Make Online Transactions a Breeze With Docusign Payments

Processing payments after an agreement has been signed can be intricate work, particularly for small businesses spending precious time chasing down outstanding invoices. That time and effort can be eliminated by combining the payment process with electronic signature, making it possible to get paid as soon as an agreement is signed.

More than 65% of businesses with manual payment processes experience payment delays or failure to collect. 20% of businesses spend more than 10 hours a week chasing down payments.

An independent Nashville, Tennessee agency called Martinek Insurance Services was not immune to such struggles, having spent countless hours pursuing payments.

“Prior to Docusign Payments, we spent a full day, almost eight hours, solely collecting signatures and payments for our agreements,” said agency owner Rob Martinek. The tides have turned since he made the digital switch.

“We don’t have to wait on checks anymore,” he said. “It doesn’t change how we operate but only accelerates our business.”

Once payment clears, the agreement is locked-in and finalized without any unnecessary delays.
