Frequently asked questions

If something is missing, email hello@docchase.app.

Do my clients need an account?+

No. Each request has a unique, expiring link. Your client opens it from their phone, sees the checklist and uploads files directly. No password, no app, no onboarding.

What file types and sizes are supported?+

PDF, JPG and PNG up to 25MB per file. The server validates the actual file signature, not just the extension, before storing the file.

How do reminders work?+

By default, DocChase schedules emails at 7 days before, 3 days before, 1 day before, on the due date and one day after. You can edit the offsets and the message tone in Settings, or turn reminders off for the practice.

Can I reuse the same checklist every month?+

Yes. Checklists are reusable templates with required and optional items. When you create a request, DocChase copies the items so later template edits do not change requests already sent. Recurring schedules create the next request automatically.

Is my data isolated from other practices?+

Every query is scoped to your account at the repository level, with a second tenant guard in the service layer. The test suite includes cross-tenant access tests that run in CI against PostgreSQL.

What happens to uploaded files if I delete a client or my account?+

Deleting your account removes client records, requests, files, audit logs and stored objects. You can export a ZIP per client, or a full account ZIP, before deleting. Retention is configurable per practice.

Can I use my own logo and color?+

Yes. Set your practice name, brand color and logo URL in Settings. The client portal and reminder emails use them.

Can my team use the same account?+

Yes, on the Pro and Firma plans. Invite teammates by email from Settings. Roles are owner, admin and member; plan limits apply to the number of users.

How do I pay?+

Through a Merchant of Record so sales tax and VAT are handled for you. The code ships with a Paddle adapter and a local mock provider for development. Annual billing is two months free.

Is there an API or mobile app?+

The MVP is a responsive web app. The portal is mobile-first because clients upload from phones. A mobile app, OCR and accounting integrations are documented as extension points, not included.
