CONTRACT TEMPLATES SETUP & BEST PRACTICES

WHAT THIS IS

Contract templates are reusable documents (agreements, proposals, contracts) that you can send to clients.

They can include:

  • Text (terms, conditions)

  • Pricing tables

  • Custom fields (auto-fill client info)

  • Signature fields

👉 Templates save time and ensure consistency


WHERE TO FIND DOCUMENTS & CONTRACTS

To access contract templates:

Go to: Payments → Documents & Contracts → Templates

📍 Located in the left sidebar menu inside your sub-account (location view)


HOW TO CREATE A TEMPLATE

  2. Click Create New Template

  3. Build your document using the editor:

    • Add Custom Values (auto-fill data like name, email, deal info)

    • Add Pricing Table (if needed)

  4. Add Signature Fields (see steps below)

  5. Click Save


HOW TO ADD SIGNATURE FIELDS

  1. Inside the template editor, click + Add Element

  2. Select Signature

IMPORTANT INSIGHTS

✔ Templates are reusable
Use once → reuse forever

✔ Edits do NOT affect sent contracts
Changes only apply to future documents

✔ Use dynamic fields
Auto-fill:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Deal info

👉 Saves time and avoids errors

✔ Signature fields are required for signing
Without a signature field, the document cannot be signed
