Best Practices

  1. 1

    Use multi-step forms to break onboarding into logical sections so clients are not overwhelmed by field count.

  2. 2

    Enable partial save so clients can pause, gather needed documents, and resume without losing progress.

  3. 3

    Include file upload fields for logos, brand assets, contracts, and identity documents required for setup.

  4. 4

    Send a welcome email on submission with a summary of what was collected and a timeline for next steps.

  5. 5

    Pre-populate known fields (company name, email, plan type) from your CRM to reduce redundant entry.
