Accept Payments Linked to Signed Contracts

Attach billing to every agreement you send for signing. The client signs — payment triggers automatically. No separate invoices, no chasing. Cards, ACH, SEPA, IBAN, and cryptocurrency all supported.


How it works

How does contract signing with payment work?

Three steps to automate contract payment collection — from setup to funds in your account.

Set up payment terms

Choose the payment method — credit/debit cards, ACH, SEPA, IBAN transfer, or cryptocurrency. Set the amount, schedule, and any deposit or milestone structure.

Send for signature

Add payment terms directly to the document before sending. The client sees the amount, schedule, and payment options alongside the contract text.

Get paid automatically

After the client signs, payment is triggered immediately. Funds arrive via Stripe — nothing else required from you. The transaction is logged in the audit trail.


Contract Payments

Benefits of contract-linked payment collection

Combine invoicing, signing, and payment collection in one contract workflow. Less manual work, faster cash flow, no separate billing tools.

Process automation

Invoicing, signing, and payment run as one step instead of three. Nothing falls between the cracks because there's no gap between systems to fall into.

Convenience

Clients pay from any device without creating an account. No friction on their end means less waiting on yours.

Instant payments

Payment is triggered the moment the contract is signed. Funds arrive immediately rather than after a 7-30 day invoicing cycle.

Flexible payment options

Accept cards, ACH, SEPA, IBAN bank transfers, and cryptocurrency. Multi-currency support for cross-border agreements.

Security

Stripe handles all payment processing under PCI DSS certification. Chaindoc records every transaction in a blockchain audit trail — useful if anything is ever questioned.

5% processing fee

Chaindoc charges 5% of the payment amount. No hidden costs, no monthly fees. Additional Stripe network fees are shown separately.


Advantages

Why use contract-based payment collection?

Linking payment to the signing event removes the gap between agreement and cash — fewer delays, fewer disputes, less admin overhead.

No payment delays

Payment triggers at the moment of signing — not after a follow-up, not after the invoice clears in 30 days. The agreement and the payment happen at the same time.

Less to chase

Once the workflow is in place, billing runs on its own. Invoicing, collection, and reconciliation happen automatically. Your team doesn't spend Monday mornings tracking down outstanding payments.

Fewer disputes

When the client pays at signing, there's a clear record of what was agreed and what was paid. Much harder for a misunderstanding to turn into an actual dispute.

Cash when you need it

Manual invoicing cycles run 7-30 days. Contract-linked payment arrives when the deal closes. That money is available for your next project without the wait.

Fewer billing mistakes

Manual payment entry causes wrong amounts, missed charges, and duplicate invoices. Automatic billing against the signed contract amount removes that entire category of error.
