Step by step instructions
What is the Fastlane?
sproof sign's Fastlane offers a simplified and accelerated solution for collecting signatures and data. With an optimized user interface that focuses on the signature process – view document, fill out form, sign – it reduces distractions and enables fast, straightforward interaction for recipients. Compared to the “classic” editor view, the Fastlane is specially optimized for mobile devices. It also offers a high degree of flexibility in use: Documents can either be shared via email, link or QR code, or embedded as a widget in your own software environment.
The Fastlane also offers a high degree of personalization: For example, you can use your company branding for the user interface and customized user journeys can be configured via so-called Fastlane profiles.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Fastlane via the sproof web application. If you are interested in an API integration of the Fastlane, please contact us by email at sales@sproof.io.
