Frequently asked questions

How does embedded signing work?
Chevron icon

Instead of directing your users to HelloSign to sign your document, embedded signing allows them to fill out and sign your document directly on your website via an iframe. Signing is simple and seamless. Because the user is logged into their account on your website, we do not require them to create a separate account with us prior to viewing and signing your document.

Do I have to pay to try the API?
Chevron icon

Testing HelloSign API is free. You have full access to the API without signing up for a paid plan, just include the test_mode=1 parameter with any API signature request. Note: eSignatures in test mode are not legally binding.

What does pricing look like for the HelloSign API?

The HelloSign API is free to test. When you're ready, you can pay for the plan that has the features you need. Check out our API plans & pricing.
