Transcrypt's hosted Invoice user interface must be displayed to the Shopper during checkout. When Transcrypt processes payments, we use Transcrypt’s Best Bid rate. We put our best efforts to guarantee the exchange rate for the Shopper as long as the Shopper settles the Invoice within the proper time frame displayed at each Invoice issued within the Merchant Tools after the Invoice is created. Invoices for Shoppers will be generated using information that is provided by you. It is your sole responsibility to customize the Invoices and prepare them with accurate and complete information on which Invoices to Shoppers are based, including, without limitation, the identity of, and contact information, Shoppers’ information who are being invoiced, the transactions for which you are invoicing Shoppers, and the payable amount. It is solely your obligation to inform us if any errors or discrepancies occur in any Invoices.
3. Invoice Execution
When the Invoice is settled by the Shopper in full it will be considered and marked as “PAID” within the system, which means that the corresponding transaction has reached the required number of block confirmations, and the payment has been credited to your Merchant Account ledger. The number of block confirmations required for a transaction depends on several factors, including the blockchain being used and our internal analysis of risk. We use the best industrial practices of risk mitigation techniques to detect fraudulent payments, such as payments that are at risk of never receiving the required number of block confirmations. However, we do not guaranty that these measures may or will completely eliminate the risk associated with unconfirmed payments.

Underpayments occur when a Shopper sends less than the full amount required to label the Invoice as “PAID”.

The excess funds will not be credited to Merchant Account and remain within the Transcrypt intermediary account. Transcrypt will send an email to the Shopper allowing the Shopper to request a refund for these excess funds.
