Frequently Asked Questions

What is an E-Signature Block?

An E-Signature block in QuoteCloud is a dedicated section placed in your document that allows recipients to sign electronically by drawing, typing, or uploading a signature. It creates a clear, designated signing area inside proposals, quotes, and agreements generated 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: recipients can draw a signature using a mouse or touchscreen, type a signature that uses a font-based representation, or upload an image file of a saved or scanned signature. These options make signing quick and flexible for customers on different devices.

Where should I place an E-Signature Block in my document?

Place the E-Signature block where a recipient's signature is required—typically at the end of an agreement, next to a signature line, or adjacent to acceptance language. In QuoteCloud’s document templates (used for quote software and proposal software), positioning the block near pricing, terms, or an acceptance statement helps ensure signers clearly understand where to apply their signature.

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 can choose one of the supported methods (draw, type, or upload) to complete their signature.

Is the E-Signature Block part of QuoteCloud’s document generation and signing workflow?

Yes. The E-Signature block is integrated with QuoteCloud’s document generation features and electronic signature workflows, enabling seamless signing as part of generated proposals, quotes, and agreements. This makes it easy to include signing steps directly in your sales quoting software and sales proposal software processes.

Can recipients upload a scanned or saved signature image?

Yes. Uploading a scanned or saved signature image is supported as one of the signing options within the QuoteCloud E-Signature block, allowing recipients to attach an image file of their signature when signing a quote or proposal.

Can I include an E-Signature Block in my QuoteCloud templates and proposals?

Yes. E-Signature blocks can be added to document templates and individual documents within QuoteCloud so every quote or proposal you generate with QuoteCloud’s quote software or proposal software can include a ready-to-sign area. This streamlines approvals and helps reduce turnaround time for signed agreements.
