Digital Signing
Add legally-binding electronic signatures to any document inside ERPNext. Sales orders, contracts, NDAs, HR forms, customer onboarding — anything you'd print, sign and scan today can stay digital end-to-end.
Digital Signing is a separate app that works on any Frappe DocType. ERPNext is its biggest user, but it doesn't require ERPNext to run.
What it does
- Signs documents in place — generate a PDF from any DocType, drop a signature anchor on the page, and the signed PDF is attached back to the record. No third-party service.
- Routes documents to external signers — send a customer or supplier a portal link by email; they sign in their browser, the signed PDF lands back in ERPNext.
- Multiple signature levels — Simple (SES) for everyday signoffs, Advanced (AES) for value-bearing documents, Qualified (QES) for the highest legal tier (with a certified KYC provider like itsme).
- Built-in certificate management — every signer has their own certificate; you can issue them inside the platform or bring your own.
Common ways Dutch businesses use it
- Sign every outgoing Sales Order PDF before emailing it to the customer
- Get customers to sign service agreements via a portal link instead of DocuSign
- Sign employee contracts with both employee and HR manager via the portal
- Sign supplier NDAs during onboarding, without printer/scanner
