The easiest way is usually to use an e-signature tool that lets you send a document link by email and have customers sign it on any device.
Good options:
- DocuSign — very common, polished, reliable
- Dropbox Sign — simple and easy to use
- Adobe Acrobat Sign — good if you already use Adobe
- PandaDoc — nice if you also need quotes/contracts and workflows
- HelloSign — straightforward for smaller teams
A simple workflow:
- Upload your document
- Add signature fields and required info
- Enter the customer’s email
- Send a signing link
- They sign online
- You get a completed copy automatically
If you want the lowest-friction setup, use:
- DocuSign or Dropbox Sign for general business use
- Google Docs + e-sign tool if you already collaborate in Google Workspace
- A web form + embedded e-signature if you want to collect signatures inside your app/site
If you need, I can recommend the best option based on your use case:
- one-off contracts
- high volume
- mobile-friendly
- integration with CRM/accounting tools
- free or low-cost options
