Instant contract creation
Simply add the contract and counterparty information in a form to generate contracts with all the right details in place. The contracts will be created based on your templates. This empowers members to create contracts while also ensuring language consistency across all your contracts.
Built-in document editor
Zoho Contracts has a built-in document editor with all the features in our powerful word processor: Zoho Writer. Our complete cloud offering lets you author contracts from wherever you are.
Document assembly
Our advanced clause picker allows contract authors to search for and insert a clause easily in a contract. All clauses in the predefined templates and the ones you add manually will be available in the clause library.
Collaborate
with ease
Share contracts
Coauthor contracts with other members of your organization or get them reviewed by peers. Track changes made by collaborators with the help of redlining (color-coded text). Set view, comment, fill fields, or write permissions for your collaborators.
Obtain field values
When there are unknown parameters at the time of authoring, the author can leave the contract fields unfilled. The author or collaborators with Fill Fields and Write permissions can fill in the fields later.
Comments section
Add review points as comments and participate in discussions with other collaborators via replies. You can also choose who can view your comment with comment visibility settings.
Seamlessly negotiate online
Secure share
Forget the pain of emailing documents as attachments back and forth. Send contracts for negotiation to counterparty contacts via password-protected links. The counterparty contacts can access the contract without a Zoho account.
Counterparty review
Counterparty contacts can collaborate, suggest edits, and add comments to the contract. In contracts with multiple rounds of negotiations, they can compare the document with the versions in earlier rounds.
Review summary
Get a summary of all the changes and comments made by the counterparty after they complete their review.
Track changes
The changes made by the counterparty contacts will be displayed in the form of redlining, so you can easily see the additions, edits, and removals. Accept or reject the changes with just a click.
