Most B2B contracts have at least two signers (provider + client). Complex ones can have four or more. OMB Cloud handles any number with order control.
Add signers
- Open the contract → "Signers" section.
- Click "Add signer". Enter name, email, role (e.g. "CEO, Acme Corp" or "Legal counsel, OMB Cloud").
- Repeat for each party.
Sequential signing
Set "Sign order" to 1, 2, 3... Signer 2 only receives their email after Signer 1 completes. Useful when one party's signature is conditional on the other (e.g. legal must approve before sales counter-signs).
Parallel signing
Set "Sign order" to 0 (or leave blank) for all signers. Everyone receives the email at the same moment. Faster when there's no order dependency.
Mixed mode
Combine: Signers 1 and 2 parallel (both order=1), then Signer 3 (order=2). Useful when two co-signers must both approve before a third party finalizes.
Reminders
Pending signers receive automated reminders every 48 hours after the initial send (configurable). Once they sign, the next stage triggers automatically.
Tips
- Put the most reluctant signer first in sequential mode — once they're in, the rest follows quickly.
- Don't over-engineer signing order; most B2B contracts work fine in parallel.
