Electronic signature: your questions

An electronic signature lets a person sign a digital document without printing it. Depending on the selected flow, SignCloud records consent, verifies an OTP channel and stores technical integrity and traceability data. Legal effect depends on the signature level actually implemented and on the context.

The European eIDAS regulation recognizes electronic signatures, with different effects depending on their level and the available evidence. SignCloud records the PDF fingerprint, consent, the OTP channel used and technical events. The generated record supports verification but does not by itself guarantee the outcome of legal proceedings.

Upload your PDF (or draft a contract with AI), place the signature zones, then send the link to the signer by email. They open the link, confirm the controlled channel with the received code, sign with a finger or mouse, and receive the signed document.

Connections use HTTPS/TLS. The signing flow records the OTP channel actually used, the IP address, server events and a SHA-256 fingerprint that can reveal a change to the PDF. Hosting location and guarantees depend on the infrastructure actually configured.

Yes, SignCloud offers a free plan that lets you get documents signed every month, with no credit card. You can upgrade at any time, with no commitment, as your needs grow.

The eIDAS regulation distinguishes simple, advanced and qualified signatures, each with different requirements. SignCloud records consent, the verification channel used and document integrity. The level and evidential value depend on the flow actually enabled and the relevant legal context.

Yes. You can add several signers who each sign in turn, in the order you define. Each signer receives their own secure link, and the final document gathers all signatures before being sealed and returned to all parties.

Yes. SignCloud provides a public link and an embed snippet (iframe or button) to place on your site (WordPress, PrestaShop, any CMS) to have a document or form signed. An API and webhooks also let you create and track signatures from your own tools (CRM, billing…).

SignCloud implements private storage, access controls, retention settings, and access, rectification and erasure workflows. Applicable hosting locations and processors are listed in the current privacy policy; production compliance must be assessed against the actual configuration and contracts.

When signing, a one-time code is sent by SMS to the signer's mobile. They must enter it to validate their signature. This proves the signer held the associated phone and strengthens the evidential value of the signature.

Yes. SignCloud includes an AI assistant that drafts complete, structured contracts and administrative letters from your description. The draft is editable, then turned into a ready-to-sign PDF. We recommend having any contract reviewed by a legal professional.
