Switching from DocuSign — common questions
Everything teams ask when migrating from DocuSign to Chaindoc. Still have questions — visit our support page.
Yes. Both deliver eIDAS Article 26 Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES). Signatures from either platform hold up in court the same way.
Chaindoc adds a blockchain audit trail on top — a stronger evidentiary record than DocuSign's certificate-only audit log.
DocuSign lets you download any template as a PDF (Templates → select → Download). Upload the PDFs into Chaindoc and drop signature fields where they were before.
Most teams switch in under an hour. See migration steps above.
They stay in your DocuSign account — DocuSign keeps signed records even after you downgrade.
Most teams keep the DocuSign account active in read-only mode for a year, then archive.
Not directly — Chaindoc has its own REST API. It's well-documented and most teams switch in a day.
No enterprise upsell to access the API — every paid plan includes it.
Available on Chaindoc Pro and Enterprise plans. SSO (SAML, OIDC), SCIM provisioning, audit log export.
On DocuSign, these often require contact-sales tiers above Business Pro.
