Partner Opportunities & API
If you run a website where you bring two clients together to transact or hold a deposit, then Transpact may be the ideal solution to enhance your business.
The many websites that use Transpact.com to enhance their customers' trust and thereby greatly boost their sales include MedWow.com, ScarletMist and Artprice.com.
Transpact.com provides a very easy-to-integrate API, with which you can incorporate the full power of escrow into your website within an afternoon - it really is that easy.
And at no cost to you - entirely free.
So online marketplaces and web-platforms can switch on full escrow services at no cost, overnight, on demand.
By getting your customers to pay via Transpact, your customers will know that they are safe, buyers know they will only have to pay out if they get the service or goods they were promised, and sellers can be sure that they will be paid 100% with certainty. Our service may facilitate a whole new tranche of business for your business.
Most importantly, the Transpact process captures your own fees and commissions transparently, and without cost to you - saving you embarrassing invoice and debt collection, or high transaction fees to collect your commissions and fees. So your revenue will automatically increase by 2% or more as you ditch payment collection fees.
And with Transpact.com's escrow, there is no possibility of chargebacks ! So your losses to fraud and payment processors will be reduced to zero.
We provide an automated secure encrypted web service for our partner websites, so that they can generate Transpacts automatically between their clients. Just like a standard Transpact, which is generated by one of the Transpact parties, emails get sent to both participants detailing the proposed terms. These emails can be tailored and styled to your specification, and the Transpact process continues normally from there.
You can specify whether the conditions on the Transpact are negotiable between the parties (as per a standard Transpact) or are fixed. You can also specify that a certain tranche of the money paid into Transpact is your fee, and will be irrevocably removed and paid to you automatically either on receipt of the money at Transpact, or on payment of the money out of Transpact to one of the parties.
By automating and securing the payment process between your clients, a new vista of opportunity awaits you.

- You will not be able to alter the display of the top or right hand or footer areas of web-pages.
- Emails cannot contain any graphics; styling in emails must all be performed in Html.
- For web-pages, the page will link to our standard style sheet (as found on our web-pages) first and then to your supplied stylesheet. Your stylesheet must not use class names that are used in our stylesheet, and must apply styles only by using class names and id names.
- For web-pages, you can supply images, which should be referred to from your stylesheet as /static/images//image1.jpg for example.
- Please remember that our pages are dynamically generated, and we will be replacing dynamic elements in your supplied Html with dynamic code. Therefore, you must keep your css styling simple to enable us to do so – if we cannot replace elements suitably then we will reject your supplied Html page.

Landing Pages
If you wish to create a seamless integrated branded payment process, then where necessary you can open additional tabs or windows for your users as set out here (click on the link below):
Landing Pages - Click Here
In all url's below, replace:
User@Email.com with Relevant User's email address
YourCoName with Your company name, as agreed with Transpact.com
45678 with the Transpact transaction number
If on Test Database (and not on live database):
Add &Test=1 to the end of all urls
If Branding is Switched On (your users will enjoy enhanced registration process), landing pages url's are:
For first-time Transpact.com user:
https://www.transpact.com/Secure/RegisterPartner.aspx?em=User@Email.com&co=YourCoName&JN=45678
The above url can only be called within 2 minutes of you creating the Transpact with the CreateTranspact API web-service call
This allows the enhanced speedy registration process to take place (also available at any time through email sent directly by Transpact.com to user, independently of you).
In all other instances, use:
https://www.transpact.com/Secure/Register.aspx?RegEmail=User@Email.com&co=YourCoName
If you have made payment with this user previously through Transpact.com (so you know that they are already registered with Transpact.com):
https://www.transpact.com/Secure/Login.aspx?Em=User@Email.com&co=YourCoName
If Branding is not yet switched On, landing pages url's are:
For first-time Transpact.com user:
https://www.transpact.com/Secure/Register.aspx?RegEmail=User@Email.com
If you have made payment with this user previously through Transpact.com:
https://www.transpact.com/Secure/Login.aspx?Em=User@Email.com
To switch on branding, you need to supply Transpact.com with your logo and your html logo (html logo is pure html with no anchor tags and no block tags).
Once received, Transpact.com will notify you of your Company Name to use above.
Remember, we show your logo and your name on every email and every web-page, along with ours, so your customers experience a seamless and slick journey/UX.
