The gap between a client saying yes and a client signing is where deals cool off. If your videography contract process means opening last year's agreement, find-and-replacing the client name, exporting a PDF, uploading it to an e-sign tool, and paying a separate subscription for the privilege, that gap gets wider every time.
Contracts & E-Sign keeps the whole thing on the deal. Templates prefill from the contact and the accepted proposal, the client signs in a browser, and the executed agreement stays attached to the project it governs.
A dedicated e-sign tool signs documents well and knows nothing about your business. It cannot prefill a shoot date, a deliverable list, or a payment schedule, because it has never seen the deal. You end up preparing the document somewhere else and using the e-sign product as an expensive stamp.
It also fragments the record. The signed PDF lives in one system, the proposal in another, and the invoice in a third, so reconstructing what was actually agreed means opening three tabs and trusting that nobody edited the middle one.
Build your standard agreements once — project agreement, retainer, event coverage, licensing addendum — with merge fields for client name, business details, scope, deliverables, dates, total, and payment schedule. When you generate a contract from a deal, those fields populate from the contact record and the accepted proposal.
You still edit anything the specific job requires. The point is that the ninety percent that never changes stops consuming your time, and the numbers cannot drift from what the client agreed to in the proposal.
The client receives a link, reads a branded version of the agreement, and signs on a phone or a laptop with no account to create and no software to install. The signature, the timestamp, and the signer details are recorded with the document.
You are notified the moment it is signed, and the deal moves forward. In practice contracts that used to take four days come back the same afternoon, because the friction that caused the delay was never legal — it was administrative.
Signed contracts attach to the deal and appear in the client portal alongside invoices and project status, so the client can find their own copy without emailing you for it. Twelve months later, when someone asks what was included in the licensing terms, the answer is on the deal rather than in an archive folder.
Pro+. Contract templates, generation, and browser e-signature are included on Pro and Agency at no additional per-signature cost.
Proposal Builder — The accepted tier, add-ons, and total prefill the agreement so the contract cannot contradict the proposal.
Invoicing & Payments — The payment schedule in the contract becomes the deposit and balance invoices without re-entry.
Deals & Projects — Signature moves the deal into delivery and the executed agreement stays attached to the project.
Client Portal — The client signs and later re-reads the agreement in the same branded link they use to pay and review video.
Electronic signatures are recognised for ordinary commercial agreements in the United States and most other jurisdictions, and VPP records the signer's details, the timestamp, and the exact document version signed. For agreements with unusual legal exposure, have your attorney review the template language itself.
No. They open a link, read the agreement, and sign in the browser. There is no account to create, no password, and no app to download, which is the main reason turnaround improves once contracts move into the platform.
Yes, and you should. Templates are yours to write or paste in from the agreements you already use. VPP supplies the structure, the merge fields, and the signing flow rather than the legal language.
Edit the contract and resend. The client sees the updated version at the same link, and the record reflects which version was actually signed, so there is no ambiguity about whether they agreed to the original or the revision.
No. Contracts and e-signature are part of the Pro plan at $39/mo with no per-document or per-signature fees, which is typically where a standalone e-sign subscription was costing $25 to $40 a month on its own.
