DocuSign customers across the UK will be able to benefit from the launch of DocuSign Payments, the company’s latest platform innovation that provides a fast and easy way to collect payments and signatures in just one step. For the 65% of businesses that experience either delays in receiving payment or a complete failure to collect, this new way to sign and pay will make a huge difference.
At launch, via the partnership with global payments platform Stripe – users can DocuSign and pay using Android Pay, Apple Pay or any major credit or debit card. DocuSign will continue to integrate new payment partners – including Authorize.net, Braintree and PayPal – in the coming months. Recurring payments and other functionalities are expected to be available later this year.
A huge range of use cases present themselves for DocuSign Payments, across a variety of different industries, including the completion of lease agreements, insurance policies, contractor services, event bookings, donations, hotel stays, accounting, tax preparation and registration renewals, to name but a few. This potential is clearly recognised by DocuSign’s customers who are keen to take full advantage of the new launch.
Adding payments into the existing signing process is simple and straightforward. After a brief, one-time setup to connect DocuSign with Stripe, a sender adds a payment request to their agreement and sends it to the person who needs to sign. When that signer receives and DocuSigns the document, they can pay using Android Pay, Apple Pay or their credit/debit card, and the funds are collected immediately.
