eSign Centre Getting Started Guide

Getting started with eSign Centre

Electronic approval for your client documents.

How long do eSign envelopes last?

Once you have purchased your eSign envelopes they will remain on your account until they are used.

Can I buy more envelopes before I’ve used up my existing envelopes?

Yes. eSign envelopes are pay as you go, so if you are running low, you can choose from one of our envelope bundles to top up at any time.

Who can I send an eSign envelope to?

You can send envelopes to your clients, your team and anyone with a formal relationship to the client within TaxCalc such as partners, directors, secretaries, shareholders, trustees, PSCs, PRs, spouse or other family members.

Can I send more than one document within an eSign envelope?

Yes. An eSign envelope created for a client will allow multiple documents to be included at the same time.

Can I choose the order in which documents are signed?

Yes, and you can re-order those documents once attached to an envelope.

Can I change the email settings to be able to send the documents from my own email account

No. Unfortunately it is not possible at the moment to customise the email configuration. The email sent to your client will be generated by our partner Signable.

Can I take a trial of eSign Centre?

Yes. We provide one eSign envelope to try out for FREE, if you’re an existing customer or taking a trial. Once this has been used, envelopes can still be created but you will need to buy additional envelopes to send them to your clients.
