Automatically collect legally binding e-signatures on waivers, contracts, and consent forms when Shopify orders come in. Beautifully simple digital signature software for your store.
From template creation to signed PDF — completely automated.
Link templates to products. When customers order, they automatically receive a signing request via email — no manual work required.
TipTap-powered rich text editor with 6 starter templates. Drag and drop 7 field types: signature, initials, name, email, date, text, and checkbox.
Draw or type signatures on any device. A mobile-friendly signing pad with a clean, distraction-free interface your customers will actually use.
Every signed document gets a tamper-proof Certificate of Completion page with SHA-256 hash — proving document integrity and the full audit trail. The PDF also contains an embedded PKI digital signature verifiable in Adobe Acrobat.
Every signed PDF is timestamped by a trusted third-party authority (TSA) using the RFC 3161 standard. This independently proves the exact moment of signing — not just SignShield's clock — which is critical if a signature is ever challenged in a legal dispute or audit.
Anyone can verify a document's authenticity at app.merchantkits.com/verify using a unique session URL.
Full activity timeline with real-time signing status updates. See exactly who has signed, who has declined, and who is pending — all in one place.
Three steps from install to signed documents in your Shopify orders.
Upload a PDF or build one in our rich text editor. Then drag signature fields exactly where you need them — name, date, signature, initials, and more.
Connect the template to any Shopify product. When a customer places an order containing that product, they automatically receive a signing request via email.
Customers sign on any device. You get notified instantly and a certified PDF is stored securely — viewable anytime from your merchant dashboard.
Two plans. Every feature included in both — choose by how many contracts you send.
50 signing requests per month
Up to 50 new contracts or waivers a month.
300 signing requests per month

Shopify merchants use SignShield to collect e-signatures for all kinds of order-based documents.
Rental businesses, equipment shops, and activity providers can require a signed waiver before fulfilling an order — automatically sent the moment a customer checks out.
Custom work, installations, or subscription services can include a signed service agreement tied directly to the Shopify order, so you never start work without a signature on file.
Health, beauty, and wellness merchants can collect digital consent forms for treatments or procedures, with a tamper-proof record of who signed and when.
Made-to-order, engraved, or personalized products can require sign-off on specifications and return policy before production begins — reducing disputes and chargebacks.
Everything you need to know about SignShield.
Yes. SignShield captures signer intent, identity (name, email, IP address, timestamp), and document integrity using SHA-256 hashing. This meets e-signature standards under the ESIGN Act (US), UETA, and eIDAS (EU). A Certificate of Completion is appended to every signed document as legal evidence. Signed PDFs also contain an embedded PKI digital signature and an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp from an independent authority, so the signing time and document integrity can be verified in Adobe Acrobat — even if SignShield no longer exists.
Link a template to any Shopify product in the SignShield dashboard. When a customer places an order containing that product, SignShield automatically creates a signing session and emails the customer a secure signing link — no manual steps required.
Yes. The signing experience is fully responsive and works on any device. Signers can draw their signature with a finger on a touchscreen or type it in any device. The interface is clean and distraction-free.
The signed PDF (with Certificate of Completion and SHA-256 hash) is stored securely in Google Cloud. The merchant receives an email notification with an audit timeline, and the signing status is updated in the merchant dashboard.
Yes. Every signed document has a unique verification URL at app.merchantkits.com/verify. Anyone can confirm the document's authenticity, view the signer identity, and see the complete signing timeline — without needing a SignShield account.
An RFC 3161 timestamp is issued by an independent Timestamp Authority (TSA) and embedded directly inside the signed PDF. It cryptographically proves the document was signed at a specific date and time — verified by a neutral third party, not just SignShield. This is the same standard used by Adobe Acrobat, DocuSign, and enterprise e-signature platforms. If a signature is ever challenged in court or an audit years from now, the timestamp stands on its own even if our service is unavailable.
SignShield Pro includes 50 new signing requests per calendar month, and SignShield Business includes 300 for $29.99/month. Re-sending an existing request doesn't count. You can upgrade from Settings in the app at any time — the new limit applies as soon as you approve it in Shopify. If you reach your limit, new requests pause until the 1st of the next month, and we email you when it happens. For more than 300 a month, contact us at support@merchantkits.com.
