eSignature for SaaS companies
Get order forms and MSAs signed without chasing
BoldSign sends order forms, MSAs and DPAs from HubSpot or Salesforce. The customer signs first, then your team countersigns.
Works in: the BoldSign web app and API, HubSpot, Salesforce, and the iOS and Android apps.
- Several documents in one envelope
- Automatic reminders and expiry dates
- SOC 2 Type 2 report on request
Why do SaaS contracts stall after the customer says yes?
After the customer agrees, a SaaS deal can stall in three places. BoldSign handles preparing, signing and tracking.
- Prepare
Copied from the CRM by hand
Reps copy the customer, price and term from the CRM into the order form. With BoldSign, a template fills those fields from the HubSpot or Salesforce record. See how sending works
- Sign
Signers on both sides
The customer's signer, their finance contact and your VP all need to act. With BoldSign, each signer gets the document in the order you set. See the signing order
- Track
Status lost after sending
Reps ask customers whether they signed, and the PDF sits in an inbox. With BoldSign, each contract's status shows in one list and on the CRM record. See how tracking works
What SaaS teams send for signature

How do you send an order form from your CRM?
BoldSign sends order forms straight from the HubSpot deal or Salesforce opportunity, in three steps.
-
Pick the order form template. Its fields fill from the deal or opportunity.
-
Check who signs: the customer's signer first, then your countersigner.
-
Check the filled fields and send.
How do you collect the customer’s signature, then your countersignature?
BoldSign sends a document to each signer in the order you set. Your countersigner gets it only after the customer signs.
-
Several documents, one envelope
Send the order form, MSA and DPA together, and BoldSign counts them as one envelope.
-
Copies for finance or legal
CC recipients get the document and its updates, but they do not sign.
-
Reassign to the right signer
If you allow it, a signer without authority can pass the document to the right person.
-
Automatic reminders
You choose how often BoldSign sends reminders and how many it sends.
-
Expiry dates
An unsigned order form expires on the date you set, and signers get an alert one day before.
SaaS deal paperwork: who signs what, and in what order
BoldSign lets you set who signs each SaaS contract, in what order, and who gets a copy.
| Document | Customer side | Your side | Order | How BoldSign handles it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Order form | Customer: authorized buyer | You: sales lead or finance | Customer first, then you | Signing order, finance in CC, reminders and an expiry date |
| MSA | Customer: legal or an officer | You: an authorized signer | Customer first, then you | Sent with the order form in one envelope, from a locked template |
| DPA | Customer: privacy or legal lead | You: an authorized signer | Customer first, then you | Sent in the same envelope as the MSA |
| Mutual NDA | Prospect: any authorized person | You: the account owner | Either side first | Reusable template, one signer on each side |
| Renewal or amendment | Customer: the original signer | You: finance | Customer first, then you | Expiry date set before the renewal date |
| Reseller agreement | Reseller: an officer | You: partnerships lead | Reseller first, then you | Signing order; reassign if their signer changes |
How do you track SaaS contract status?
BoldSign lists every contract by status: waiting for others, completed, declined, revoked or expired. The same status shows on the HubSpot or Salesforce record.
- Salesforce Flow can move the opportunity forward when the document status changes.
- Each document's audit trail records who signed, when, and from which IP address and device.
