Will switching e-signature provider be burdensome for me?
No. With an API integration we do practically everything: we analyse your invoice or offer, configure SignSafe, build the REST integration, test and switch over. On your side there is showing the invoice or offer, access to the integration point and accepting the tests.
What features should an enterprise e-signature platform have?
It should cover sending to one or many recipients, signing with no forced registration, real-time status, return of the signed document through an API, and clear data storage and processing rules. SignSafe has these, with EU hosting and a data processing agreement. Ask any provider also about the legal form of the signature: ours is handwritten, and we can connect a qualified one.
Is there an e-signature API for SMEs?
Yes. The SignSafe REST API suits small and medium companies with their own system: you send from your system and the signed PDF returns to the right record. We do the integration and pricing is individual, so you do not need a heavy enterprise contract.
Does SignSafe offer developer e-signature tools?
SignSafe offers a REST API for sending documents for signature and returning signed PDFs, with our support at every stage of rollout. We make the REST API documentation available on request for an offer.
Is the SignSafe integration through a REST API?
Yes. We build the integration through a REST API: you send a document from your own system and the signed PDF returns to the right record. We make the REST API documentation available on request for an offer.
Do I get the same feature set for half the price?
Yes, for sending, signing, status and returning a document, also through the API. On showing an invoice or offer from your current provider we prepare a 1:1 offer: the same feature set at a price 50% lower than your current provider’s.
How much does the SignSafe API cost?
API access is priced individually. If you use DocuSign, Autenti, Pergamin or Adobe Sign today and show us an invoice or offer, we prepare a 1:1 offer: the same feature set at a price 50% lower than your current provider’s.
Has anyone already integrated SignSafe with their own system?
Yes. R2T, a temporary employment agency, signs contracts with temporary workers (contrat de mission) and with agency clients (contrat de mise à disposition) through SignSafe, integrated with R2T’s dedicated system for running a staffing agency.
Does the signer have to create an account?
No. The recipient opens a link in a browser, completes the document and signs with a finger on the screen. No registration, no app.
Does SignSafe support a qualified signature?
Yes, we can connect one. SignSafe’s own handwritten signature is not qualified: it is handwritten and, according to the 2023 G&A legal opinion, meets the written form. Where a qualified electronic signature is required, for example for the electronic form under Art. 78¹ of the Civil Code, we connect it in SignSafe. It does not replace a notarial deed.
How long does the integration take?
It depends on your system and the scope of the process. We set the scope in the offer after a short conversation about where you send documents from and where they should return.
Where are documents sent through the API stored?
We store service data on servers in the European Union (OVH hosting). Processing rules for API customers are set out in the data processing agreement.
What if more documents flow through the API than 1 GB can hold?
We can connect to an external drive or a server of the client so that storage and the archive are on your side. This is a possibility agreed in the offer.
