Could you elaborate on this? I'd love to stop collecting signatures, but I can't imagine an alternative.

- tootie 3y agoChecking a box while logged in is unequivocally superior to e-signature. What are you actually solving with e-signature? What bank requires you to Docusign anything to create an account or authorize a transaction? Do you e-sign when you read the Apple terms of service? You could literally stop using Docusign and replace it with nothing. It's there for old-school lawyers to feel secure and not have to worry about precedent which stopped being relevant years ago. Clicking "accept" on a little popup is legally enforceable for GDPR. If you're doing contracts, how about a webform where you ask the signatories to answer 5 questions to prove they understand the terms then click submit? That is miles more legally defensible than an e-signature.
- calderwoodra 3y agoGotcha, so contracts are still necessary (red-lining, customer specific terms, retention, etc.) but e-signature should just be a checkbox. Is that right? If so, then yeah, I think that's fine except it doesn't obviate the need for DocuSign. The e-signature is probably just a relic/reflection of what users expect in order to add a layer of professionalism.
