zipForm® 6 Offers Additional Digital Signature Solution at New Lower Cost
Available on May 19th, zipForm® 6 will offer your REALTOR® members an alternative solution for signing C.A.R. forms digitally. zipLogix Digital Ink is available to purchase on an individual basis at $40/year and includes 10 digital signature credits. One credit is equivalent to one transaction in zipForm® 6. Each transaction has unlimited signatures and may be sent multiple times. For example, if I’m sending a Residential Purchase Contract to my buyer and then a few days later sending a Counter Offer, I’m still in the same transaction and no additional credits will be required.
Additional features include:
Pre-tagged signatures for forms (no more drag and drop required for each signature/initial on every page)
Optional signature and initial fields
Text boxes for client completion
Members may purchase an account directly from their zipForm® 6 by clicking on the “Tools” tab, going to the “Options” menu and click the “E-Signature” tab. A credit card is required to complete the order.
