Please note you will need the following plugins installed to completely automate the process of collection of contracts using Contact Form 7 and WP E-Signature.
-
WP E-Signature (Lifetime or Elite license)
-
Stand Alone Document (comes with above licenses)
*An Elite or Lifetime license is required and can be purchased at www.approveme.com
Imagine trying to defend yourself in front a judge with nothing but a non-legally binding contract. Your estranged client is claiming that they should not have to pay their invoice, even though you did all the work, and there is a document with their name on it.
“Sorry. There’s nothing I can do. This contract is not valid.”
Something like this can ruin your business, even though you have done absolutely nothing wrong.
The E-Signing industry has a long set of strict rules and regulations that all documents must follow. That goes for all invoices, contracts, and agreements that your business may use.
Instead of guessing whether or not your documents are valid, take the steps to guarantee that they are.
The ApproveMe WP E-Signature Plugin for Contact Form 7 turns your website into a court recognized legal document signing application.
There’s no doubt that Contact Form 7 is a fantastic plugin. It’s able to automate tasks on your site and make gathering user data quite simple. However, it’s important to note that signing legally binding contracts is NOT what they specialize in. That’s where we step in.
The WP E-Signature Plugin for Contact Form 7 ensures that every single contract, form or invoice submitted through Contact Form 7 is 100% UETA/ESIGN compliant.
No more questioning whether or not your forms are legal. Plus, you’ll never need to pay another third-party signing service ever again.
Our team has put a lot of time into building a system that follows all of the rules and regulations of the e-signing industry, not just in the United States, but all over the world.
You have the right to control your user experience.

Most Signature Plugins & Add-Ons only record the details of signatures and send them to your FTP server as image files.
These image files (of your client’s legal signature) are made EASILY accessible to FTP intruders. Other E-sign plugins are not legally binding (and certainly not UETA/ESIGN compliant) because they fail to address most of the industry’s laws and regulations.
Any dispute over your contracts would not be in your favor. If you or a client ever fell victim to fraud or identity theft, you would not have much to stand on. Why risk it?
Some of the Powerful Features of ApproveMe’s E-Sign Plugin for Contact Form 7:
UETA/ESIGN Compliance
We keep our plugin 100% compliant with the most current e-signing laws. Rest easy knowing that any form or document signed with this plugin will stand up in court.
Unique Signer Downloads
Secure your PDF downloads. Only when the sender is logged in and when the signer uses their unique download invitation can a contract be downloaded.
Encrypted Data Storage
Unlike other plugins, we never store data on easily accessible FTP servers. We encrypt and store data in different strategic locations in your database. Everything is fully secure.
In fact, if a hacker were to even attempt to unencrpyt you data, the entire file would destroy itself. We invested heavily into the security of this plugin so that your documents will be completely safe.
Instant Trigger Redirects
Redirect your signers to their contracts immediately after filling out a form. This will help move your clients down the funnel without forgetting any steps or getting confused by directions. It will be much easier to get your contracts signed.
Responsive Design
Get your contracts signed from anywhere. Our plugin works with all desktop and mobile browsers for both Android and iOS devices including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
Dynamic Form Fields
Take sections on info from your forms and dynamically insert them into your contracts. Now all of your contracts will be customized for your clients.
Signing Reminder Emails
Having trouble getting your client’s signature? Set up automatic reminder emails to make sure they sign. You choose the trigger date and frequency. The plugin does the rest.
Zero Monthly Fees Per User + Unlimited Users
There are no limits to how many contracts you can create. Everyone on your team can have access to the plugin. We simply don’t believe in limits, or hidden fees.

This plugin is amazing for Freelancers, Web Designers, Photographers and Small Business owners who want to simplify their contract generation process.
Get started by following these steps to set up your Contact Form 7 Signature Plugin
Step 1:
ApproveMe’s WP E-Signature requires a few more plugins/add-ons to help you release the full power and automate Contact Form 7 as well as Digital Signatures that are legally binding. The following plugins are required:
- Contact Form 7
- WP E Signature (Elite or Lifetime license)
- E-Signature Add-ons Pack (comes with your license above)
- [Signature Add-On by ApproveMe](this plugin)
Step 2:
Input your ApproveMe license
After buying a license from ApproveMe, you must input your new license key to launch upgrades and access technical support.
Log into your account to download your license key ApproveMe account here (your password is included in the receipt emailed to you)
Step 3:
Set up a blank WordPress page
Once the WP E-Signature plugins and add-ons have been installed and your configurations are saved, you must set up a blank WordPress webpage for every Stand Alone Document (or contract) you will be producing/sending to your form submitters.
Discover more about Stand Alone Documents by visiting this helpful article
Step 4:
Set up a Stand Alone Document
Using your new blank WordPress page, you will then need to produce a Stand Alone Document and then connect the WordPress page to our Stand Alone Document.
Find out more about Stand Alone Documents by visiting documentation page for this add-on.
Step 5:
(optional) Input Contact User Details into a Contract
This step will change depending on what you want for the desired outcome. WP E-Signature is triggered once a Contact Form is submitted. You’ve got the power to incorporate Contact Form user info (which was inputted from the customer once the form was submitted) into a brand new custom contract form which will either be emailed to the customer or shown to the customer after they submit the form.
How to use Contact Form 7 to add form fields details into a contract
Go to the Signer Input Fields/Custom Fields symbol and choose “Contact Form Data”.
Choose the Contact Form that you’ve already made (and want to link with your contract form) using the drop down option list.
Pick the field info you want to include in your new contract.
A shortcode is created using this data. Don’t worry — your customer will only see the real field value when signing your contract.
You can easily transfer the shortcode to any place in your contract form. It will show the customer’s provided info anywhere the shortcode is found.
Step 6:
Select your document preferences and save settings
Once you’ve inserted all the required contract text and linked your WP form fields to your Stand Alone Document, it’s time to choose your document settings.
Important note: Before you can post your contract form, you must link your Stand Alone Document to the blank WordPress webpage you made previously for your contract. Do this by looking for and choosing the webpage from the “Display on this page” drop down option list found under the “Document Options” area.
We decided NOT to include this page in your nav menu since it will be connected to a Contact Form and will not work properly unless it has the field values of that submitted Contact Form.
Step 7:
Almost there… (halfway done)
Once you’ve published your Stand Alone Document, you’re halfway done. In the next step you have to pick your “trigger” and “action” selections for this document in Contact Form 7.
Select LET’S GO NOW! to establish those final Contact Form 7 preferences.
Step 8:
Finalize creating the Contact Form 7 workflow/trigger
Almost there! Now all you need to do is select your contract and your preferred actions once the workflow is activated.
Go to the “Forms” tab located in the WordPress control panel.
Select the form you attached to the Stand Alone Document.
Choose the “E-Signature” choice within the form options and specify the remaining options.
Now You’re done!
