Common Reasons
These are the most common reasons why a client is unable to sign a contract template or agreement template they've received:
Contract is still unsent
They were given the wrong URL
Their browser is blocking cookies
Contract is still unsent
It is possible that your contract hasn't been properly "sent" in Bonsai. When viewing the contract, you should see that the progress bar is on "ACCEPT" and that there are buttons to "Send Reminder"
They were given the wrong URL
For security reasons, Bonsai uses different tokenized URLs for each person receiving a contract. Sometimes we see a user trying to share their own URL, which will cause the recipient to be redirected to a "Contract Not Found" page.
If you want to send a contract via URL, you must click the link "SEND VIA LINK" when you are in the process of sending it.
Their browser is blocking cookies
It's uncommon, but some people disable cookies in their browsers due to privacy concerns. Unfortunately, this can cause many issues when using modern web applications.
If your client is able to view the contract but unable to submit the signature form, they may have cookies disabled in their browser. For this, you can either ask them to enable cookies in their browser or you can manually mark the contract as accepted.
Common Solutions
Make sure your contract is sent properly
Mark as Accepted - As the author of the contract, you can mark a contract as accepted if it's been sent.
Ask your client to make sure that cookies are enabled on their browser
