Proposals, e-sign and getting paid
Winning the deal is half the job. Here's how to send the proposal, get the contract signed and collect the money — from the same record, without a separate e-sign or invoicing tool.

Why the gap after "yes" costs money
The time between a client saying yes and the money arriving is where deals quietly stall: the proposal is a PDF in someone's sent folder, the contract waits for a signature nobody is chasing, and the invoice is raised in another tool a week late. When proposal, contract and invoice live on the client's record, everyone can see what's waiting and on whom.
From proposal to payment
Set up the first two once; the rest is what you do for every deal.
Build your catalog
Add the products and services you sell with their unit price, tax rate and billing frequency, so proposals and invoices pick up the same prices every time.
Step by step in the Help CenterSet up your templates and numbering
In Configuration → Modules → Document Templates, create your proposal and contract templates and set their numbering — and which deal stage an accepted proposal moves the deal to.
Step by step in the Help CenterSend the proposal
Create the proposal from the account or deal and send it. Clients accept or decline it in their portal, and optional reminders go out before it expires.
Step by step in the Help CenterGet the contract signed
Add up to 20 signers, signing in order or all at once, by signing link or with an emailed one-time code. Reminders go out automatically, and you get an audit certificate when it's done.
Step by step in the Help CenterIssue the invoice
Raise the invoice from the account. It moves from Draft to Issued to Paid, with credit notes when you need them and reminders when it's overdue.
Step by step in the Help CenterCollect the payment
Connect a payment gateway and send a payment link — Razorpay or Cashfree in India, Stripe everywhere else. Payments by bank transfer can be recorded by hand.

Where quote-to-cash leaks
Every one of these turns a won deal into a late payment.
Prices kept in people's heads
Different reps quoting different prices for the same service. A catalog keeps every proposal on the same numbers.
Proposals sent as email attachments
Once the PDF leaves, you can't see whether it was opened, accepted or forgotten. Send it from the record instead.
Contracts nobody is chasing
An unsigned contract with no reminders can sit for weeks. Automatic reminders do the chasing for you.
Invoices in a different tool
When invoicing lives elsewhere, sales can't see who has paid. Keep invoices on the account.
Your setup checklist
Do these once and every deal after is quicker.
