What would you do if you discover the contracts you used in running your online business were not legally binding?

Electronic Signature Add-on for Fluent Forms

Imagine being in a courtroom with an estranged client who’s claiming that they never agreed to your contract. You pull up the contract and after a brief review, the judge announces that the esignature used in the contract was not legally valid. He then asks if you have anything else to support your case.

Hopefully it will never come to to this, but if it did, what would you do?

Well, there’s not much you could do.

The electronic document industry has very strict rules and regulations for legal contracts, invoices, employee agreements and any other legally binding document you may use in your business.

Fluent Forms is a terrific WordPress Form Plugin! It is quite possibly one of the best ways to automate any number of tasks using a WordPress website (and of course their renowned contact forms plugin). However, signing legally binding contracts is NOT Fluent Forms primary focus (it is however ApproveMe’s WP E-Signature sole focus). We have invested many years building a system that adheres to the strictest UETA and ESIGN nationwide and foreign document signing regulations.

This Signature Pad Plugin fills the gap between a WordPress Form plugin and an esignature solution that is compliant with the UETA/ESIGN guidelines.

Digital security is crucial to your business. You need to protect yourself from anything that could call your forms into question.

The ApproveMe WordPress E-Signature Plugin turns your WordPress site into a court recognized document signing app.

If you’re a Fluent Forms user, you know how powerful their plugin can be to help automate a number of tasks on your website. HOWEVER, signing legally binding contracts is NOT their primary focus. That’s where we come in.

The Fluent Forms Digital Signature Add-On ensures that every contact form, contract, or invoice submitted with the WP Form plugin is 100% UETA/ESIGN compliant.

No more second-guessing the legality of your contracts or needing to use a third-party signing service.

We’ve invested years into building a system that adheres the strictest nationwide and foreign document signing regulations while allowing you to control your user experience.

Getting started.

How Fluent Forms Digital Signature Pad Add-On by WP E-Signature Works:

The plugin for Fluent Forms is very simple to setup. With an active ApproveMe business license, you can instantly produce a legally binding (court accepted) contract utilizing completed Fluent Forms data and require your Fluent Forms submitter to add their signature on your WordPress E-Signature generated contract.

This plugin is amazing for Freelancers, Web Designers, Photographers and Small Business owners who want to simplify their contract generation process.

Get started by following these simple Fluent Forms WordPress E-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 Fluent Forms as well as Digital Signatures that are legally binding. The following plugins are required:

Fluent Forms Lite
WP E Signature (Lifetime or Elite license)
esignature Business Pack (comes with your license above)
[Signature Add-On by ApproveMe](this plugin)

*An Lifetime or Elite license is required and can be purchased at www.approveme.com

Step 2: Input your ApproveMe license After you’ve purchased 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 E-Signature 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.

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 Fluent Forms 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 WP Form is submitted. This add-on gives you the power to incorporate WP 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 Fluent Forms to add form fields details into a contract

Go to the Signer Input Fields/Custom Fields symbol and choose “WP Form Data”.

Choose the WP 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 WP Form.

[esig fluentform id=”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 Fluent Forms field data to your Stand Alone Document, you’re ready to choose your document settings.

Note: Before you can post your contract form, you also have to link your Stand Alone Document with 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 WP Form and will not work properly unless it has the field values of that submitted WP 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 Fluent Forms.

Select LET’S GO NOW! to establish those final Fluent Forms preferences.

Step 8: Finalize creating the WP 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 “esignature” choice within the contact form options and specify the remaining options.

Now You’re done!

Frequently asked questions.

Can I collect legally binding court recognized Digital Signature from my WordPress website when someone submits a WordPress Form?

With the Fluent Forms Digital Signature Add-on by ApproveMe, along with a WP E-Signature license you can easily collect UETA/ESIGN compliant signatures from your visitors or website customers after they submit a WP Form on your website.

You can even pass details from the submitted WP Form into your document using this WordPress contract plugin.

Are Digital Signature and esignature Legal?

Yes, electronic digital signatures are legally binding in the United States and many countries around the world. United States in the US there are two digital signature Acts that established the legality of digital signatures in the US – the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN, 2000) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA, 1999). Both the ESIGN and UETA establish that electronic records and signatures carry the same weight and legal effect as traditional paper documents and handwritten signatures, they say “A document or signature cannot be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.” The ApproveMe WordPress e-signature plugin is UETA/ESIGN compliant.

United Kingdom In the UK, similar legislation to the ESIGN Act in the USA was likewise settled in 2000, and is known as the UK Electronic Communication Act.

European Union The appropriation of the European Directive 1999/93/EC of 13 December 1999 established a the utilization of electronic marks on electronic and digital contracts inside of the European Union (EU). Thirty European nations (EU-27, Croatia, Turkey and Liechtenstein) have officially adopted Directive 1999/93/EC. To that end Electronic and Digital marks are effectively being used in Europe, and ApproveMe’s compliant WordPress e-signature plugin is legitimately acceptable and enforceable within the European Union when it is properly configured. One of the best ways to ensure your document is EU compliant is to utilize our “Send Custom Contract Invitation via Email” feature. So when a user submits your WordPress Form they will be emailed a custom email invitation to sign their unique contract.

How much does it cost to renew my license?

The Lifetime Plan does not have a renewal cost. It is a one-time payment for the WP E-Signature plugin. However all other plans have an annual renewal. Our goal has always been to pull the price back as much as we possibly can so small businesses and freelancers could sign documents electronically using their WordPress website (and save alot of money in the process). Not only is our WordPress signature plugin the most powerful of its kind, it’s also the most affordable. Not to throw anyone under the bus, but look at what our competitors charge every single year:

Adobe charges $1,080 / yr (per 3 users) Docusign charges $1,440 / yr (per 3 users)

Not charing for renewals would actually hurt the product as we would not be able to invest as heavily as we currently do back into it…

What do I get for renewing my license?

Renewing your license provides an additional year of support and software updates. This provides peace of mind knowing you can turn to us for WP Electronic Signature related support and assistance. You’ll also continue receiving software updates to ensure WordPress compatibility (and security) as well as great new features and enhancements! Also (depending on your license) as we release new basic and premium add-ons you will be able download these at anytime.
