Introduction
Electronic Signature applies a guests signature to the electronic reservation receipt and any attached documents. By signing, guests agree to all the documents that are attached.
Cost
$1 per signature*, this will be deducted from the deposit to your bank account as a Wheelbase Fee Payment on the Transaction Log.
Non-US users, the cost is 1 of your local currency (1 CAD, 1 GBP, 1 AUD, 1 EUR)
*if you change the booking after the guest signed it already, the system will let you regenerate the documents. The guest can then sign the updated documents. It will count as a second signature and would cost another $1
Process
Renters will be prompted onscreen to review and sign documents right after booking confirmation
- If they do not sign at the time of booking confirmation, guests will receive an email from the system with the documents to review and sign 7 days prior to departure
- The Electronic Signatures field on your reservation page in Wheelbase will remain red and show "Not Completed" until the guest signs the documents.
- You can manually send reminders by selecting the "Send Reminder" button
- if you are updating the reservation after the guest signed, a yellow button will give you the option to regenerate the Electronic Signature. Once you clicked that the electronic signature status will fall back to "Not Completed"
- Once signed, the Electronic Signatures field on your reservation page in Wheelbase will turn green and show "Completed"
