Custom Job Signatures
In some states, consumers have the right to cancel a service within three days of receiving a price or estimate. To comply with these regulations, many Pros require customers to sign an agreement acknowledging that they are waiving this right before work begins.
Our Custom Job Signatures feature makes it easy for Pros to collect these legally required signatures—along with any other necessary signatures—directly from customers on the job. With this feature, you can:
Create up to three custom signature fields for your service agreements.
Collect signatures quickly and securely from the mobile app while on the job.
Display signatures on both the invoice and the job record.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up and use the Custom Job Signatures feature to streamline your workflow and ensure compliance with local regulations. Let’s get started!

Custom signatures
🛠️ Pro Tip: Signatures appear in grey when they are collected at the current job price, and in red when the job price has changed and the signature can be re-collected.
The signature box will appear on your screen, and the terms for that signature will be displayed at the top.
Once your customer signs, they'll tap Done Signing - and that's it! The customer's signature will then be displayed on the job (on web) and at the bottom of the invoice.
View Collected Signatures
Once signatures are collected, they are displayed on the invoice and in the Approvals section on the job on web.
View a signature on the Job details page:
Open a job in the web portal.
Scroll down to the Approvals section on the left.
If a signature was collected for the job, you'll see it here along with the following details:
Type of signature used
Name of the customer who signed ("Approved by...")
Date the signature was collected
The amount that was approved
View a signature on the Invoice:
Click the Invoice button at the top of the Job details page to view the invoice preview.
Your customer's signature will be displayed at the bottom of the invoice.
