How do I send contracts online?
Upload your contract to an e-signature platform, add signer emails and signature fields, then click send. Recipients get an email link, sign in their browser, and the executed copy is automatically delivered to all parties with a full audit trail.
Sending contracts online is faster, cheaper, and more legally defensible than email-PDF-and-pray. The standard workflow:
1. Create or upload your contract (Word, PDF, or AI-generated). 2. Add recipients — name + email of each signer. 3. Place fields — signature, date, initials, text fields per signer. 4. Set order — all signers at once, or sequential routing. 5. Send — recipients get an email with a unique signing link. 6. Track — see when each party opened, viewed, and signed. 7. Receive — final executed PDF + audit trail emailed to everyone.
Best platforms for sending contracts:
- iContract — free for low-volume, AI-drafted contracts included, payment collection on signing.
- DocuSign — enterprise standard.
- PandaDoc — best if you also send proposals/quotes.
- Adobe Sign — for Adobe ecosystem users.
Legal considerations: ensure your platform captures (1) signer's intent to sign, (2) consent to electronic signature, (3) IP/timestamp, (4) document hash. All major platforms do this automatically.
Tips for higher signing rates: send Tuesday-Thursday morning, include a personal message, set a reasonable expiration (3-7 days), send a polite reminder at 48 hours.
