Create a proposal that allows your clients to choose from a list of your offers, sign a contract, and pay — all on one page!
In this article:
Before getting started
Make sure you have the following ready to go:
Proposal with packages. See how to build a proposal.
A contract.
A payment processor connected to Dubsado so clients can complete their purchases.
Connect a contract and invoice
Add a contract and invoice so that once your client chooses a package, your client can immediately sign the contract AND submit payment.
Select the proposal in Templates >> Forms.
Click on the Form settings tab.
Toggle Include contract to Yes.
Select a contract from the dropdown. The selected contract will attach to the proposal.
Toggle Include invoice to Yes. After the client submits the proposal, the invoice will display all of the packages that the client chose.
Choose a Payment plan from the dropdown, if applicable.
If you are planning to send the proposal through a workflow, leave the payment plan blank on the proposal — you’ll add the payment plan to the workflow instead. See workflows with payment plans for more information.

Click Add.
Click Open. A new tab containing the proposal will open.
Click Contract or Invoice to tab over to those pages to preview it.
For additional testing, click Send to send yourself an email of the proposal. Open the proposal in an incognito window to fill it out as if you're a client!
FAQ
Can I set multiple contracts that change depending on which package my client chooses?
No. Each proposal can only have one contract. It’s not possible to change the contract based on the package selected, but you can use invoice smart fields in your contract to display the chosen packages.
Can I attach a contract and invoice to a public proposal?
Yes! As long as your public proposal is set up to capture the required client information, new clients can choose your services, sign a contract, and pay all at once.
How do I add a discount?
Toggle Allow discounts to Yes. To create a discount code, go to Templates >> Packages >> Discounts >> Add Discount. See how to create discounts.
