What is the difference between transaction certificates and eTransactions?

Transaction certificates and eTransactions are records issued by a certification body that verifies products sold or shipped from one organization to another conform to our standard and may be treated as claimed materials by the receiver. They contain information about the seller, buyer, shipments, products, and certified material volume of the products.

Transaction certificates are generated from a certification body’s platform, reported to dTrackit, and issued as paper-based copies, passed from party to party along the supply chain (see a sample here). A transaction certificate must always be authenticated against the certification body’s platform or dTrackit.

An eTransaction is an online transaction that is generated on an eTrackit technology provider’s platform, verified by a certification body, and shared with the buyer virtually. While an eTransaction receipt may be generated from eTrackit (see sample here), the online eTransaction remains the authenticated source.
