SmartContrat — Electronic Signature for Contracts

SmartContrat adds electronic signature to Dolibarr contracts. Once the client signs, contract services are automatically switched to "Active" status — no manual action needed. Collect the signature remotely or on-site, without any Dolibarr account required for the signer.

TWO SIGNING MODES
• Remote signing: send a secure link by email — the client signs from their phone, tablet or computer.
• On-site (tablet): a "Sign here" button opens an in-page modal directly on the contract card — hand the tablet to your client and collect the signature instantly, no email needed.

WORKFLOW & STATUSES
• "Prepare for signature" button — marks the contract as pending signature
• "Request signature" button — sends email with PDF + secure link
• "Sign on-site (tablet)" button — in-page modal with handwriting pad
• Dedicated status column on the contract list: Pending / Link sent / Signed — Active
• Filter contracts by signature status from the list view
• Contract services automatically set to "Active" (En service) upon signature

SIGNING EXPERIENCE
• Responsive public signature page (mobile, tablet, desktop) — no account required
• Signer reads the full contract PDF before signing (token-secured link)
• Name + handwritten signature capture (SignaturePad library)

SECURITY & eIDAS COMPLIANCE
• SHA-256 hash of the contract PDF computed at token creation
• eIDAS audit trail certificate PDF generated after each signature: signer identity, exact timestamp, IP address, browser fingerprint, document hash, handwritten signature image, certificate integrity hash
• Audit certificate attached to both the signer confirmation email and the team notification email

NOTIFICATIONS
• Confirmation email sent to signer with signed PDF attached
• Notification email sent to the Dolibarr team with signature + certificate
