What does Clearcut do?
It helps you quote for work added to an existing client project. For example, if you agreed to build five website pages and the client asks for three more, you can give those three pages a separate price and ask the client to agree.
Does it send an invoice or take the client’s payment?
No. Clearcut records the quote and the client’s answer. Use your usual invoicing and payment tools to bill the client.
Does the client’s answer count as a formal signature?
It records the name and answer the person supplies. Their identity is not verified. Use your normal contract process when you need a formal signature.
