## Still using a separate tool to sign contracts online?

Request electronic signatures on any contract right inside Contracko. Add signatories, set the signing order, and watch every signature land, then keep managing the agreement in the same place after it is signed.

### Request a signature on any contract

Start a signature request on any contract. Upload one or more PDF or Word documents, name the request, and Contracko combines them into a single signing flow.

### Add signatories and set the signing order

Add signatories from your existing party contacts or by typing an email, with an optional message included in every invitation. Turn on sequential signing so each person is invited in turn.

### Place fields and send, no third-party redirect

Drop signature, date, text, checkbox, and other fields onto the document in the built-in field editor. Send, and each signer gets a secure link to sign in their browser, with no Contracko account required.

### Track status and keep the signed record on the contract

Follow every request from sent to viewed, signed, declined, and completed. Send reminders or cancel a request. On completion the signed document and a completion record are stored on the contract, with each step logged in the audit trail.

### Legally binding, built for ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS

Your signed documents are built to meet the main electronic-signature laws: the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States and eIDAS in the EU. Signer authentication, captured intent, and a full audit trail back every signature, and any later change to a signed document can be detected.

## Integrate with the tools you already use

Your contracts come from a dozen places. Contracko picks them up, then lets you send any of them for signature without leaving your stack.

## Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about this feature.

- **Q:** Do signers need a Contracko account?
  **A:** No. Signers receive a secure link by email and sign in their browser on a signing pad. No account or login is required.

- **Q:** Can I add more than one signatory?
  **A:** Yes. Add as many signatories as you need, from your existing party contacts or by entering an email manually, and set a signing order when signatures must happen in sequence.

- **Q:** How does signing order work?
  **A:** With sequential signing, each signer is notified in turn. The next signer is invited automatically once the previous one completes.

- **Q:** What happens when everyone has signed?
  **A:** Everyone receives a completion email, and the signed document plus a completion record are stored on the contract. If a signer declines, you and the other signers are notified.

- **Q:** Is e-signature included in my plan?
  **A:** Your free trial includes one signature request so you can try it end to end. Paid plans include unlimited signatures within your active contracts limit.

- **Q:** Are Contracko e-signatures legally binding?
  **A:** Yes. Our e-signatures are built to meet the main electronic-signature laws: the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States, and eIDAS in the EU (simple electronic signature). Signers are authenticated by email, their intent is captured, every step is logged in an audit trail, and the signed document is stored on the contract so any later change can be detected. For signing across other jurisdictions, check the rules that apply where you operate.

- **Q:** Do I need separate contract signing software?
  **A:** No. E-signature is built into Contracko, so you can sign contracts online without a separate tool. If your team already uses tools like DocuSign or Dropbox Sign, you can connect them through our integrations, but we recommend signing directly in Contracko to keep everything in one place and avoid paying for a second subscription.
