PandaDoc 

PandaDoc  enables your fast-moving teams with a simple, sophisticated and all-in-one solution to efficiently manage document creation, editing, and e-signing.

Chargebee supports the following features in this integration:

  • You can configure a contract template in PandaDoc with all the specifics of fields and blocks, where you want the customer to sign.
  • Map the fields from Chargebee's quote to the fields in the PandaDoc template, so that, each time you send out Chargebee's quote as a contract in PandaDoc, the fields automatically get pre-filled along with the sender's signature.
  • Send the Chargebee quote as a contract via PandaDoc.
  • PandaDoc automatically follows up until the customer e-signs the contract.
  • Set actions on Chargebee to change the quote's status to 'Accepted' or automatically 'Create a Subscription' with Auto Collection OFF.

Setting up the integration for your individual sales teams 

When you have multiple sales executives sending out documents to your prospects, each of the individual sales users who have access to Chargebee with the role of ‘Sales Manager', will be able to set up the integration with their custom configurations.

    1. Choose a template from PandaDoc.
    2. Enable the toggle button to attach the Chargebee quote to the PandaDoc template.

Once the Chargebee Quote is sent via PandaDoc, a contract document is created in PandaDoc from the selected PandaDoc template with the fields mapped from the Chargebee Quote. You can also pass additional fields to the recipient by creating a merge field to the Pandadoc template.

Upon creating a contract document on PandaDoc, the contract is sent to the recipient's email address. When the recipient opens the contract and signs the document the automation workflow is triggered in Chargebee, depending on the configuration selected while configuring sync rules. If there is more than one role associated with the selected PandaDoc template, the second signatory receives an email based on the approval workflows defined on the PandaDoc template.
