How does the e-Signing work and what is the pricing?
We chose Assently as our first partner because our customers like their advanced signature methods, easiness of use and their affordable pricing. However, their approach is a bit different, because they add all signatures to the last page, as the placement of the signature in most cases is irrelevant to the validity of the signed document (both ways have the same legal validity). This way if you have, for instance, multiple documents within one contract, all pages are securely hashed (uniquely fingerprinted) and all the signers’ names are on the last page. This works in most cases and is extremely straightforward and clear to use.
However, there are sometimes cases when users want to choose the placement of the signatures, and thus we integrated Adobe Sign and DocuSign into our service. Before you send the documents for signing with Adobe Sign or DocuSign, check the box "Customize document before sending". Then you are able to choose the place for the signatures and add custom fields for the signers to fill in.
