FAQs
What is an E-Signature Block?
An E-Signature block in QuoteCloud is a dedicated section placed inside a document that lets recipients sign electronically by drawing, typing, or uploading a signature image. It creates a clear, designated signing area within proposals, quotes, and agreements produced with QuoteCloud’s sales quoting software and sales proposal software.
Which signing methods does the E-Signature Block support?
The E-Signature block supports multiple signing methods so recipients can choose the most convenient option: draw a signature with a mouse or touchscreen, type a signature that is rendered in a font-based style, or upload an image file of a saved or scanned signature. These options ensure fast, flexible signing across desktop and mobile devices.
Where should I place an E-Signature Block in my document?
Place the E-Signature block wherever a recipient’s signature is required—commonly at the end of an agreement, next to a signature line, or adjacent to acceptance language. In QuoteCloud document templates used for quote software and proposal software, positioning the block near pricing, terms, or a clear acceptance statement helps ensure signers understand when and where to sign.
Who can sign using the E-Signature Block?
Any designated recipient of a QuoteCloud document can sign using the E-Signature block. When you send a quote or proposal through QuoteCloud’s signing workflow, the intended recipient viewing the document will be able to apply a signature using any supported method (draw, type, or upload).
Is the E-Signature Block part of QuoteCloud’s document generation and signing workflow?
Yes. The E-Signature block is fully integrated with QuoteCloud’s document generation features and electronic signature workflows. That means e-signature fields are created as part of your templates and included automatically in the delivery and signing process when you send quotes or proposals using QuoteCloud’s sales quoting software and proposal software.
Is an electronic signature applied with the E-Signature Block legally binding?
Signatures captured through QuoteCloud’s E-Signature block are intended to meet common electronic signature standards and are typically legally enforceable for commercial agreements. Legal enforceability depends on jurisdiction and contract context, so for high-risk or highly regulated agreements you may wish to consult legal counsel.
Can I add or edit an E-Signature Block in my QuoteCloud template?
Yes. You can add and position E-Signature blocks inside QuoteCloud document templates using the document editor. This lets you standardize where signatures appear across quotes and proposals created with your quote software or proposal software, ensuring consistent presentation and a smooth signing experience for customers.
Will the E-Signature Block work on mobile devices and tablets?
Yes. The E-Signature block is built to work on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Recipients can draw signatures with touchscreens, type a signature, or upload an image from their device, making it easy for customers to sign proposals and quotes while on the go.
