Signing Experience
When you send an agreement, your recipients take it from there. This section covers what the signing experience looks like for them, how they access the document, what they see, and what happens when they're done.
Three Ways to Sign
Propper Sign supports three signing methods. You choose when setting up the agreement.
- Email signing, Recipients get an email with a secure link. They click it, open the document in their browser, and sign. No account needed. This is the default for most agreements.
- Embedded signing, Signing happens inside your own application. Your team integrates the signing flow so recipients never leave your product.
- In-person signing, You host the signing session on your device, face-to-face with the signer. Common in retail, branch offices, or anywhere the signer is physically present.
What Recipients Experience
Regardless of how they access the document, every recipient goes through the same core flow:
- Open the agreement, via email link, your app, or a hosted device.
- Verify identity, if you configured identity verification, they complete that step first.
- Review and fill in, the interface guides them through required fields in order. They can also scroll freely.
- Sign, they adopt a signature and apply it.
- Done, they see a confirmation screen and receive a completed copy by email.
Signing progress is saved automatically, so recipients can close the browser and return later without losing their work, as long as the agreement hasn't expired.
