Signing forms is a legal requirement to finalize the sale and transfer ownership of the vehicle. These documents include the sales contract, which outlines the terms of the sale, and the title transfer, which legally transfers ownership from the seller to the buyer.
eSigning streamlines the entire document signing process, reducing the time it takes to close deals. This efficiency can lead to quicker transactions, improved customer satisfaction, and a more streamlined workflow for the dealership.
In this article we use the term "envelope" which simply refers to you sending forms or documents electronically to your customer for their signatures.
This article will show you how to send documents for eSigning. For information on configuring eSigning, see our help article here: eSign Setup
