QR code, for people who walk in. Open Forms and QR, and print the code on a counter card. A customer scans it with their own phone, fills in the form and signs it there, with nothing for you to send. The same form has a web address too, so you can link to it from your own website.

The fourth way is a tablet at your desk. Add it here and give it a name, then type the code it shows into the SignSealer app. The tablet opens on one document and stays there, clearing itself for the next person after every signature.

Every document you send lands in Documents. Each row shows who it went to, whether they have signed, and which signers you are still waiting on.

The Unsigned page answers the question you will ask most: who has not signed yet. Send a reminder to one person, or to everybody on the list at once.

And every signed document comes with a certificate. Anybody holding its code can check it on this page, without an account, and see who signed and when.

One more thing, if you have a website or build your own software. The WordPress plugin sends documents from your site and shows who has signed, and the API and its SDK do the same from your own code. It all lives under Developers: keys, webhooks, the apps you have connected, and the documentation, with a guide for each.
