## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Sales, HR, legal, and customer success teams that create and send proposals, quotes, and contracts, and need those documents signed and tracked.
- **What you get**: A drag-and-drop editor with templates and reusable content blocks for building documents, plus e-signature collection with signing order and identity verification. Built-in analytics show when a recipient opens and reads a document, and CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) and payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Square) let you sync deal data and collect payment directly in the document.
- **How it works**: You build a document from a template or from scratch, send it to recipients and track their views in real time, then they review, comment, and e-sign it — with payment collected on the spot if the document requires it.
