Recently started using e-signatures for invoices. Tried a few fancy apps, but they’re overkill for my small operation. Looking for simpler solutions that don’t require a PhD to operate.
Anyone found a straightforward way to add e-signatures to invoices without diving into complex software?
Been down that road too. Got tired of complicated apps real quick.
Found a simple trick that works for me. I use Google Docs to make my invoices. Then I just insert an image of my signature. Save it as a PDF and boom, done.
It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done. Plus, it’s free and I can access it from anywhere.
For clients who need a more ‘official’ look, I use DocuSign’s free plan. It lets you sign a few docs each month without paying. Works great for those bigger contracts or picky clients.
Just remember to keep your signature image safe. Don’t want it floating around where anyone can grab it.
I just use a PDF editor to slap my signature on invoices. Quick and easy. No fancy stuff needed for small jobs. Works for me, might work for you too.
I’ve been using Adobe Reader for e-signatures. It’s free and simple.
Create your invoice as usual, open it in Adobe Reader, and use the ‘Fill & Sign’ tool to add your signature. Save it as a PDF and you’re done.
No need for fancy apps or subscriptions. Just a basic tool that gets the job done without any fuss.
Look, you don’t need fancy software for this. I’ve been doing e-signatures on invoices for years without any hassle. Here’s what works: Make your invoice in whatever you normally use. Could be Word, Excel, whatever. Grab a piece of paper, sign it, take a picture with your phone. Drop that picture into your invoice where you want your signature. Save as PDF. Done. Keep that signature image somewhere safe on your computer. Use it over and over. Takes me about 30 seconds to slap a signature on an invoice now. If some big client needs something fancier, there’s always free plans on sites like DocuSign. But for most jobs, keep it simple. You’ve got work to do.
I’ve been using a super simple method for e-signatures on invoices:
No fancy software needed. Just basic tools most of us already use.
Bonus tip: I keep a ‘master’ invoice template with the signature already in place. Makes churning out new ones a breeze.
For clients who need something more official-looking, I use HelloSign’s free plan. It gives you a few free signatures per month and does the trick for those bigger projects or fussy clients.
Just remember to keep your signature image secure. You don’t want it ending up in the wrong hands.
I use a pen on paper. Sign it scan it done. No fancy stuff just works.
