Overview

Foxit eSign is a cloud-based electronic signature service for preparing, sending, signing, and managing legally binding agreements. Built on the technology Foxit acquired with eSign Genie in 2021, it covers the full signing lifecycle: uploading documents, building reusable templates, routing to multiple signers, tracking completion, and storing executed agreements with audit trails and signing certificates. It is positioned primarily as a value-oriented alternative to higher-priced incumbents, offering unlimited envelopes (no per-document or per-envelope metering) on its business tier.

The platform is ERP-agnostic and connects to business systems through prebuilt connectors and a developer REST API rather than ERP-specific certified integrations. Its deepest native integration is with Salesforce, where the Foxit for Salesforce package adds document generation (merging CRM data, quotes, price books, and products into templates) alongside eSigning, tracking, and storage. Other connections include Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Google Workspace, and Zapier, plus file connectors for OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box. The eSign REST API lets developers embed signing into custom applications and internal workflows.

Foxit eSign is sold in two main tiers: eSign Essentials (per user, with a capped annual envelope allowance and a 16-language signing experience) and eSign Business (5+ licenses, unlimited envelopes and templates, custom branding, web forms, advanced authentication, bulk send, and API access). Compliance features such as SOC 2 Type II infrastructure, HIPAA support via BAA, 21 CFR Part 11, eIDAS, and GDPR are included on the business tier as standard rather than priced as add-ons. Mobile signing apps are available for iOS and Android.
