White-Label E-Signature for Agencies (Flat €150/mo)

# White-Label E-Signature: The Complete Agency Guide (2026)

TL;DR

White-label e-signature lets an agency, accountant, or consultancy send signing requests under its own brand instead of a third-party tool's. The signer sees the agency's logo, color, and company name on the signing page, in the confirmation email, and on the final PDF audit certificate — never the underlying provider.

For agencies billing clients on retainer, this matters: every touchpoint shapes how the client perceives the value being delivered. A DocuSign-branded signing page sent by an agency tells the client where the work is actually happening.

This guide covers what "white-label" really means in practice, the seven criteria that separate real white-label from cosmetic branding, and a direct cost comparison across SignQuick, DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, and PandaDoc.

Why agencies need white-label e-signature

A web design studio sends a client a contract through HelloSign. The signing email arrives with "Dropbox Sign" in the subject line. The signing page loads under hellosign.com. The audit PDF is stamped "Powered by Dropbox Sign."

Three impressions formed in the client's head, none of them about the agency.

White-label flips that. Brand consistency keeps the agency front-and-centre across the entire deliverable chain — proposal, contract, kickoff, invoice. It also lets agencies legitimately position e-signature as part of their service stack rather than a tool the client could buy directly. That matters when justifying retainer pricing.

The agencies that benefit most:

• Marketing and creative agencies sending contracts and SOWs
• Accountants and bookkeepers handling engagement letters
• Legal-adjacent consultancies (HR, compliance, immigration)
• Real estate brokerages with branded transaction packages
• SaaS resellers bundling e-signature into a wider product

What "white-label" actually means in practice

The term is overused. Some vendors call a custom logo upload "white-label." That's branding, not white-labelling. Here's the actual checklist:

• Signing page: agency logo, color scheme, company name displayed at the top
• Sender identity: emails come from `[email protected]` or a verified custom address
• Custom domain: signers visit `sign.youragency.com`, not the provider's domain
• Audit certificate: the legal PDF appended to every signed document carries the agency's brand
• No vendor watermarks: nowhere on the signing flow does the underlying provider's name appear

Real white-label hides the provider completely. If a client can find the vendor's name by inspecting an email header or reading a footer, it isn't white-label — it's branded reselling.

Comparison: white-label vs reseller vs branding

These three terms get used interchangeably. They are not the same thing.

Many "enterprise" reseller programs require minimum seat commitments or revenue-share contracts. True white-label at a flat monthly rate is rarer than the marketing pages suggest.

7 criteria to choose a white-label e-signature provider

• EU hosting for European clients. GDPR has teeth. If you handle data for EU clients, your subprocessor needs to be EU-hosted. SignQuick runs on AWS Frankfurt with a dedicated EU Postgres VPS. US-only vendors create cross-border transfer obligations.

• eIDAS-compliant audit trail. This is the EU regulation that gives e-signatures legal weight equivalent to wet ink. The audit trail must capture timestamps, IP addresses, and a document hash. Without eIDAS, your client's signed contract may be challenged in an EU court.

• API access at the same plan level. Many vendors gate the API behind a separate enterprise tier. Check that white-label and API are bundled.

• Custom domain (CNAME), not just logo upload. This is the single most-skipped feature. Without `sign.youragency.com`, the vendor's URL appears in every email link.

• Tamper-evident audit certificate. The final PDF should include a hash of the original document so any post-signature modification breaks the chain.

• Flat pricing, no per-signer fees. Agencies send variable volume. Per-envelope pricing makes margin unpredictable.

• Signer experience matters. The signer never logs in, never installs anything, never sees a paywall. If your signing page asks the signer to create an account, you've lost the deal.

Cost comparison: what white-label actually costs in 2026

A few things stand out. Adobe Sign discontinued its standalone brand in 2022 — it's now Adobe Acrobat Sign and folded into the Document Cloud bundle, which makes pricing harder to predict. PandaDoc and Dropbox Sign offer logo branding but not full white-label with a custom domain. DocuSign's true reseller program exists but requires a partner application and volume commitments.

SignQuick's flat €150/mo white-label tier is built for solo agencies and small studios that want the full hidden-vendor experience without enterprise overhead. The Founding Partner cohort (€75/mo for 6 months, max 3 spots, closing end of June 2026) is open now. Full pricing on /pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Is a white-label e-signature legally valid?

Yes. Legal validity comes from the underlying eIDAS-compliant audit trail — timestamps, IP capture, document hash — not from whose logo appears. A white-label signature on SignQuick carries the same legal weight as one signed under our own brand. EU courts have upheld electronic signatures backed by eIDAS audit data since 2014.

How long does white-label setup take?

Logo, color, and company name go live in under 10 minutes from the dashboard. Custom domain (sign.youragency.com) takes one CNAME DNS change and is typically verified within an hour. Most agencies are fully branded before their next client send-out.

Will my clients see any SignQuick branding?

No. The signing page, sender email, in-email links, and the appended PDF audit certificate all carry your logo, color, and company name. SignQuick is invisible to your clients' signers end-to-end.

What is the difference between white-label and API access?

White-label rebrands our hosted signing page with your identity — fastest path to launch. API access lets you embed signing directly into your own product. Both are included on SignQuick's white-label plans, so you can start with branded sends and move to embedded signing later without switching vendors.

What is the Founding Partner price?

€75/mo for 6 months on the white-label tier — 50% off the €150/mo flat rate. Limited to 3 agencies, closing end of June 2026. After the 6-month founding period the rate moves to standard €150/mo.
