Please note you will need the following plugins installed to completely automate the collection of contracts using Gravity Forms and WP E-Signature.
- Gravity Forms
- WP E-Signature (Elite or Lifetime license)
- Stand Alone Document (comes with above licenses)
*A Elite or Lifetime license is required and can be purchased at www.approveme.com
What would you do if you found out the contracts you use to run and operate your business were not legally binding?
What if you and your client were in a courtroom only to find out that the digital signature used on your contract was not signed with a compliant e-signature application?
The legal industry is a highly regulated industry that has strict laws and regulations around the electronic signature and digital signature submission process.
How is this Signature Add-On different than the Gravity Forms Signature Add-on by Rocket Genius?
WordPress Form Plugins like Gravity Forms are absolutely fantastic! You can create some amazing and incredible WordPress workflows using their powerful WordPress Forms plugin; However,
signing a legally binding contract is NOT Gravity Forms main focus (it is WP E-Signature’s SOLE focus). We have spent years developing a platform that adheres to the strict
UETA and ESIGN national and international document signing guidelines.
Most WordPress contract plugins and signature add-ons out there are not legally binding let alone UETA/ESIGN compliant (they do not adhere to the strict laws and regulations in the document singing industry). These typical signature add-ons, only “capture signature information as it is drawn and sends data to your web server where this information is converted into a PNG image and stored on your server.”
This method, exposes you and your signers legal signature on the ftp server where your WordPress website lives.
In other words the png files most signature add-ons generate, of your client’s hand drawn legal signature (the same signature which is used to buy a house, apply for a credit card, take out a business loan) is available to ANY ftp intruder; putting both you and your signer at high risk for identity theft.
This Signature Plugin fills in the gap by making the e-signature process compliant with UETA/ESIGN regulations.
The new signature add-on by Approve Me is the bridge between a form generation plugin and having a UETA / ESIGN compliant document signing application that lives on your WordPress website.
Watch the video above to see how you can save time and money by completely automating contracts for your web design, photography, consulting or freelance business using our
Signature Add-On for Gravity Forms.
WP E-Signature by ApproveMe focuses 100% on legally binding contract signing (UETA & ESIGN compliant). No monthly fees. So you can use your website to sign contracts. It is by far the most customizable document singing application built for WordPress.
ApproveMe’s WP E-Signature adhere’s to the strictest electronic signature and digital signature regulations by encrypting, storing, and protecting your data in such in a way that is damn near difficult to retrieve from a database let alone manipulate a contract.
If the validity of a signature were to ever get questioned in a court room you would have peace of mind knowing that both you and your signer are protected by the ApproveMe verified seal.
If you’re wanting even more out of WP E-Signature, we have it! There are TONS of advanced features available for our Elite or Lifetime license holders. Our WordPress Contract Plugin is by far the easiest way to integrate a court recognized Gravity Forms Approval process into your WordPress website.
Signature Add-On for Gravity Forms by Approve Me allows you to capture court recognized signatures immediately after a user submits a Gravity Form by either emailing or redirecting the users that recently filled out your gravityform to a unique contract or agreement made specific for that user, requiring them to draw (or type) their electronic signature using a touchscreen device, touch pads or even a mouse.
With WP E-Signature (Elite or Lifetime) and this Digital Signature for GravityForms plugin you can automatically generate a contract for your customers to sign based on their form results from a Gravity Forms.
That’s just the start. Once customers sign…
…you and the customer will automatically receive a PDF of their signed contract.
…no need to register on an outside website (all signatures happen without leaving your site)
… you’ll have a 100% legally compliant signature on file to protect you AND the customer (according to UETA/ESIGN guidelines).
This e-signature add-on transforms your WordPress website into a court-recognized document signing application (but without the monthly fees... and with unlimited users).
- Perfect for those wanting to automate the collection of signatures on proposals, estimates, timesheets, terms of service agreements, new client contracts, waiver forms and more!
Automatically require your WordPress visitors to sign a legally binding agreement after submitting a gravity form.
Quickly and easily add court recognized contract signing capabilities into your WordPress website using this Signature Add-on for Gravity Forms and ApproveMe’s WP E-Signature (Elite or Lifetime license). Gone are the days of sending your signers to an unrelated third party website just so they can sign your web design, photography, consulting or freelance contract. The form submitter will never have to leave your website or heaven forbid install any special browser plugins, add-ons or extensions to sign your contract.
With ApproveMe’s WP E-Signature and their new Signature Add-On for Gravity Forms you can create a legally binding contract that is tailored 100% to the user that just submitted your Form.
Do the smart thing. Don’t get caught in a courtroom with a document that’s not legally binding.
Transform one single page of your existing WordPress website into a secure document and electronic signature application. WP Digital E-Signature by ApproveMe, is a legally binding Wordpress Contract Plugin, that’s easy to use.

e-signature automations and
third-party integrations to further enhance your custom document signing needs.

In additional to being incredibly easy to use, ApproveMe’s Signature Add-on for Gravity Forms WordPress can automatically insert data that was submitted from a Gravity Form into a UETA/ESIGN compliant and court recognized contract using your very own WordPress website.
So if you have a dropdown menu in your Gravity Form called “Web Design Package” and you offer a few different packages (each with a different price point) you can easily create a contract that includes the package details of an order in the contract that gets sent to your Gravity Form end-user.
WP E-Signature is significantly different than the current signature add-on offered by Gravity Forms as it gives Gravity users the power (and leverage) to host their own document signing application that hooks into Gravity Form results and triggers on-demand legal contracts (that are compliant with all the document signing e-signature laws and regulations).

