Introduction

eSignStack lets you send documents for signature, track them, and keep the signed copies, from the app or your own software.

What you can do

  • Upload PDF, Office or image files, add recipients, place fields and send an envelope for signature
  • Ask people to sign, approve, acknowledge, or just get a copy, in any order you choose
  • Track progress, send reminders, fix mistakes and download completed documents with a signing certificate
  • Reuse layouts with templates, share direct links, and sign in person with kiosk mode
  • Send and track envelopes from your own app with the API, webhooks and embedded signing

Key terms

  • Envelope: what you send. It holds one or more documents, the recipients, and their fields.
  • Recipient: a person on an envelope. Each has a role: Signer, Approver, Needs to acknowledge, or Gets a copy.
  • Field: a place on a document for a signature, date, text or other input.
  • Template: a saved set of documents, roles and fields you can send again.
  • Workspace: where your envelopes, templates and members live. You can belong to more than one.
