Digital contract signing research

[virtser]

What if we allow users to digitally sign contracts online?

Lets research the following options:

1. We provide a contract template with few predefined fields that landlord should fill like lease start/end, monthly rent, guarantees, number of payments, pets allowed, etc. And this is all the changes that are allowed. Any custom specification will require to add additional contract extension document. Research: https://www.docusign.com

2. We provide with contract template which can be used as a start for negotiation and allows both sides to do changes on top of it and comment on it (just like in google docs) and eventually sign it. Research: http://www.concordnow.com

As part of the services research:

• Understand how well we can integrate it in our system.
• Do they have APIs and to which extend.
• What is the pricing.

@averysteve:

for contract, I don’t think we need a text editor per se, rather something more like airbnb, an easy way to define variables and edit certain fields, plus a free text section for additions or other notes, with the airbnb contract being in place and modified according to assets details, then customer clicks to approve. i will copy out their flow and we can review together
