Definition
Commercial data services are used to provide the data of a given transaction to:
- Create a QR code that your client’s end-client may scan to store the digital receipt of this transaction. You may integrate this QR code in the front-end of your client. Here you may check a sample integration.
- If the end-client’s email is provided, send an email and link the receipt to the end-client.
Typical usages
Commercial data services are more commonly used by e-commerce plataforms and fully-online ERP platforms where you always have the client’s email and, hence, you only need to make an on-the-fly request without integrations.
PSIs who need a customized integration of the QR code to interact with the end-client are also in the right way using these services.
On the contrary, if you have a physical store or not always have the client’s email in your platform or want a ready-to-use solution with no integrations, you may prefer using TIDI Receipt Assignment instead. It is a fully-built TIDI-hosted webpage that you may directly integrate into your code with the same QR generated as if you were using Commercial data services. Essentially, it helps you link the receipt to your client. Please check this to understand this solution in detail.
The commercial data services are classified as “sales”, “exchanges” and “returns”:
- Sale – Transaction where your client only sells some new product.
- Exchange – Transaction where your client gets some product sold and some product returned.
- Return – Transaction where your client only gets some product returned.
