How to Complete a Signature Request (Signer Guide)

This guide is for signers. If someone has asked you to sign a document through Pactly e-Sign, it walks you through completing the signature request.

If you also have a Pactly account with the company that sent the request, you don’t need the email at all: open the contract’s Timeline tab and click Sign contract on the Out for Signing entry to jump straight to the signing view. The steps from there are the same as below.

Wait for confirmation

After submitting, wait for the confirmation screen. Delays might happen due to network issues, but don't close the window until you see a confirmation message. When you see "Thanks for filling out your document," you're done and your signature is officially registered.
