Overview
Transact provides all the built-in functionality you need to
run a Web business, with a complete set of end-to-end
commerce services, including online customer
authentication and authorization, online order and
payment processing, automated tax and shipping
calculations, online order and tracking status, and online
customer service.
You can own and operate this solution yourself, or turn to a
Commerce Service Provider (CSP) who will provide
these commerce services to you for a monthly fee. This
unique solution allows businesses of all sizes and types to
take advantage of the comprehensive, robust, flexible,
secure functionality offered by Transact. And, because
Transact is a packaged software application (versus a
toolkit or completely custom solution), your Web business
can be up and running quickly and cost effectively.

UPS Functionality
Open Market and UPS have forged an alliance to provide
integrated logistics and fulfillment called the UPS
Logistics Gateway. Users will be able to prepare
packages for shipment through an interface with UPS
OnLine® Professional shipping software, and will be able
to track the packages with a standard UPS shipping
number or a reference number assigned when an order is
placed.
How UPS Adds Value to the System
Businesses will not have to re-key shipping information,
as it will be automatically captured from the Transact
system to flow into the UPS system, generating a printed
shipping label and updating Transact with the UPS
tracking number.
