Switching from PandaDoc — common questions
What teams ask when moving from PandaDoc to Chaindoc. Still have questions — visit our support page.
Yes. Both deliver eIDAS Article 26 Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) — same legal weight under EU, US (ESIGN), and UETA frameworks.
Chaindoc adds a blockchain audit trail — a stronger evidentiary record than PandaDoc's signature certificate.
In PandaDoc, Templates → select → Export to PDF. Upload PDFs to Chaindoc and drop signature fields.
Most teams switch in under an hour. See migration steps above.
No — and that's the point. PandaDoc bundles CPQ, quotes, and proposals into a sales workflow. If that's your use case, PandaDoc fits.
If you just need contracts signed (with optional KYC and payment), Chaindoc is the leaner choice.
PandaDoc's REST API is Enterprise-only — contact sales to unlock it. On Chaindoc, the REST API is included with every paid plan.
Integrations work via webhooks. No upsell.
No. PandaDoc keeps your signed records — they don't disappear on cancel. Most teams keep PandaDoc in read-only mode for a year, then archive.
