Common Migration Concerns
"What about my existing signed documents?"
Signed documents are legally complete—they don't need to migrate. Download PDFs from DocuSign for your records. Going forward, new signatures will be in Formfy with the same legal validity.
"Will my team need training?"
Minimal training needed. Formfy's interface is simpler than DocuSign. Most users are comfortable within 30 minutes. We provide free onboarding support for Business plans.
"What if clients are used to DocuSign?"
Clients don't need accounts to sign—they just click a link. The signing experience is familiar: review document, add signature, done. Most clients won't notice a difference.
"Is Formfy as secure as DocuSign?"
Yes. Formfy uses 256-bit AES encryption, complete audit trails, and is SOC 2 compliant. Both platforms meet ESIGN Act requirements. See our security guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export my templates from DocuSign?
In DocuSign, go to Templates > select template > Actions > Download. You'll get a PDF of the template. In Formfy, create a new form and upload this PDF, then add signature fields. Most users recreate 10+ templates in under an hour.
Can I import my DocuSign contacts into Formfy?
Yes. Export your DocuSign contacts as CSV (Settings > Users and Groups > Export). In Formfy, go to Contacts > Import CSV. Map the columns and import. All contact data transfers in minutes.
How much will I save switching from DocuSign to Formfy?
Most users save 60-80%. DocuSign Standard costs $45/user/month ($540/year). Formfy costs $19/month for unlimited users ($228/year). That's $312+ saved annually per user, plus you get forms, booking, and payments included.
What happens to my signed documents in DocuSign?
Your signed documents remain accessible in DocuSign. Download important documents as PDFs before canceling. Formfy doesn't import signed documents (they're legally complete), but you can store copies in Formfy's document library.
Is there any downtime when switching?
No downtime required. Set up Formfy while still using DocuSign. Test your new templates, then switch your workflow. Cancel DocuSign only after you've verified everything works. Most migrations complete in 1-2 days.
Will my clients notice the change?
Clients will see a new signing interface, but the experience is similar. Formfy's signing experience is actually faster and more mobile-friendly. Most clients prefer it. You can add a note explaining the upgrade if desired.
