eSign special functions : signatures, initials, image uploading, and document uploading. These are special options available for eSign letters (these options only work with eSign Booking Letters) that enable a Letter to be signed or initialed (using the 'Signature' or 'Initial' option); using the Image Place Holder a guest can submit an image uploaded from a device (any computer, tablet, or smart phone can work in .jpg, .png, .jpeg, .gif formats only); an Upload Document that allows documents (we support .jpg, .png, .jpeg, .gif, .pdf, .docx, .rtf, .txt, .doc, and .tiff file formats only) to be uploaded from a device (any computer, tablet, or smart phone can work); a Text Area to allow a Guest to place 'free form' text into a box and have the text 'saved'.  These merge elements are available only for eSign Letters, they will not work outside of the eSign process,

If desiring to use 2 different Self Check-in 'processes' for your Guests, or 2 eSign Letters for other purposes, consider a PMS Agent that can differentiate between bookings and thus requiring a unique eSign - Digital Document Signing process based on the 'Suppress Agent Rate' process.  This adds an entirely different eSign- Digital Document Signing process and may be useful for certain businesses requiring distinct processes for automating different types of eSign processes.

Step 1: Creating a Customized Letter with a Digital Signature Function 

There are two digital signing merge fields that you can insert into your Letters depending on your needs. Both will display a digital signature box which must be signed before the Guest can submit the Letter. This letter will become your default 'Digital Signature Request" letter. Once done set it as the default. Next, create a letter that you can send to the guest to link them to this default letter.

  1. Signature: Requires a full signature from the Guest.
  2. Initials: Requires initals from Guest.

To insert either or both of these merge fields into your Letter:

  • Place your cursor in the the body of the Letter where you want the digital signature box to display.
  • Go to the BookingCenter Globe Icon and the "Digital Signing" Section. Select the merge field and it will be inserted into your Letter. 
  • Click Update to save changes.

When the guest clicks on this link it will open the default Digital Signature letter you set and allow the guest to read and sign the letter. After the guest signs and submits the signed Letter, it is stored with the booking at a secure URL for future reference by the hotel or guest

 To insert the "Digital Signature Letter (URL)"  field into your Letter:

  • Place your cursor in the body of the Letter where you want the digital signature box to display.
  • Go to the BookingCenter Globe Icon and the "Digital Signing" Section. Select the merge field and it will be inserted into your Letter.

Signed Letter Storage:

Please note that in order for Digital Signing to work with a Booking, it must have a unique link (RUID), which was added on August 7, 2018. Therefore, only Bookings created since August 7, 2018 have a RUID and are enabled for eSign. Bookings created prior to this date, DO NOT have an RUID and the Digital Signing function will not work. All new Bookings created will have the unique RUID and can use eSign - Digital Document Signing. Note that using EDIT on booking will not create a RUID. Learn more about Booking RUID
