FacileConsenso

FacileConsenso (formerly ConsensoSmart) is the WordPress plugin for collecting simple electronic signatures on release forms, privacy consents and declarations. It is designed for freelancers and small Italian businesses: physiotherapists and doctors, beauty and wellness centers, tattoo studios, real estate agencies, technical firms, rental businesses, private schools and sports associations.

Your data stays on your site. Everything lives inside your WordPress site: no external service, no mandatory SaaS subscription. Signed documents, signatures and consent proofs are stored in your own database, not on someone else’s servers.

How it works

1. Choose a document template (release form, privacy consent, minor’s consent) and edit the text if needed
2. Enter the signer’s details and generate a personal signing link
3. Send the link via WhatsApp or email with one click
4. The signer opens the link on their phone, tablet or computer, reads the document, accepts the privacy consent and signs with a finger or the mouse
5. You get the signed document, the PDF and the proof of consent: IP address, device, timestamps, the exact text accepted and a unique hash that makes the document publicly verifiable

External services

The free version makes no external calls whatsoever. The Pro version, sold separately, communicates with our license server (demo.facile4web.it, operated by Facile4Web) to verify the license and check for updates: only the license key and the domain of the site are sent, never data about your contacts or signed documents.
