DocuSign

RentalPoint3 can be configured to connect with your subscription to DocuSign, in order to request and receive digital signatures from clients when requesting quotes, booking hardcopies, etc. DocuSign is a third-party application, and a subscription is necessary to use this functionality.

Alternatively, RentalPoint Electronic Signature functionality is also available using RPSign (no third party software needed)

Configure RentalPoint3 DocuSign Integration

DocuSign Subscription

You'll need a subscription to DocuSign. If you already have one, then skip to 'App Integration Key' below.  

  DocuSign free trial does not support setup of API Keys so you can't test the RentalPoint/DocuSign Integration with it.  To test the integration before purchasing a subscription, you'll need to use a <Developer Sandbox demo account> OR look for a DocuSign subscription, then use the settings under App Integration Key below to complete your demo account setup.

DocuSign Envelopes

  • For DocuSign, you would need a subscription for each email that will be used to send envelopes for signing.
    The type of subscription would depend on the number of envelopes you anticipate sending out per month and the number of emails those envelopes would be sent from.
  • Envelopes Defined:  In DocuSign, an envelope is a container for documents that you send to a recipient to sign. An envelope can have one document or many documents, and one signer or many signers. Envelopes have statuses (i.e. sent, delivered, completed, voided) and also contain information about the sender and timestamps that indicate the progress of the delivery procedure. Regardless of how many documents, fields, and signers a given envelope contains, it still counts only once towards your eSignature plan’s envelope allowance once it is sent out to be signed.
  • DocuSign have a range of options available including advanced solitons that can be customized to your company requirements.  <DocuSign Subscriptions and Pricing>
