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

Go to: Payments → Documents & Contracts → Templates

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

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
