How PreSign Fits Into Your Shipping Workflow

Step 1 – Detect signature-required orders

Flag orders that need a signature using your existing Shopify fulfillment flow or order tags. PreSign watches for these orders and automatically starts the authorization process.

Step 2 – Collect buyer authorization

PreSign emails the customer a secure link to confirm their delivery preferences, accept the terms, and draw a signature. We generate a timestamped, carrier-ready authorization in the background.

Step 3 – Receive a ready-to-use waiver and instructions

Your team receives a clean PDF waiver plus step-by-step instructions for how to process the exception through your UPS or FedEx portal. No guesswork, no frantic calls with the buyer.

Step 4 – Reduce failed deliveries and protect your business

With buyer consent documented and clear internal steps, you cut down on failed delivery attempts, frustrated customers, and liability disputes — especially when shipping high-value items.
