Accurate adjustment ensures payments are captured reliably and linked to signed consent, reducing reconciliation errors and improving recordkeeping for audits and customer billing.
Responsible for defining payment flows and reconciliation rules, the Billing Manager configures payment fields, sets currency and amount rules, and verifies that collected card authorizations reconcile with accounting systems to reduce chargebacks.
The Compliance Officer reviews consent language and retention schedules to ensure credit card capture within signed documents meets regulatory and internal policy requirements, particularly for audit trails and record retention.
Teams that manage billing, legal, or client intake commonly set up card capture within signature processes to combine authorization and payment into one step.
Implementation is most effective when technical, legal, and finance stakeholders collaborate to align field configuration, authentication, and retention policies.
Payment Fields let you place a secure card input on the document, support fixed or variable amounts, and optionally collect billing details so that a card authorization is linked directly to the executed signature.
Authentication Options include email verification, SMS codes, and knowledge-based checks that strengthen signer identity before card authorization is accepted and recorded alongside the signed agreement.
Audit Trail logs record signer actions, timestamps, IP addresses, and payment authorization results to provide an immutable record for compliance and dispute resolution.
Integrations connect payment processors and accounting systems to transfer authorization tokens, reconcile transactions, and reduce manual entry between signNow and downstream financial platforms.

Card capture and payment authorization work across supported web and mobile environments but require secure connections and compatible browsers or SDKs for tokenization.
Ensure your implementation follows PCI guidelines for the chosen platform, uses TLS for all transmissions, and leverages signNow or payment-provider SDKs to avoid exposing raw card details while maintaining a consistent signer experience across devices.

Resulting in a single recorded transaction tied to the fully executed contract and simpler monthly invoicing reconciliation.
A professional services firm requires a deposit when clients sign a statement of work
