What is the difference between a digital signature and an e-signature?

What is an electronic signature or e-signature (also spelled eSignatures) vs. a digital signature? These terms can be used broadly and interchangeably with signing forms electronically. Typically, however, digital signatures more specifically refer to adding your signature to a document and verifying authenticity, while electronic signatures or e-signatures in the context of an e-signature service like DocuSign® usually refers to collecting other signatures. 

An electronic signature is a legally binding signature for signing an electronic document or record and, according to the E-Sign Act, is equivalent to a handwritten signature.
