ARForms Signature Addon

ARForms Signature - an add-on for collecting signatures online in forms

ARForms Signature is an extension for the ARForms form builder that allows you to add an electronic signature field directly to your WordPress forms. This add-on allows you to collect handwritten user signatures using a mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen, streamlining the process of approving consents, contracts, orders, and other documents online.

Key Features of ARForms Signature

• Interactive Signature Field: Built-in, browser-based signature drawing tool, compatible with touch and desktop devices.
• Multiple storage formats: save the signature as a PNG image or base64 vector format, allowing for later download or embedding in PDF.
• Validation options: force the signature to be a mandatory field and check the length and presence of the signature before submitting the form.
• Integration with form fields: automatic linking of the signature with specific user data (name, date, order number), which facilitates the creation of complete documentation.
• History Viewing: An approach to storing signatures with the date and IP address to maintain an audit trail.
• Responsive interface: The signature field adapts to the screen size, ensuring a comfortable experience on smartphones and tablets.

Benefits of using ARForms Signature

The ARForms Signature plugin accelerates and simplifies processes requiring formal approval. By collecting signatures at the point where the user completes the form, it reduces the need to use external electronic signature tools. This solution increases document credibility and accelerates information flow in companies, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and e-commerce.

• Improved workflow: signatures available immediately in the administration panel, without additional document upload steps.
• Increased conversions: A simpler consent and order completion process can reduce form abandonment.
• Better documentation compliance: the ability to link signatures to metadata (date, IP) facilitates archiving and auditing.
• Flexible use cases: from GDPR consents, through service agreements, to orders and reservations, ARForms Signature works in many scenarios.

Example applications

• Registration and consent forms: quickly obtain the customer's signature when registering for courses, training or newsletters.
• Online contracts and orders: confirm order terms without having to print documents.
• Medical documents and questionnaires: collecting patient signatures for medical consents and declarations.
• HR forms: electronic acceptance of regulations, privacy policies and employee contracts.

Compatibility and implementation

The ARForms Signature add-on was designed as an extension for ARForms, so it integrates directly with existing forms created with this builder. Implementation typically involves activating the add-on and placing a signature field in the selected form. The signature field can be configured with required accompanying fields (e.g., name, date), format, and behavior after form submission.

ARForms Signature is a practical solution for websites requiring a simple, reliable way to collect signatures online. With flexible storage options and integration with other form fields, the add-on extends the functionality of ARForms, allowing you to create complete and professional forms with electronic signature support.
