What would you do if you discover the contracts you used in running your online business were not legally binding? Picture this: You’re standing in a courtroom, defending yourself against an estranged client who says that the contract you both agreed to is not legally binding. You did absolutely nothing wrong, and you know that both parties signed. After looking over the contract, the judge rules in your ex-client’s favor. What!? Your contract was not valid after all. Now, let’s hope it never comes to this. But if it did, what could you possibly do? The truth? Probably nothing. The E-Sign industry has incredibly strict rules and regulations that all contracts, invoices, and agreement must abide to. If any of your forms were to come into question, your entire business could be put at risk. ApproveMe’s WP ESignature Plugin turns your Wordpress website into a court recognized legal document signing platform. Caldera Forms is an incredible plugin that can help automate tasks on your website. It’s great for what it specializes in, BUT, signing legally binding contracts it NOT their specialty...but it definitely is ours. The Digital Signature Add-On for Caldera Forms guarantees that every contract, form or invoice submitted with the plugin is 100% UETA/ESIGN compliant. You will never again have to question the legality of your forms...and you won’t ever need to pay for a third-party signing service. Our team has invested a lot (like, a lot) of time learning how to build a system that follows all the rules. And not just the ones here. We created this plugin to be used in any country where e-signing is in practice. We give you the power to control your user experience, and to protect yourself and your customer. Click Here to Try Caldera Forms Signature Demo Other E-Signature Plugins just record the details of signatures. They submit the data to a web server where it’s converted to an image file that gets saved on your FTP server. This image file — your client’s hand written legal signature — is made easily accessible to FTP hackers. Most of these other plugins aren’t legally binding (and definitely not UETA/ESIGN compliant) because they don’t address all the laws and regulations! If there was ever a dispute over your contract, you would be in some serious trouble. And if you or a client was ever a victim of fraud or identify theft, you’d only have non-binding contracts to stand out...which is the same as having nothing at all. Don’t take a chance. The Powerful Features of ApproveMe’s Digital Signature Add-On for Caldera Forms: UETA/ESIGN Compliance We make sure our plugin is always 100% compliant with the most up-to-date e-signing rules and regulations. You can rest easy knowing that any document signed with our plugin will stand up in court. Unique Signer Invitations Signed PDF documents are not openly available for download like other plugins. Only when the sender is logged in and the signer uses a unique invitation can a signed PDF be downloaded. Extra security to ensure no unauthorized persons see your contract. Encrypted Data Storage We’ll never store your data on a FTP server that is open to intruders like other plugins. Instead, we encrypt and store your data in different strategic locations in your database. Everything from your document data to your custom input fields is guaranteed secure. If an intruder even tried to unencrpyt any of your data, the entire document would destroy itself. We have invested heavily in the security of this plugin. Instant Trigger Contracts Move your clients down the funnel without getting lost. Redirect signers to a contract immediately after submitting their data in forms. Make sure your contract gets signed right away. Responsive Design Mobile signing is here. Our platform works seamlessly with all desktop and mobile browsers for Android and iOS including Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Dynamic Form Fields Customize your contract with your signer’s info. Even complex forms can sync with your contract. Signing Reminder Emails Automatic reminder emails give that gentle nudge when a client hasn’t yet signed. You choose the trigger date and the frequency. Zero Monthly Fees Per User + Unlimited Users Everyone on your team can use the plugin. And feel free to create as many contracts as you like. No limits, no hidden fees. Ever. Secure your contracts and rest easy. click here for a demo Need Customer Support?

With an active ApproveMe business license, you can instantly produce a legally binding (court accepted) contract utilizing completed Caldera Forms data and require your Caldera Forms submitter to add their signature on your WP E Signature generated contract. This plugin is perfect for Freelancers, Small Business Owners, Web Designers, and Artists who want to simplify their contract generation process. Get started by following these simple Caldera Forms Signature Plugin setup steps Step 1: ApproveMe's WP E Signature requires a few more plugins/add-ons to help you release the full power and automate Caldera Forms as well as Digital Signatures that are legally binding. The following plugins are required:

1. Caldera Forms
2. WP E Signature (ultimate, business or pro license)
3. E-Signature Business Pack (comes with your license above)
4. Signature Add-On by ApproveMe (this plugin)

Step 2: Input your ApproveMe license After buying a business license from ApproveMe, you must input your new license key to launch upgrades and access technical support. Log into your account to download your license key ApproveMe account here (your password is included in the receipt emailed to you) Step 3: Set up a blank WordPress page Once the WP eSignature plugins and add-ons have been installed and your configurations are saved, you must set up a blank WordPress webpage for every Stand Alone Document (or contract) you will be producing/sending to your form submitters. Discover more about Stand Alone Documents by visiting this helpful article Step 4: Set up a Stand Alone Document Using your new blank WordPress page, you will then need to produce a Stand Alone Document and then connect the WordPress page to our Stand Alone Document. Find out more about Stand Alone Documents by visiting documentation page for this add-on. Step 5: (optional) Input Caldera Form User Details into a Contract This step will be different depending on the desired outcome you want. Approve Me's Digital Signature is triggered once a Caldera Form is submitted. This add-on gives you the power to incorporate Caldera Form user info (which was inputted from the customer once the form was submitted) into a brand new contract form which will either be emailed to the customer or shown to the customer after they submit the form. How to use Caldera Forms to add form fields details into a contract Go to the Signer Input Fields/Custom Fields symbol and choose "Caldera Form Data". Choose the Caldera Form that you’ve already made (and want to link with your contract form) using the drop down option list. Pick the field info you want to include in your new contract. A shortcode is created using this data. (Don’t worry — your customer will only see the real field value when signing your contract.) This is an example of the auto-generated shortcode which will get placed in the document you are producing when you select your desired field value from your Caldera Form [esigcaldera formid="3" field_id="1" ] You can easily transfer the shortcode to any place in your contract form. It will show the customer’s provided info anywhere the shortcode is found. Step 6: Select your document preferences and save settings When you have inserted all of your required contract text and have linked your preferred Caldera Forms field data to your Stand Alone Document, you’re ready to choose your document settings. Important note: Before you can post your contract form, you must link your Stand Alone Document to the blank WordPress webpage you made previously for your contract. Do this by looking for and choosing the webpage from the "Display on this page" drop down option list found under the "Document Options" area. We decided NOT to include this page in your nav menu since it will be connected to a Caldera Form and will not work properly unless it has the field values of that submitted Caldera Form. Step 7: Almost there… (halfway done) Once you've published your Stand Alone Document, you’re halfway done. In the next step you have to pick your "trigger" and "action" selections for this document in Caldera Forms. Select LET'S GO NOW! to establish those final Caldera Forms preferences. Step 8: Finalize creating the Caldera Form workflow/trigger We’re coming to the end! Now all you need to do is select your contract and your preferred actions once the workflow is activated. Go to the "Forms" tab located in the WordPress control panel. Select the form you attached to the Stand Alone Document. Choose the "E-Signature" choice within the form options and specify the remaining options. Now You're done!
