What are Contracts?

Protect your business with digital contracts

Contracts in creavio let you send legally binding agreements to clients for electronic signature. No printing, scanning, or mailing. Your client receives a link, reviews the terms, signs with a finger or mouse, and both of you get a signed copy instantly.

What you can do

  • Create contracts from templates with pre-built language for common photography agreements like weddings, portraits, events, and commercial work
  • Use smart fields that automatically populate client names, session dates, locations, and pricing so you never copy-paste the wrong details
  • Collect e-signatures through a clean, client-facing signing experience that works on any device
  • Track contract status to see which contracts are drafted, sent, viewed, signed, or expired
  • Store signed contracts permanently in your account so you can reference them anytime
  • Build custom templates for different session types or unique client situations

Why it matters

A signed contract is your safety net. It sets expectations around deliverables, timelines, payment terms, cancellation policies, and image usage rights. Without one, you're exposed to misunderstandings that can cost you time and money. With creavio, sending a contract is as easy as sending an email, so there's no excuse to skip it.

The client experience

Your client receives an email with a link to review and sign. The contract opens in a clean, branded page. They can read through the terms, fill in any required fields, and sign at the bottom. The whole process takes about two minutes. Once signed, both you and your client receive a PDF copy for your records.

How it connects to everything else

Contracts are linked to client records and bookings. You can see at a glance whether a client has signed before their session date. Contracts can also be bundled with invoices in workflows, so after a client books, they automatically receive a contract to sign followed by an invoice to pay.
