When creating a contract, you can use contract variables as placeholders for specific values or information you want to include in your contract.
For example, a basic contract may begin as follows:
This is a sample membership agreement between [BusinessName] and [FullName], signed on [Date] and valid until [Expiration].
The variables in the example above represent your business’s name, the client’s first and last name, the date the contract is signed, and the date the contract expires. When displayed to clients, the variables are automatically populated with the appropriate information.
