Thank you Troy! We are thrilled to hear your WP E-Signature & WooCommerce integration is easy to use (and that you’ve been able to save some trees). Let us know if there is ever anything that we can do to help!

Hi Fgaivao! It sounds like you’re looking to set up somewhat of a contract workflow/automation (where your signer can add their signature + possibly input some Contact Form 7 field data on the PDF).

There’s a few PDF Workflow options in WordPress to do this. You could also use this Contact Form 7 Digital Signature add-on (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/digital-signature-contact-form-7-addon/) to generate the signature and PDF portion of the contract (while still using this PDF plugin if you didn’t need signatures). The plugin above has UETA/ESIGN and GDPR Compliant capabilities.

Let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help.

Hey Spencer!

Thanks so much for reaching out to us with your feedback. Feedback is crucial to our growth, so I really appreciate you taking the time to provide it. ??

I’m sorry about the confusion here! It is never our intention to mislead anyone or make our plugin seem like something that it’s not.

The plugins on the www.ads-software.com repository are actually what we call ‘bridge’ plugins that connect WP E-Signature with the other plugins that we integrate with, which is why we offer them for free. In order to use these plugins, you’ll need our WP E-Signature plugin (with an active license), the ‘bridge’ plugin that you mentioned and the main form integration plugin that you’re looking to integrate with.

I’m sorry if this wasn’t clear to you from this page. I will definitely chat with my team to see how we can improve this experience and avoid future confusion.

If you have any other feedback for me please let me know. I’d love to hear it! You can hit us up at https://www.approveme.com/contact and we’d be happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks again for helping our business improve. I hope you have an excellent weekend!

Kind Regards,

Hey therealnv!

Thanks so much for your feedback! It really helps our business improve, so thanks for taking the time to provide it. ??

I’m sorry you feel the pricing on the license packages is high. Our goal is to provide the least expensive, legally binding, UETA/ESIGN compliant WP plugin that we can! Considering that you can use our Business and Ultimate Licenses on an unlimited amount of sites with a unlimited amount of users, I believe the value of what you can do with WP E-Signature is HUGE, especially compared to some competitors (an average yearly rate of $2,160 for six users, yikes!).

It is definitely not our intention to mislead anyone about our pricing, especially when viewing our free ‘bridge’ plugins on www.ads-software.com. I’m so sorry that happened! ?? These are essentially the connection plugins that allow WP E-Signature to work with other integrations. We don’t charge for them because they are a part of the whole package, but I can see how you might mistake them for plugins that you can use by themselves. I’ll pass that feedback along to my team and see what sort of changes we can make on the site to avoid this confusion in the future.

As for buying blindly without using the plugin on your site, I totally understand your hesitation here. In fact, that’s exactly why we have a 14 day money back guarantee on our plugin. This way, you can try if our on your site for two weeks and if you find that it isn’t the best fit for you, no problem! You can return the plugin for a full refund.
??

Thanks again for your feedback! I really appreciate you helping us improve our plugin and website. Please let me know if you have any more questions or thoughts here and I’m super happy to help!

I hope you have a fantastic rest of your Monday!

Hi MM We’d be happy to help resolve your issue. Please contact our support at https://www.approveme.com/support and we can quickly help you troubleshoot.

Hey There!

The team here at ApproveMe seems to owe you a big apology!

Some time ago, you submitted a request for information on the www.ads-software.com support forum…and never received an answer back.

I am so sorry for this!

We assume that because our website has awesome contact and support features that all of our customers would use it instead. This was an incorrect assumption on our part! As a result, we never check the responses on the WP forum so you haven’t received the support you deserve. I’m sorry we’ve let you down!

You’re probably thinking “why respond now”?

Because we’d like to make it right! Rather than sweeping your previous questions under the rug, we want to take responsibility for our mistake and see what we can do for you.

So, if you still have that question burning in your mind, if you still have feedback for us or if you want to have a conversation about anything at all: please click here and I’ll be with you as soon as humanly possible!

Thanks again for your understanding.

I hope you have a terrific day and I look forward to hearing from you soon! ??

Stefan/Milan this is a cool suggestion… the only thing to take into consideration for the feature is that there are lots of laws and regulations in the document signing/electronic signature space in order to keep a document UETA/ESIGN compliant. We have a CF7 add-on that might be able to hook into the voting but it might be over kill for what you guys need since it would require the our whole application in conjunction with the voting plugin + cf7. Really depends on the legality purposes of the signatures being collected. Hope that two cents helps ??

Thanks so much or your feedback! It’s so important for us to get feedback from customers because that is the only way we know how to improve our product.

