Trustap keeps users and systems informed by sending notifications at key transaction milestones or actions in a transaction's life. These notifications come in the following two forms.

  • Emails that are sent to end users (buyers, sellers).
  • Webhooks that are sent to your system for automation (see Webhooks Guide).

Emails are sent to your users at key points to do the following.

  1. Inform users of changes to the transaction.
  2. Get a response from them to progress the transaction to the next state.
  • The content and request for action of each email is tailored to the recipient and status of the transaction.
  • All email notifications come from the following email address noreply@support.trustap.com.

The following is a sample email a seller receives when they pass shipping details for a transaction.

Customization

By default, your company brand is not displayed in Trustap emails to your buyers and sellers. Trustap does offer options for co-branded emails. Emails containing branding from both your company and Trustap help build user confidence.

The following is an example co-branded email.

Co-branded email including brand name in body

Co-branding is available in two parts.

  1. Your company logo and company name in the email heading.
  2. Your company name in the email body.

You can choose to add either or both options to your emails.

To enable your co-branded email, contact your Trustap integration specialist with the following details.

  • Your preferred branding option (company name in body, company logo and name in heading, or both).
  • Your preferred company name as it should appear in the email.
  • A link to your company logo. We support Favicons (.ico), JPG, and PNG (preferred).

Testing

  • For testing webhooks, refer to the webhook test guide.
  • For testing email notification, we recommend the following.
    1. Use an active test email account during integration.
    2. Follow step 1 to step 5 in either online or face-to-face transaction flow guides to trigger an email.
    3. Watch your inbox for email samples.
