# **What is Documents & Contracts?**

Documents & Contracts is a built-in tool under the **Payments** section in GHL Customer Care that enables businesses to manage legally binding agreements. You can start with a blank document, upload an existing PDF, or use a prebuilt template. It also supports e-signatures, payment collection, automated triggers, and full audit tracking.

This feature is designed to help agencies, small businesses, and service providers streamline client agreements, eliminate paperwork, and close deals faster.

---

## **Key Benefits of Documents & Contracts**

-   **Centralized Dashboard**: Manage all your contracts and proposals in one organized place under Payments. This reduces time spent searching across different tools and ensures your team always knows the status of every document.

-   **Custom Templates**: Reuse prebuilt templates for recurring agreements like service contracts or proposals. This speeds up document creation while ensuring consistency and professionalism across clients.

-   **E-Signatures with Audit Trail**: Collect legally binding signatures online, with a certificate that records signer details, IP address, and timestamps. This provides legal protection while making the signing process easy for clients.

-   **Integrated Payments**: Add one-time or recurring payments directly inside your contracts. This allows you to close deals and collect revenue instantly, without requiring a separate invoicing process.

-   **Workflow Automation**: Trigger actions when a document is created, sent, viewed, or signed. This keeps deals moving forward automatically, reducing manual follow-ups and improving conversion rates.

-   A three-dot menu next to each record provides quick actions like **View, Clone, Mark as Completed, Download PDF, Convert to Template, Share via Link, Move to Draft, or Mark as Declined**.

# **Frequently Asked Questions**

**Q: What happens if a client partially signs but doesn’t complete the document?**

If multiple signers are assigned and only some complete their fields, the document remains in **Waiting for others**. You can remind incomplete signers by resending from the dashboard. The document won’t move to Completed until every required signer finishes.

**Q: How secure are e-signatures and payment details inside documents?**

GHL Customer Care applies SSL encryption to all documents and payment data. Each signature generates a certificate with IP address, email, and timestamp. Payment information is processed securely through your integrated payment provider and never stored in GHL Customer Care.

**Q: Can I create conditional content in documents (e.g., show different pricing tables depending on the client)?**

Currently, conditional logic inside documents is not supported. Each document is static once created. If you need variations, create multiple templates or use workflows to send different templates based on conditions.

**Q: What happens if I edit a template after sending a document?**

Editing a template does not affect documents already sent. Any changes will only apply to future documents created from that template. This ensures legal integrity for already signed or pending agreements.

**Q: Can I accept multiple payment methods in one document?**

Yes, you can configure documents to accept multiple payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) if those gateways are connected to your account. Recipients can choose their preferred method at checkout.

**Q: How do expiry dates work with documents?**

You can add an expiry date from the document action menu. Once the date passes, the document automatically moves to **Expired** and can no longer be signed. This is useful for time-limited offers or proposals.

**Q: Can workflows trigger based on specific template usage?**

Yes, workflows can filter by both **Document Status** and **Template Name**. For example, you could send a reminder only when a specific “Service Agreement” template remains unsigned for more than 3 days.