I totally agree that the functionality of the product is important and the easier to use the better! While a radio button with terms is simple and easy to use, it doesn’t have all of the benefits and compliance features of the legally binding document signing experience that we offer.

Security is one of ApproveMe’s highest priorities and it should be your priority as well. With WP E-Signature all of your e-signed documents and online signature’s have tamper resistant technology and are encrypted/kept hidden in your database. Sometimes our (invisible) security features can make things seem a “little more confusing” than they need to be, but using our product is actually just as easy as using a terms button but with the added bonus of all the extra securities and legal requirements it includes. We are currently running a special on our Professional license at $177 bucks which would totally do the trick for you (we recently updated the accessibility of the plugin so it now works with other plans).

However, if you require a less secure and more convenient terms button, this plug-in that the guys at EDD might have what you are looking for.

Please let me know if you have any more concerns or questions and I am happy to help!

Thanks again and I hope you have a great week!

Can you let us know once you find the culprit.

I’d also like to know… it seems we are experiencing the exact same issue (with the same numbers).

Hi Darshan… we recently had a major 1.5.0 release for WP E-Signature. It looks like you were able to successfully update our business pack but you have not yet updated our core WP E-Signature plugin. Please go to your plugins tab and update WP E-Signature to version 1.5.0 and you should be ok. You can also download the latest update by logging into your account at: https://www.approveme.com. If you have any additional questions please let us know through the support forums at ApproveMe and we’d be happy to help further. I hope that you have a fantastic day!

Hi Jessica that’s a FANSTASTIC question!

So it sounds to me like you could handle this custom esignature workflow 1 of 2 ways.

OPTION 1 (Ninja Forms):

1. You would create the Ninja Form and include your custom fields, product details and payment information (using their paypal or Stripe add-on).

2. You would create your waiver/contract using our Stand Alone Document feature with WP ESign and then connect it to Ninja Forms with this Ninja Forms Digital Signature Plugin

3. Connect your Ninja Form data/fields into the contract places they need to be in.

What will happen (from a users perceptive):
– The user will go to a page where the form is located requesting their details.
– They will fill out the form and submit a payment
– Once the payment goes through they will be redirected to sign their custom contract (which will have data from the Gravity Form already inserted in the contract)
– They will add their legally binding signature
– The signed contract will be sent as a PDF to the user (and you)

OPTION 2 (WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads… not sure what you’re using?)

You would create your waiver/contract using our Stand Alone Document (business license) and then connect it to either:
WooCommerce with our WooCommerce Digital Signature Plugin
Easy Digital Downloads with our Easy Digital Downloads Signature Plugin

Whenever a customer adds a product to the cart they will first be required to sign your legal agreement before checking out.

What will happen (from a users perceptive):
– The user will either add a product to their shopping cart
– They will be redirected to sign their custom contract
– They will add their legally binding signature
– The signed contract will be sent as a PDF to the user (and you)
– They will be redirected to the final checkout screen to enter their credit card and complete the order

Hi Jessica… first I’m SO sorry to hear about your recent troubles getting setup with Swift’s platform. It sounds like they’re a cloud-based solution vs. WordPress hosted.

While I’m not very familiar with their service, I can advise you that if you’re looking for a self-hosted WordPress powered solution that is a UETA/ESIGN compliant platform for your WordPress site; you might want to look into: https://www.approveme.com

We recently partnered with Ninja Forms to create a very powerful form workflow integration. There are also a handful of third-party integrations (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Gravity Forms, Gravity Flow). You would need a business license to build out the workflow though.

How exactly were you hoping to integrate your form workflow? I’d be happy to advise a step-by-step plan if you need any help (there’s always tons of options… it really comes down to finding the BEST option for YOU!).

If you have any questions my personal email is: kevin at approveme.com.

Hey 219inc!

It sounds like you’re looking to automate the collection of a waiver by using a legaly binding digital signature while keeping the inputed data encrypted and secure on your WordPress website.

Our plugin premium WP ESignature would definitely to the trick.

It’s important to note that the e-signature/document signing industry is a highly regulated industry with various laws and regulations…

Form generation plugins are fantastic and can help you a ton with your workflows! However, signing a legally binding document is generally NOT their main focus…

It is Approve Me’s SOLE focus. We have spent years developing a platform that adheres to the strict UETA and ESIGN national and international document signing guidelines.

We also offer add-ons for Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms which would connect those form plugins with our document signing application.

If you’re an avid reader and would love to learn more about the security of the esign plugin here’s a few helpful links for your weekend reading pleasure ??
