Signers can draw their signature on a canvas or type it using a cursive font. Every signature is recorded with a SHA-256 integrity hash, signer IP, user agent, and timestamp — giving you a complete audit trail. #### Key Features * **Draw or type** — configurable per form or globally in settings. * **SHA-256 audit hashing** — every signature generates a unique integrity hash. * **IP & User Agent capture** — complete audit trail for every signing event. * **Admin dashboard** — stat cards, recent activity, and quick-start guide. * **Document management** — create signable documents and link forms via shortcode. * **WP_List_Table** — sortable, filterable, searchable signatures list with CSV export. * **Email notifications** — automatic confirmation to the signer and notification to the admin. * **REST API** — full CRUD endpoints under `wpsv/v1`. * **Theme-overridable templates** — place your own `wpsv/signature-form.php` in your theme. * **Works anywhere** — drop the shortcode on any page, post, or order confirmation. #### Shortcode Usage ``` [wpsv_signature] ``` Attributes: * `document_id` — links the form to a saved document. * `title` — heading shown above the form. * `description` — optional introductory text. * `button_text` — submit button label. * `redirect` — URL to redirect to after a successful signature. * `type` — `draw`, `type`, or `both` (overrides global setting). Example: ``` [wpsv_signature document_id="1" title="Sign the NDA" type="both" redirect="https://example.com/thank-you"] ``` #### Privacy / External Services All signature data (images, hashes, signer information) is stored in your own WordPress database. The plugin does **not** send signature data to any external server. The draw-mode signature canvas is powered by [Signature Pad](https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad)( MIT License), which runs entirely in the visitor’s browser. ## Screenshots [⌊Admin dashboard with stat cards and recent signatures.⌉⌊Admin dashboard with stat cards and recent signatures.⌉[ Admin dashboard with stat cards and recent signatures.

Upload the `merchantkits-document-signatures` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Go to **Document Signatures Settings** to configure company name, email notifications, and canvas options. 4. Create a document at **Document Signatures Documents**. 5. Add the shortcode `[wpsv_signature document_id="1"]` to any page or post. ## FAQ ### Are the signatures legally binding? MerchantKits Document Signatures records an electronic signature along with a SHA- 256 integrity hash, signer name, email, IP address, user agent, and timestamp. This constitutes a valid electronic record under most e-signature laws (e.g., ESIGN Act, eIDAS). Consult a lawyer for jurisdiction-specific advice. ### Where is the signature data stored? All signature data is stored in two custom database tables (`wp_wpsv_signatures` and `wp_wpsv_documents`) in your own WordPress database. Signature data is never sent to external servers. ### Can I override the form template? Yes. Copy `templates/signature-form.php` from the plugin folder into `{your-theme}/ wpsv/signature-form.php` and edit it freely. ### Can I override the email templates? Yes. Place your custom templates at `{your-theme}/wpsv/email/signature-confirmation. php` and `{your-theme}/wpsv/email/admin-notification.php`. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes. The shortcode works on any page including WooCommerce order confirmation pages. ### How do I export signatures? Go to **Document Signatures Signatures**, select the signatures you want, choose** Export CSV** from the bulk actions dropdown, and click Apply. ### Can I restrict who can access the admin pages? Yes. Use the `wpsv_admin_capabilities` filter to change the required capability ( default: `manage_options`). ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? By default, data is kept. To remove all data, go to **Document Signatures Settings Advanced** and enable **Delete Data on Uninstall** before deleting the plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35076797a51fcdc05d44980495bcf2f2f9569c02b5a37be20535bd11b19d4a1e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-work-1172/)󠁿 [fasihullahsolangi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fasihullahsolangi/) June 19, 2026 I have tried this, and found this very usefull!
