🛠 How to Set Up and Use Fleetwire eSign



Fleetwire eSign lets you create templates in the Documents section, apply them during checkout, and manage signed agreements. Here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Create an eSign Template



Set up a template with fields to auto-fill your rental agreements.

In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Documents.
Click Templates in the left sidebar.
Select Add New Template and give it a name (e.g., Standard Rental Agreement).
Upload your rental agreement document (e.g., a PDF or Word file).
Use the drag-and-drop editor to add fields to your document:
- Pre-Set Fields: Choose from options like:
- Vehicle: Year, Make, Model, VIN
- Customer: Full Name, Date of Birth, Driver’s License Info
- Booking: Start/End Date & Time, Pricing, Mile Allowance, Overage Fees
- Custom Fields: Add your own, like How did you hear about us?, and set it as a Text Box Placeholder for customers to fill at checkout.
Resize fields for visual appeal if needed (note: data extending past the field width will still appear in the final signed document).
Assign the template to your Company Branch (ensure it matches the branch your listings are under, e.g., Main Branch).
Click Save to store your template.

!

Pro Tip: Include a custom field like How did you hear about us? to gather marketing insights while keeping the signing process smooth.




Step 2: Apply the Template at Checkout



Use your eSign template to auto-fill agreements during the rental process.

For Customer Checkout (Automatic)



When a customer checks out via your shop ( yourcompany.fleetwire.io), Fleetwire automatically selects the eSign template assigned to your company branch.
The template auto-populates with the order’s vehicle, customer, and booking details.
If there are custom fields (e.g., How did you hear about us?), the customer will fill them in via a text box during checkout.
The agreement is sent to the customer for e-signing via email, or they can sign it directly in the shop.

For Manual Orders (Select Template)



In your dashboard, create a manual order in Orders.
In the Agreement section, choose your eSign template (e.g., Standard Rental Agreement).
The template auto-populates with the order’s details.
For custom fields, manually enter the data or leave them for the customer to fill during signing.
Send the agreement to the customer for e-signing via email, or display it for signing.

Quick Tip: Test the checkout process in your shop to ensure custom fields display correctly and auto-filled data is accurate.


Step 3: Manage Signed Agreements



Keep track of signed agreements for easy reference.

Go to Orders and open an order.
In the Agreement section, view the signed document under Signed Envelopes.
Download or resend the agreement to the customer if needed.

Warning: Ensure all required fields (e.g., driver’s license info) are filled before sending for e-signing. Missing data can delay the rental process or cause legal issues.

You’re now a pro at using Fleetwire eSign! Your rental agreements are automated, accurate, and tailored to your needs. Check your Orders dashboard to see signed agreements in action, or test the signing process in your shop ( yourcompany.fleetwire.io)!
