White-Label E-Signature for Agencies: Resell Under Your Brand

# White-Label E-Signature for Agencies: Resell Under Your Brand

TL;DR

If your clients already sign proposals, SOWs, and onboarding paperwork through you, a white-label e-signature layer lets you put your logo on that moment instead of a vendor's. The real decision is not "which tool," it is whether you bundle it into retainers or resell it as a line item. SignQuick's white-label is flat pricing (150 EUR/mo for up to 100 signed documents, 300 EUR/mo for up to 500), with no per-seat and no per-envelope fees, EU-hosted in Frankfurt, and an eIDAS-compliant audit trail on every signature. This guide is about whether that math works for your agency, not about how to sign a PDF.

Why put e-signature under your own brand

You already own the client relationship. Every proposal, statement of work, retainer, and onboarding form passes through you before it reaches the client. Today, when your client clicks "sign," they usually land on some other vendor's branded page. That is a small leak in an otherwise seamless experience, and for agencies that sell polish, it matters more than it looks.

White-labeling closes the leak in two ways. First, the signing page carries your logo, your color, and your company name, so the handoff stays inside your brand. Second, it turns a cost you were quietly absorbing into either a margin line or a retention lever. A recruitment agency sending offer letters, a wedding planner sending vendor contracts, a web studio sending project agreements: each of them signs documents constantly and each of them can now do it as "you" rather than as a third party.

What "white-label" actually means here

Be precise about what you are buying, because the word is overused. With SignQuick's white-label, your logo, brand color, and company name replace the SignQuick wordmark at the top of every signing page your clients see. On the Pro tier, the small "Powered by SignQuick" attribution under the header is removed entirely, so nothing on the page names the underlying vendor.

One honest caveat worth knowing before you commit: a custom domain is not live yet. Today, signing links are served from signquick.app/sign/ with your logo and colors at the top of the page. The CNAME custom domain (so links can live at sign.your-agency.com) is scheduled for Q3 2026 and is included at no extra cost when it ships. If a fully vanity URL is a hard requirement for a specific client this quarter, factor that timeline in. For most agencies the branded page is what clients actually notice, and that is live today.

The eIDAS level you are actually reselling

If you resell to European clients, you need to describe what you are selling accurately, because getting this wrong creates legal exposure for you, not just the vendor. eIDAS defines three levels of electronic signature: Simple (SES), Advanced (AES), and Qualified (QES). They differ mainly in how strongly the signer's identity is verified.

SignQuick provides eIDAS-compliant Simple Electronic Signatures (SES). SES is legally recognized across the EU and is the right, defensible level for the overwhelming majority of commercial documents: proposals, service agreements, NDAs, retainers, statements of work, and onboarding forms. It is not QES, not AES, and you should never market it as "qualified," "advanced," or "certified." What backs each signature is a complete audit trail (timestamp, signer IP, and a document SHA-256 hash) that makes any post-signature change to the file detectable. That property is tamper-evident, not tamper-proof: the hash reveals if a document was altered, which is exactly what you want when a signed agreement is later questioned.

For agency work, SES is almost always the correct level. QES is typically reserved for things like notarized deeds or specific regulated filings, which are rarely what an agency handles on a client's behalf.

The economics: bundle or resell

Flat pricing is what makes the agency math clean. There are no per-seat charges and no per-envelope fees, so your cost does not move when a client has a busy month. That lets you pick one of two models.

Bundle it into your retainer. You fold the cost into what you already charge and use "signing happens under our brand, EU-hosted, with a full audit trail" as a reason your retainer is worth more. The cost stays fixed while your perceived value goes up.

Resell it as a line item. You charge clients for branded signing as its own service and keep the spread.

Here is a concrete example on the Starter tier at 150 EUR/mo. Suppose you serve 10 active clients and add 20 EUR/mo of "branded document signing" to each retainer. That is 200 EUR of recurring revenue against a fixed 150 EUR cost, so the service pays for itself and adds roughly 50 EUR of margin, before you count the retention value of clients staying inside your workflow. Because the price is flat, the 11th and 12th client cost you nothing extra until you approach the 100-document monthly ceiling. Cross that, and the 300 EUR Pro tier takes you to 500 documents per month, which is a lot of proposals.

The point is not the exact figure. It is that flat pricing makes the unit economics predictable, which is what you need to price a service you are reselling.

What to check before you commit

Run through this short list before you sign your clients up to something you resell:

• Data residency. SignQuick hosts in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) by default, so your clients' documents stay in the EU. If you serve regulated or public-sector clients, this is often a procurement requirement.
• Who owns the records. Every signed PDF embeds its SHA-256 hash and signature proof, and audit trails are exportable via API or CSV at any time. You and your clients keep verifiable records even if you later switch tools.
• The processor agreement. A GDPR Article 28 Data Processing Agreement is included from the Pro tier, which you will want if you are formally handling client data as a sub-processor.
• Integration effort. Basic branded signing needs no engineering: upload a logo, set a color and company name, and the link is live. If you want signing embedded in your own product, a REST API and webhooks (for sent, signed, and declined events) are on both white-label tiers.
• The trial terms. The 14-day trial requires a card up front and auto-charges on day 15 unless you cancel, which you can do at any time.

Starter or Pro

Choose on two axes: monthly volume and how invisible you need the vendor to be.

Starter (150 EUR/mo) covers up to 100 signed documents per month with full branding, the REST API and webhooks, the eIDAS audit trail, and EU hosting. It keeps a small "Powered by SignQuick" line on the signing page. Pro (300 EUR/mo) raises the ceiling to 500 documents, removes that attribution entirely, adds a downloadable audit-trail certificate PDF per signature, includes the Article 28 DPA and priority support, and carries the custom domain when it ships. If clients will ever see the signing page and ask "who runs this," Pro is the tier that answers "you do." If you just need branded signing at modest volume, Starter is enough to start.

FAQ

Can I resell this to my own clients under my agency's name?

Yes. That is the intent. The signing page shows your brand, and on Pro the vendor attribution is removed entirely. You can bundle the cost into retainers or charge for it as a standalone line item; the flat pricing keeps your margin predictable either way.

Is a Simple Electronic Signature legally valid for client contracts?

Yes. SES is recognized across the EU under eIDAS and is the appropriate level for commercial agreements like proposals, SOWs, NDAs, and retainers. Just describe it accurately as SES, and never market it as "qualified," "advanced," or "certified," because SignQuick provides SES only.

Can my client's link use my own domain today?

Not yet. Signing links currently live at signquick.app/sign/ with your logo and colors at the top of the page. The custom domain (so links run on sign.your-agency.com) ships in Q3 2026 and is included at no extra cost when it does.

What happens to signed documents if I stop paying?

The records stay portable. Every signed PDF embeds its own SHA-256 hash and signature proof, verifiable offline, and you can export audit trails via API or CSV at any time. You are not locked in to keep access to what has already been signed.

See it under your brand

The fastest way to judge whether this fits your agency is to put your own logo on the signing page and look at it. The white-label page has a live preview where you can type your agency name, set your color, and drop in your logo to see exactly what your clients would sign on. See it with your own brand on signquick.app/white-label. The 14-day trial is card-required and cancellable anytime, so you can test the full branded flow with a real document before you commit.
