Product Configuration
Transact Bridge provides flexible product configuration options to support different merchant integration models. Depending on your business requirements, products can either be pre-configured in the Transact Bridge dashboard or created dynamically during checkout.Product Listing Options
Mandatory Product Listing
Products are pre-configured in the Transact Bridge dashboard before transactions are processed. This approach is recommended for businesses with a fixed product catalog and predefined pricing and tax rules.
Dynamic Product Listing
Products are created dynamically using the details passed in the payment or billing session request. This is ideal for businesses with frequently changing products, pricing, or custom orders.
Mandatory Product Listing
With Mandatory Product Listing, merchants maintain their product catalogue within Transact Bridge. Each product can be configured with its pricing, tax configuration, and other product attributes in advance.Business Benefits
- Centralized product catalogue management.
- Consistent pricing across all sales channels.
- Product-level tax configuration.
- Simplified reporting and reconciliation.
Tax Configuration
Taxes can be configured at the product level, allowing each product to have its own applicable tax rules. If a transaction contains multiple products with different tax rates, Transact Bridge automatically determines the applicable tax based on the configured Product Reference ID or the associated Tax ID, ensuring accurate tax calculation for every item.Dynamic Product Listing
Dynamic Product Listing enables merchants to create products on demand during checkout without pre-configuring them in the dashboard. The products and their attributes are supplied as part of the Create Session or Checkout request. After a successful transaction, the products are automatically recorded for reporting and reconciliation purposes.Business Use Cases
Dynamic Product Listing is recommended when products, pricing, or quantities vary per transaction and maintaining a fixed product catalogue is not practical.
Static Product Pricing
Merchants can configure products with a fixed selling price by enabling Static Quote Price. When Static Quote Price is set to true, the configured Quote Price stored for the product becomes the authoritative selling price. Any amount passed for that product in the Create Session API request is ignored, and the transaction is processed using the predefined Quote Price.Business Benefits
- Prevents price manipulation from client applications.
- Ensures consistent pricing across all payment channels.
- Simplifies pricing management for fixed-price products.
- Reduces pricing discrepancies during checkout.
Use Static Quote Price when product pricing is controlled by the merchant and should remain consistent regardless of the amount passed during session creation.