See how the audit trail can protect you and your signers
Document Signing Automation
If you do business online, customers probably have to sign an agreement or an online contract. Problem is a paper agreement doesn’t hold up if your business is an online business and your customers are online customers. You can try mailing or even scanning a contract to your digital customers which costs you time and money, in the meantime you have the risk of losing your customer because of the added delay.
What you need is WP E-Signature. WP E-Signature lets you customize the signing process for what you need with no monthly fees. With a comprehensive marketplace of add-on extensions including Save as PDF, Dropbox Sync, Signer Input Fields, and dozens more which make it easy to automate and customize your document signing process.
WP E-Signature works with any WordPress website, including the default WordPress themes. If you need help installing WordPress E-Signature check out our
getting started docs and start signing documents using your WordPress website. Looking to get WordPress Proposals signed? We got you covered!
If you're looking for a tailored WordPress eSigning integration or add-on designed specifically to be used for your document signing needs be sure to browse the official
WP E-Signature Business Add-On Extensions which come with an Lifetime or Elite license. If you don’t see the integrations you need… let us know.
You could also use a third party document signing service but they charge monthly fees and what’s worst, your customers are forced to create an account on an unrelated website just to sign your companies documents.

How it Works:
Try a demo of the Signature Add-on for Gravity Forms Here
- The Signature Add-On for Gravity Forms plugin is incredibly easy to setup. Once you have a valid ApproveMe business license you can easily (and automatically) generate a legally binding (court recognized) contract using submitted GravityForm data and require your Gravity Form submitter sign your WordPress contract.*
This plugin is fantastic for Freelancers, Web Designers, Photographers and Small Business owners that are looking to streamline their contract creation process.
Follow these easy Gravity Forms Digital Signature Plugin steps to get started
Step 1:
ApproveMe's WP E-Signature requires a few more plugins/add-ons so you can unlock the power and automate Gravity Forms and legally binding Digital Signatures. You'll need to download the following:
Please note you will need the following plugins installed to completely automate the collection of contracts using Gravity Forms and WP E-Signature.
- Gravity Forms
- WP E-Signature (Elite or Lifetime license)
- Stand Alone Document (comes with above licenses)
*A Lifetime or Elite license is required and can be purchased at
www.approveme.com
Step 2:
Enter your ApproveMe license
Once you have purchased a business license from ApproveMe you will need to enter your license key to activate updates and support.
To download your license key you can log into your
ApproveMe account here (password was emailed with your receipt)
Step 3:
Create a blank WordPress page
After the ApproveMe plugins are installed and your settings saved you will need to create a blank/empty WordPress page for each Stand Alone Document (or agreement) that you will be creating.
To learn about Stand Alone Documents you can visit this
helpful article
Step 4:
Create a Stand Alone Document
Ok you're doing great! You're almost there... now that you've created a blank WordPress page we need to create a Stand Alone Document and then attach that WordPress page to our Stand Alone Document.
To learn more about Stand Alone Documents checkout the
documentation page for this add-on.
Step 5:
(optional) Insert Gravity Form User Data into a Contract
This step will vary based on your desired outcome. Digital signature by Approve Me is triggered when a Gravity Form is submitted. This add-on gives you the ability to integrate Gravity Form user data (that was inputted from the user when the form was submitted) into a new contract that will either be emailed to the user or will be displayed to the user after they submit you form.
To insert data into a Gravity Form, you will need the
Custom Fields feature enabled by ApproveMe (it’s included with your license).
How to add form fields data into a contract using Gravity Forms
Navigate to the Signer Input Fields/Custom Fields icon and select "Gravity Form Data".
Select the Gravity Form that you have already created (and would like to connect to your contract) using the dropdown menu.
Choose the field data that you would like to insert into your new contract.
A shortcode will be generated with this information. Don't worry though, the actual field value that your user enters will be displayed in its place once they signing your contract.
This is an example of the auto-generated shortcode that will get inserted into the document you are creating after you select your desired field data from your Gravity Form.
[esiggravity formid="3" field_id="1" ]
You can move the shortcode that gets generated automatically, anywhere in your contract and it will display the user's submitted data wherever you have the shortcode located in your contract.
Step 6:
Choose your document options and save settings
After you have entered all of your desired contract text and have connected your desired Gravity Forms field results to your Stand Alone Document, you are ready to choose/define your document options.
Please Note: Before you can publish your contract, you will also need to connect your Stand Alone Document with the blank WordPress page you created earlier for your contract. You can do so by searching for and selecting the page from the "Display on this page" dropdown menu located under the "Document Options" section.
Step 7:
Almost there... you're 50% complete
Once you've published your Stand Alone Document you are 50% complete. The next step is you will need to choose your "trigger" and "action" options for this document in gravity forms.
Click LET'S GO NOW! to define those last Gravity Form settings.
Step 8:
Finish setting up the Gravity Form workflow/trigger
You're so close to being finished! Now you just need to choose your contract and the your desired actions for when this workflow is triggered.
Navigate to the "Forms" tab found in the WordPress dashboard.
Choose the form that you attached the Stand Alone Document.
Select the "WP E-Signature" option found in the form settings and define the remainder settings.
That's it!
