BoloSign Features for 日本 Businesses
BoloSign gives 日本 businesses a complete e-signature platform: unlimited signatures, Google Form-like signature forms, bulk send, custom branding, team workspaces, and a REST API — all at affordable pricing with no per-user fees.
Unlimited Signatures
Sign as many documents as your 日本 business needs — no per-envelope limits, no overage charges, no throttling during busy periods. Whether you send 10 or 10,000 documents per month, your cost stays flat. This is the core advantage over competitors like DocuSign/クラウドサイン who charge per user and per envelope.
Google Form-Like Signature Forms
Create signature-ready forms that work like Google Forms but with legally binding e-signatures. Build intake forms, consent forms, applications, and questionnaires with text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, and signature fields. Share via link or embed on your website. Respondents fill out and sign in one step — no PDF upload required.
REST API
BoloSign's REST API lets 日本 developers embed signing into their own applications, auto-generate documents from templates, trigger signing workflows from business events, and receive webhook notifications when documents are signed. Full documentation at boloforms.com/signature/api/.
Bulk Send via CSV
Upload a CSV file with recipient names and emails, select a template, and send hundreds of personalised documents for signing in one click. Essential for 日本 businesses handling lease renewals, policy acknowledgements, vendor contracts, or seasonal hiring waves.
Custom Branding
Put your 日本 business brand on every signing experience — your logo, colours, email templates, and signing page design. Recipients see your brand, not BoloSign's. This builds trust and creates a professional impression with clients and partners.
Team Collaboration & Workspaces
Add unlimited team members to your workspace. Assign roles and permissions — admin, sender, viewer. Share templates across the team. Track all documents from a centralised dashboard. Perfect for 日本 businesses with multiple departments or office locations.

Why 日本 Businesses Choose BoloSign Over DocuSign/クラウドサイン
DocuSign/クラウドサイン charges ¥50,000+/月 10名. Per-user pricing + document limits make DocuSign/クラウドサイン expensive for growing teams. BoloSign offers affordable flat pricing with unlimited signatures and all features included.
Affordable pricing for 日本 businesses
BoloSign does not charge per user or per envelope. Your 日本 team gets flat-rate pricing — add team members, send more documents, and your bill stays the same. DocuSign/クラウドサイン charges ¥50,000+/月 10名 and the bill grows with every new hire.
Features included, not charged as add-ons
Google Sheets tracking, Stripe payments, CRM integrations, bulk send, custom branding, and form analytics are all included in BoloSign. DocuSign/クラウドサイン charges extra for comparable features.
